The anecdote about Nana Upstairs having to be tied to a chair to keep from falling out and Tommy asking Nana Downstairs to tie him in a chair, too, is one of the best things that I have ever read. ![]() ![]() This book steps so delicately upon the walkway of Tomie's youth that its construction is equal to that of the magnificent spiderweb spun by nature's surest architect. I feel as if I know Tom, and Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs, and all the rest of Tomie's wonderful family as well as if they were my kin, too, and that is truly a special feeling that is hard to fully put into words. Speaking for myself in all sincerity, his picture-book family histories have welcomed me into the life he has led as warmly as if I were a part of the family. There is nothing in literature like the books that Tomie dePaola has written about his family when he was growing up. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments The silmarillion book![]() ![]() ![]() The book also includes several shorter works: the Ainulindalë, a myth of the Creation, and the Valaquenta, in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. ![]() The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor.

Though Tommy’s not forthcoming, it’s pretty easy to guess what he’s uncertain about, but it’s never easy to guess the next twist in this kooky charmer of a Cyrano mystery tale. Yoda counsels students on everything from American Idol outcomes to overcoming fear of softball failure to what to do when you get a little water stain on your pants in just the wrong place. Tommy’s friend Harvey, a skeptic, comments on each story, and another friend, Kellen, illustrates. Tommy compiles this case file, written by himself and other students who have benefited (or not) from Dwight/Yoda’s help, in an attempt to decide. Sixth grader Tommy has a dilemma: He doesn’t know whether to trust the advice of Origami Yoda, who dispenses wisdom from his perch on the finger of mega-nerd Dwight. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments The goblin market![]() ![]() What imagery surrounds her partaking of goblin fruits, and her death?

5/20/2023 0 Comments Valour and vanity![]() ![]() When I wrote the book, my husband and I were in a period where we had just moved to NYC and he was having trouble finding work, so I was supporting us on my theater income. Conflict doesn’t stop either, but it changes. I really like having a happily married couple in the leading role because, darn it, romance and adventure don’t stop just because you tie the knot. It’s like this: What I love about writing these books is actually the relationship between Jane and Vincent. The way I got there was slightly more complicated though. With magic.” So it’s a Regency-era heist novel of manners. ![]() The elevator pitch for Valour and Vanity is pretty simple, “Jane Austen writes Ocean’s Eleven. ![]() Here she is to tell you about what’s at the heart of Valour and Vanity - and what it is may surprise you. Short form: Mary Robinette Kowal is a fabulous writer, her Glamourist Histories series is award-winning, and the latest, Valour and Vanity, is wonderful, and has gathered acclaim and starred reviews (I am biased toward Mary, who is one of my best friends, but this does not mean all the above is not also true). ![]() |
