... Read more
An uncommon book about an uncommon man. A fictional biography of 20th Century America's leading folk artist. The author has written the first and only biography of Peter Hunt, mid-20th century America's most famous and prolific folk artist. Hunt was a colorful, larger than life character who rose from immigrant poverty in Jersey City where he began life as Freddy Schnizter, later evolving into Peter "Lord Templeton" Hunt. As he re-invented himself, he moved into the wealthiest social circles, where he reigned like a bauble on a charm bracelet until the 1950s when his fame began to fade. Using Cape Cod as his base for over 40 years, Hunt became a local fixture and national media darling before dying alone and almost forgotten in 1967. His art, however, is enjoying renewed popularity and commanding prices he could only have imagined, thanks in large measure to the spotlight the author has shone upon him.

An important addition to the literature on modern English p
... Read more
An important addition to the literature on modern English poets and poetryA significant poet in her own right, Ruth Pitter has long deserved this biography, which thoughtfully assesses her place in the British poetic landscape. Popular in the United Kingdom from the early 1930s until her death in 1992, Pitter won the Hawthornden Prize for Literature in 1937 for A Trophy of Arms and was the first woman to win the Queen's Gold Medal for poetry in 1955. A working artisan from Chelsea, she lived through World War I and World War II and appeared often on BBC radio and television. Pitter had close relationships with C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Lord David Cecil, and other Inklings. Author Don W. King's exploration of these notable friendships brings a critical perspective to Pitter's remarkable life and work.Once she found her poetic voice, Pitter created work that is profound, amusing, and beautiful. The lyricism and accessibility of her poems reflect her personality--humorous, independent, brave, kind, stern, proud, and humble. King draws on Pitter's personal journals and letters to present this overview of her life and also offers a close, critical reading of Pitter's poetry, tracing her development as a poet.Hunting the Unicorn is the first treatment to discuss the entire body of Pitter's verse. It will appeal to scholars and general readers as it places Pitter into the overall context of twentieth-century British poetry and portrays a rather modest, hardworking woman who also "witnessed" the world through the lens of a gifted poet.

He would answer to “Hi!” or to any loud cry,Such as “Fry me!” or “Fritter my wig!” To “What-you-may-call-um!” or “What-was-his name!”But especially “Thing-um-a-jig!”While, for those who preferred a more forcible word,He had different names from these: His intimate friends called him “Candle-ends,” And his enemies “Toasted-cheese.”“His form is ungainly his intellect small——(So the Bellman would often remark)“But his courage is perfect! And that, after all, Is the thing that one needs with a Snark.”He would joke with hyenas, returning their stareWith an impudent wag of the head: And he once went a walk, paw-in-paw, with a bear,“Just to keep up its spirits,” he said. The Hunting of the Snark is Lewis Carroll’s epic nonsense poem, first published in 1876. Though Carroll’s peculiar wit and imagination are evident here, this work, unlike his earlier Alice books, is a much darker tale. Here, ten characters whose names begin with the letter B disappear, go mad, and find themselves struggling to navigate an impossible path through a nonsensical world. Throughout the poem there is a prevailing atmosphere of disorder and chaos, heightened by Carroll’s descriptions of grotesque creatures such as the Bandersnatch and the Jubjub bird and his characteristic use of invented words—such as uffish, beamish, and frumious. The meaning of the poem, and of the Snark itself, has been the subject of much debate, but nevertheless it remains a fun and lively read thanks to its combination of strangeness and whimsy. This new facsimile edition of the 1876 riginal is richly bound in red cloth with gold embossing and features reproductions of the original illustrations by Henry Holiday. This edition of the The Hunting of the Snark will be a treasured gift and collector’s item for fanciful readers of all ages.

With them you will cross a field of tall, wavy grass ("Swishy swashy!"), wade through a deep, cold river ("Splash splosh!"), struggle through swampy mud ("Squelch squerch!"), find your way through a big, dark forest ("Stumble trip!"), fight through a whirling snowstorm ("Hoooo woooo!"), and enter a narrow, gloomy cave.

