He stared at Colton, watching his body language, waiting for an instruction. Buzz now knew the difference.Ĭolton came to a stop and Buzz stopped with him. Not just because of duty, but because of respect. They would die for him, and Buzz would do the same. Not with Jed and his pack-mates at his side. He would never be scared, never be alone. Even Jed’s parents had taken him in, insisting he call them “Mama” and “Dad.” He felt strange doing so at first, but the love they showed him even from the start made it easy. With his new brothers and sisters, he was no longer afraid to be himself. There was nothing better than running with your pack at night under the light of the moon. Even though Jed was in his wolf shape, Buzz could have sworn he had a smile on his face.īuzz understood. Especially with the little ones they now had in the pack.īuzz looked up into the sky, letting the moon’s rays wash over him. With the threat of the hunters on them, it was more important than ever that they be at one with their alpha. Since Shell’s kidnapping, they had stepped up their training and exercise routines. His heart raced, his senses on high alert. They darted through the trees, following the river line. (Note: Both Chapter 17 and the Epilogue were posted at the same time.)Īt Jed’s side, Buzz followed their alpha. On the third level, this is a love story. His own ability to draw stunning pictures makes Istanbul as grimly vivid as Raskolnikov's St. Pamuk not only immerses us in this debate he makes the pictures of dogs, Satan, gold coins, etc., "talk," imitating the shadow-play method of traveling storytellers. Enishte, in particular, has become enamored of the perspectival method favored by Venetian painters, and wants his artists to achieve a comparable representation of reality, rather than abiding by traditional rules of representation. In coffeehouses frequented by poets and artists, the backwash from the European Renaissance is starting to call into question fundamental principle of Islamic culture. As a murder mystery, it asks who killed a gilder named Elegant, employed by an atelier of miniaturists, and then Enishte, the man who was funding the atelier? On another level, this is a story of ideas. Set in the 16th century, at the tipping point when the Ottoman Empire was being transformed from the world's most feared superpower into an imperial backwater, Pamuk's story works on three levels. Meshing the tropes of the tavern storyteller with the recent fashion for historical mysteries (à la The Name of the RoseĪnd An Instance of the Fingerpost), Pamuk's novel could cause a sensation here, just as it did in his native Turkey.

Interestingly, in de Beaumont’s version of Madame de Ganges’s tale, written as a moral for young women, she seemingly attributes some culpability to the Marchioness in her own downfall. When neither succeeds in corrupting her virtue, their anger is so great that they decide to murder her – with the endorsement of her husband.Īppearances matter. She makes a poor choice, however, and marries a jealous husband with two villainous brothers, both of whom fall in love with her. The protagonist has an unfortunate story: a wealthy, beautiful and virtuous young woman remarries after becoming widowed. The original Belleīefore her Beauty adaptation, the writer translated the tragic tale of Madame de Ganges, based on the real-life tragic history of Diane-Elisabeth de Rossan. Surprising though it may seem – more modernly, some have interpreted Beauty and the Beast as a tale of Stockholm Syndrome rather than romance – when you look at de Beaumont’s other work it makes sense. But rather than just fantasy or fable, her rendering of Beauty and the Beast is actually more a critique of women’s rights of the time, hidden behind layers of marital guidance. French writer Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont (1711-1780).ĭe Beaumont published approximately 70 volumes during her literary career and was celebrated as a writer of fairy tales. Some schools still encourage children to dress up as “Indians” with feathered headbands for the occasion. They will transport young readers and listeners, and in the process, they will banish the notion (still so often perpetuated in pop culture) that Native Americans are but obsolete ghosts of a tragic past.Īs Thanksgiving nears, people often begin to bring back those Eurocentric views, telling the story of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Whether your child has Ojibwe, Inuit, or Choctaw blood or not, these stories will have a certain power over them. And there are inspiring true tales as well. There are poems weaving together the present and the past, the real and the mythical. There are picture books for young readers that connect contemporary life to old traditions. There are some historical fiction tales in here, but they have so much more truth to them when written by their own people. We’re not talking about historical fiction romanticizing the way a few clever Indians helped the white man conquer their ancestral land. Just like the many tribes that have inhabited North America, there is a wonderfully diverse range of books available for kids about Native Americans. It’s a simpler story than later ones but doesn’t skimp on politics and the reality of war, seeing teenagers having to grow up when faced with an invasion of their home is always sobering, even in a fantasy setting. The added detail I feel brings the story of Tomas and Pug more to life adding a little bit of richness to the details. Raymond Feist revisited this book in later life and expanded some of the details and this was my first reading of the extended version (my original copy is that old skool cover over there!). One dreams of being a great warrior and marrying the beautiful elf queen, the other (an orphan) dreams of having the power to rise above his station. The first book in the series is a great entry point and tells the tale of 2 young boys growing up in a rustic castle by the coast. I’ve revisited the first (and for me, still the best) trilogy this year to see if it’s still as good as I remember. It’s a richly detailed fantasy epic comprising inter-related shorter series and actually came to a conclusion in Magician’s End many years after the first books. Going to try and make up for that now by reviewing my trip back to Midkemia! Raymond Feist’s fantasy world, based on the D&D game he and friends played, is always a solid read. It’s been a strange year, I actually started it reading at pace but then lost my inspiration for writing about what I’d read. And it left me with a grin that reached up into my own hairline. Ultimately, Crown celebrates identity, confidence, healthy masculinity, and the precious cultural value of tradition. This vibrancy is matched by James’s exquisite illustrations, which are a riot of life and movement. The sting of witch hazel becomes “an electric stamp of approval” a man with his own fresh cut “looks like he owns a few acres of land on Saturn”. It explores the rich sense of community that comes from frequenting the local barber shop, building a picture of the boy as one not alone against the world but part of a world peopled by good men, and it imbues him with the courage to be a good man himself - to hold his head high.Ĭrown takes a fierce delight in words. The lyrical style is reminiscent of spoken-word poetry as the text rejoices in the rite-of-passage that is a trip to the barber. In a voice that conjures up images of a large-hearted dad talking to his son, the narrator speaks to a young black boy - to all African-American boys - on the power of a great haircut. James, and is one of the disproportionately few picture books to have made it to the Newbery Honor roll. Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut is written by Derrick Barnes and illustrated by Gordon C.

It’s amazing what a tight fade, high/low/bald On Green Dolphin Street was the main theme of the 1947 MGM movie Green Dolphin Street, based on the Elizabeth Gouge’s 1944 book Green Dolphin Country.
