I enjoyed the illustrations, and I thought it was published with care, and great attention to all details.” This unique book is intended for all ages. ![]() This work contains over 40 illustrated pages with hand lettering and includes a foreword by Roger Craik detailing this book’s creation by his parents. From the pillaging rats to the gluttonous council members, every pen and brush stroke brings Browning’s moral home. The pages have bold, imaginative drawings, deep lines, rich colors and fine (often idiosyncratic) details. The dramatic events that Browning recorded in 1842 marvelously unfold in the Craiks’ illustrations. ![]() ![]() Robert Browning’s poem captures the mysterious nature of the Piper legend and the resplendent, rich time period in which the tale took place, which has inspired many great illustrators such as Kate Greenaway, Arthur Rackham, Margaret Tarant, and Maxfield Parrish. BlazeVOX presents for the first time this wonderful edition, originally created in 1959 as a gift by the illustrators to their young son. This facsimile of Robert Browning’s The Pied Piper of Hamelin, A Child’s Story is beautifully illustrated and colored by T. ![]() ![]() Following Jesus’s tradition of focusing on the principles behind rules rather than the rules themselves, Laura argues that love is what’s important, not marriage. Significantly, Laura frames her critique of marriage not in a progressive feminist light, but rather in a Christian one. Furthermore, Laura’s argument about marriage being an “outworn institution” that is more an economic transaction than a sacred bond foreshadows the feminist claims that became popular later in the 20th century. ![]() These days, many would argue that love is self-evidently more important than marriage. From a contemporary perspective, it may seem obvious that Laura’s argument is at least partly correct. When Iris confronts Laura about this in private, Laura replies with this quotation. Recently, Winifred has complained to Iris that Laura has been expressing outlandish ideas, such as saying that love is more important than marriage. ![]() Following the death of Norval, Laura has (reluctantly) been living with Richard, Winifred, and Iris in Toronto, where she has caused a great deal of trouble. ![]() ![]() ![]() The surroundings, the climate, the lifestyle.

It tells the story of one woman, her life and marriage, and wraps around it the story of Trinidad in the second half of the twentieth century.įrench born Sabine moved to Trinidad in 1956 with her English husband, George. Since then it appeared on the shortlist, and now that I have read it I have to say that I would be thrilled to see it win. I wasn’t sure that it would be my sort of book, but I heard so much praise that I really had to order a copy. I didn’t come across The White Woman on the Green Bicycle until it appeared on the longlist for the Orange Prize for Fiction. ![]() ![]() From there, it was a very Matrix-like point…or sort of like an Inception-like dream. It didn’t make enough sense until a pivotal plot point was explained, that, theoretically, could have happened during the final moments of the animated film Sleeping Beauty. George: Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale is a very interesting way to re-boot the story, but I still found myself wandering (and wondering) during the first part of the book. Instead of starting at the beginning, the book begins with the question: “What if Sleeping Beauty never woke up?” Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell This go-round tells Sleeping Beauty’s tale different right from the first page. Jeff: The first book in the series followed Aladdin’s tale to a T for the first quarter, before veering wildly off the path. The premise of the Twisted Tales series is that the author takes a beloved animated film from Disney and re-imagines it–as if something different might have happened. We reviewed Liz Bradwell’s A Whole New World (Twisted Tales #1) and we loved how she took the story in a different direction. The animated film has had a couple of re-tellings over the past few years, especially by Disney. ![]() George: Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale is more than just a re-telling of Sleeping Beauty. ![]() ![]() Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell What if the Sleeping Beauty never woke up? ![]() ![]() Like a weaver of fine cloth, he spun the tales and legends of love into an amazing tapestry of the human psyche. ![]() ![]() For as all true loves know, love is perfect kindness, which is born, there is no doubt, from the heart and the eyes.”īILL MOYERS: One of Joseph Campbell’s most eloquent essays was called simply, “The Mythology of Love.” “What a wonderful theme,” he wrote, “and what a wonderful world of myth one finds in celebration of this universal mystery.” Stories of love fascinate the human race, and Campbell made their interpretation one of the great passions of his life as a scholar, teacher and philosopher. And when they are in full accord and firm, all three in one resolve, at that time perfect love is born from what the eyes have made welcome, to the heart. And the eyes go reconnoitering for what it would please the heart to possess. ![]() JOSEPH CAMPBELL: “So through the eyes love attains the heart, for the eyes are the scouts of the heart. ![]() Released in 1988, The Power of Myth was one of the most popular TV series in the history of public television, and continues to inspire new audiences. ![]() ![]() ![]() This creepy crawler will shine bright wherever you put it.

If you like history, though, it’s worth the long read. The book is very, VERY long, so plan on spending some time with it. Los Angeles Times About the Author Gary Jennings was known for the rigorous and intensive research behind his books, which often included hazardous travel-exploring every corner of Mexico for his Aztec novels, retracing the numerous wanderings of Marco Polo for The Journeyers, joining nine different circuses for Spangle, and roaming the Balkans for Raptor. By telling his story, the merchant pretty much lays out the entire history of the Aztecs, as well as all of Central and South America. ![]() The New York Times Anyone who reads, anyone who still lusts for adventure or that book you cant put down, will glory in Aztec. Review Quotes A dazzling and hypnotic historical novel. The story of Mixtli is the story of the Aztecs themselves-a compelling, epic tale of heroic dignity and a colossal civilizations rise and fall. Told in the words of one of the most robust and memorable characters in modern fiction, Mixtli-Dark Cloud, Aztec reveals the very depths of Aztec civilization from the peak and feather-banner splendor of the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan to the arrival of Hernn Corts and his conquistadores, and their destruction of the Aztec empire.