... Read more
Dorothy H. Finley is an Arizona icon. As a child, she grew up in hard times on a cattle ranch in the wilderness without electricity, water, indoor plumbing or air conditioning. She lived through the troubles, a time when her father and uncles were indicted for killing a man during a real Old West shootout and feared they might have to flee to Brazil to evade the law. From the age of four, she was on horseback herding cattle. At ten, she learned to drive a ranch truck, loaded 100-pound bales of hay in the back and fed the cows. She attended a one-room schoolhouse in the middle of a cow pasture. She became a schoolteacher and principal in the Tucson United School District (TUSD), started a beer distribution company with her husband and eventually became its CEO. Today she is a major philanthropist, and has been on the boards of more than 50 nonprofit organizations such as the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona Children's Home, the Arizona Historical Society, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Girl Scouts of America, the Greater Tucson Economic Council, the Pima Community College Foundation, the Tucson Children's Museum, the Tucson Medical Center, and the Women's Studies Advisory Board. Dorothy was the driving force in preventing the closure of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. As a board member for DM-50, she went to Washington, DC, and convinced the senators to keep D-M open, saving Tucson and the state of Arizona millions of dollars in revenue, as well as thousands of jobs. She has received outstanding awards including 1987's Entrepreneur of the Year, the 1999 Jimmy Hart Award, the 1992 National Spirit of Life Award, the 2001 Ray Davies Humanitarian Award, the Mae Carvell Award, and the 2003 Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher Distinguished Citizen Humanitarian Award. Two organizations named their centers after Dorothy: the Dorothy H. Finley Child Development Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and the Dorothy H. Finley Space Exploratorium & Challenger Learning Center of the Southwest. Dorothy Finley has written a historical memoir of her life, Just Plain Dorothy, with the assistance of well-known writer Allen R. Kates, MFAW, author of CopShock and other books (listed on Amazon.com). Starting around 1917, the book takes the reader on a voyage through the Old West, with gunfights and western justice. The story shows Dorothy on cattle roundups, how she nearly died from an Arizona Bark Scorpion sting, and how her family used outrageous folk medicine like turpentine and a petrified bee hive to cure their illnesses. The book takes the reader through the terrible times of the Great Depression, the first and second World Wars, shows Dorothy's years at the University of Arizona, and reveals her loves and disappointments including an engagement to a pilot who was severely wounded on a bombing run over Germany. We see Dorothy when she meets her husband Harold and watch them struggle to start a beer distribution company and make it grow. This book is the story of an American legend.

... Read more
A stylish, screamingly funny, razor-sharp look at the British aristocracy in decline, Hunting Unicorns introduces us to the owners of the vast Bevan estate: the Earl and Countess-charming and possibly round the bend; Daniel, their eldest son-funny and clever, but a hopeless alcoholic; and Rory-the younger brother mired in the tidying up of his family's well-meaning schemes. Adrift in a rapidly changing world, the Bevans cling to tradition while wrestling with taxes, tree blight, and the need to keep the family skeleton firmly in the cupboard. Enter Maggie, an opinionated American journalist for the hard-hitting show Newsline. Far happier sending dispatches back from the trenches of war-torn anywhere, Maggie is none too pleased at being forced to research a documentary on the decline of England's upper classes. When these two worlds collide, no one is prepared for the fallout. The story of two brothers bound by duty, and one woman who feels bound by no one, Hunting Unicorns is a delightful romantic comedy that explores loyalty, family, and, ultimately, having the courage to risk everything in the pursuit of what really counts.

The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in the small
... Read more
The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in the small town of Concordia, Tennessee-a town consisting of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware store, one beauty parlor, one barber shop, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches. That didn't stop Aaron Bronson, a Russian immigrant, from moving his young family out of New York by horse and wagon and journeying to this remote corner of the South to open a small dry goods store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store. Never mind that he was greeted with "Danged if I ever heard tell of a Jew storekeeper afore." Never mind that all the townspeople were suspicious of any strangers. Never mind that the Klan actively discouraged the presence of outsiders. Aaron Bronson bravely established a business and proved in the process that his family could make a home, and a life, anywhere. With great fondness and a fine dry wit, Stella Suberman tells the story of her family in an account that Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, described as "a gem...Vividly told and captivating in its humanity." Now available for the first time in paperback, here is the book that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said was "forthright. . . . not a revisionist history of Jewish life in the small-town South but . . . written within the context of the 1920s, making it valuable history as well as a moving family story."

When Marsha Hunt posed naked for Patrick Lichfield in Janua
... Read more
When Marsha Hunt posed naked for Patrick Lichfield in January 2005, it wasn’t the first time. They were duplicating the shot he had taken of her in September 1968 after the opening of Hair. With its notorious nude scene, the show made Hunt, then 22, a household name and launched a notable music, acting, and writing career. What was so different about Hunt’s second sitting with Lichfield was that she had recently had a mastectomy and lymphectomy. In Undefeated, Hunt describes how she decided to treat her cancer like a dangerous adventure, transforming the crisis into an opportunity for others to change their perceptions of female sexuality and beauty. Along the way she describes her encounters with the Rolling Stones; discusses her battle with the hospital superbug MRSA; and recalls falling in love on the Internet. Hunt brings her skills as a novelist to this compelling story that shines with courage, humor, and indomitable spirit.
