(Christine) Verstraete claims to have solved the 1892 mystery of who killed Fall River, Mass. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Author of true grit![]() ![]() Not just a classic Western, but an undeniable classic of American literature as eccentric, cool, funny, and unflinching as Mattie Ross herself. Filled with an unwavering urge to avenge her father’s blood, Mattie finds and, after some tenacious finagling, enlists one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available US Marshal, as her partner in pursuit, and they head off into Indian Territory after the killer. True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen when the coward Tom Chaney shoots her father in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 cash. This story of danger and adventure in the old west became the basis for two award-winning films, the first starring John Wayne, in his only Oscar-winning role, as Marshall Rooster Cogburn, and the widely praised remake by the Coen brothers, starring Jeff Bridges. True Grit, his most famous novel, was first published in 1968, and has garnered critical acclaim as well as enthusiastic praise from countless passionate fans for more than fifty years. ![]() “Charles Portis had a wonderful talent-original, quirky, exciting.” -Larry McMurtryĬharles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America’s most enduring and incomparable literary voices, and his novels have left an indelible mark on the American canon. ![]() “The dialogue in True Grit is exquisite.” -David Mamet “Quite simply, an American masterpiece.” - Boston Globe ![]() ![]() ![]() The author does a good job of bringing one of England's most famous kings to life. Overall I cannot recommend enough and look forward to the next title!! ![]() Overall I was entirely impressed with this installment, perhaps more so than Revolt of the Eaglets, because the voice of Richard is so clear, just like that of Eleanor of Aquitaine was in the Plantagenet Prelude. Speculation about Richard's sexuality runs rife and Plaidy's take on his relationship with Saladin (a mutual respect and nobility in both characters) is novel. The Heart of the Lion is packed with facts concerning the reign of Richard I and also has a fair bit of fiction in there too. However if I watch series, films and read fiction about it before hand I find the information sinking in easier, the whole thing becoming pleasure instead of pain. For me engaging a new historical period solely on the strength of non-fiction is daunting. Plaidy books are for those who love history but need a light or fictitious doorway to saunter in through. Whilst having little to no interest in the Plantagenet dynasty before now I suddenly find myself enthralled, almost entirely through her wonderful writings, and gaining new knowledge day by day of the period. I am, if anyone hadn't guessed thus far, a massive fan of Jean Plaidy. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Synopsis of lightlark![]() Within weeks, “Lightlark” had been purchased as part of a two-book deal by Amulet Books, the YA and middle-grade imprint of Abrams Books.

I found Roach’s conversational writing style to be an interesting and accessible approach to what is typically a very tedious and overly academic topic. ![]() From bears taking advantage of unlocked trash cans to birds bringing down aircraft mid-flight, Roach breaks down each alleged, “crime,” as a failure on humanities part to create a co-existing enviroment. Roach draws uses man created laws and ordinances to create a better understanding of our relationship with the wild animals we may encounter in our every day lives, (like breaking and entering bears, theiving sea gulls, or jaywalking deer).Įach chapter Roach journey’s with a biologist, conservationist, or activist to take the reader on a journey to different animal “crime scenes” across the globe to learn how animals are responding to our presence and influence.
