It’s a subject that may also resonate with parents.Īs a mom raising three children (pictured above), this book reminded me of my own past failures and triumphs and has encouraged me to think more carefully about how I define success for my children. This subject may resonate with young adults, whom we teach to reach for the stars, without necessarily teaching them how to land gracefully if they don’t quite make it. ![]() This is a novel about re-adjusting expectations when you don’t succeed, or, if you do, re-adjusting expectations when success doesn’t turn out to be the way you dreamed it would. ![]() For me, Geary focuses too heavily on the mechanics of a possible new type of magical power when Elorie’s personal development is the real beauty of this story.

The facts presented are written in a way that is geared toward that older age group. However, I will say that even though the book is aged for kindergarten and above, I'd probably give this book to older elementary kids or younger middle schoolers. This book is thorough without being boring and overwhelming. ![]() If only books were a uniquely *transportable* magic. The illustrations are whimsical and inviting, and I found myself wishing I could hop right onto the page and see the sights in real life.

It starts off when Judith and her brother Peregrine go off to London to savour the wonders of Town life, without informing their guardian “The Fifth Earl of Worth, Julian”. The Girl, though not fashionably dark, is a classic Blonde Beauty (rare in Heyer books) – though not ‘ethereal’ and of course, the Hero is handsome, fashionable, a trifle older, and “a complete hand”, or “an out-and-outer” if you wish. So they savour the best Life can offer them, and we witness them. ![]() The main characters all rich, unimpeachable in birth, and “pink of the Ton” as Heyer would say. If you want to read a “happy” book, this is it. And this book formed the perfect foil for it. Prior to reading this, I had been devouring Jane Austen. Regency Buck is what I consider a classic Heyer novel. (Jump to my Ratings at the bottom of this post) It re-ignited my interest in the author and her wonderful works. I can understand the pain of being separated from a book you would like to re-read.Īnd so, after years of thinking about it I bought my first, very own, Georgette Heyer. ![]() More so because I am a book lover, and I stay in a city quite far away from hers.

I have not given references to Robert Thompson’s reproductions, but instead refer interested readers to his website. I have been assisted also by three sources of information which appeared too late for me to use when writing my book, but to which I now refer: A Ransome Book-Case by John Cowen (Amazon Publications, 2000, hereafter abbreviated ‘Cowen’) The Arthur Ransome Society Library Catalogue by Margaret and Joe Ratcliffe (Autumn 2000, hereafter ‘Ratcliffe’) and Robert Thompson’s website (hereafter ‘Thompson’) devoted to Ransome’s children’s books, which like Cowen and Ratcliffe helpfully reproduces numerous book covers, as well as audio cassette liners. ![]() ![]() ![]() This essay illustrates how the author resorts to Malawian mythology to formulate a vernacular perspective on tragedy, and to valorize native African agency in the fight against imperial domination.
