This book not only gives children a valuable lesson in exploration but in the end, they are treated to a special time that Bonnie has with her mother. Like all mother's, Bonnie's wanted her to be adventurous and explore her world. But, as in real life, there are always dangers to be aware of.
This book is beautifully illustrated by Carey A. Norby and we hope it is the first of many for her.

Touch therapy is the oldest and finest modality of healing on this planet. It treats the cause of an illness. This is one book that should remain on the market especially now with Reiki and Touch Therapy being used by more and more professionals, even in hospital settings. Patients should have the opportunity to understand that there is real hope, not traditional hopelessness. I am thankful that Ruth Montgomery wrote Born to Heal. I have been using this approach for 25 years and I have seen what it can do.

Rutherford Montgomerie is always a good read. Yellow Eyes, the story of a Cougar is his best in my opinion, but Broken Fang is also excellent. The action is nonstop and the descriptions are great. Broken Fang and Yellow Eyes are the only two of his books I own, and they never get dusty on my shelf. The plot is compelling and the characters intriguing, even though they are mostly wild animals. Montgomery is one of the few nature tales authors who can really describe the mentality of an animal in a way that somehow seems to jibe with reality. These books got me hooked on reading, and I'm sure I will read them many times more.

The title of this Gervase Fen mystery is dredged from English folklore: "Buried on Monday, buried for health, /Buried on Tuesday, buried for wealth; /Buried on Wednesday, buried at leisure, /Buried on Thursday, buried for pleasure; /Buried on Friday, buried for fun, /Buried on Saturday, buried at one; /Buried on Sunday after eleven, /You get the priest and you go to heaven."

A more macabre folk jingle than, say "Monday's child is fair of face..." but appropriate for a murder mystery that our detective-don solves while standing for Parliament in rural England.

Along with the eccentric detective Gervase Fen, Professor of English Language and Literature in the University of Oxford, Edmund Crispin also features one of his eccentric animals in "Buried for Pleasure." This time it is a 'non-doing' pig that falls in love with the village's pub manager.

The plot also works in that most obvious of red herrings: an escaped lunatic who believes himself to be President Woodrow Wilson. His normal mode of dress is a pince nez, and he must be the only lunatic in literature who declares, as he is captured and led away, "I warn you that if my Fourteen Points are not adopted, Western Europe will be at war again within a decade." Since "Buried for Pleasure" takes place in 1949, his prophecy was correct, although tardy.

We never do find out exactly why Fen is standing for Parliament. One of the other characters challenges him to explain his motives:

"'Well, what on earth...I mean, why are you standing for Parliament? What put the idea into your head?'

"Even to himself Fen's actions were sometimes unaccountable, and he could think of no very convincing reply.

"'It is my wish,' he said sanctimoniously, 'to serve the community.'

"The girl eyed him dubiously.

"'Or at least," he amended, 'that is one of my motives. Besides, I felt I was getting far too restricted in my interests. Have you ever produced a definitive edition of Langland?'

"'Of course not,' she said crossly.

"'I have. I've just finished producing one. It has queer psychological effects. You begin to wonder if you're mad. And the only remedy for that is a complete change of occupation.'"

Read this book not so much for the mystery, but for Fen's final campaign speech when he decides that he doesn't want to get elected after all.

As for the mystery, Crispin ties all of his loose ends together in a climactic automobile chase that involves the lunatic who thinks he's President Wilson, the Cockney pub manager and her non-doing pig, the murderer, a candidate for Parliament, and the rector who is plagued by a poltergeist.

And the poltergeist.

"Buried for Pleasure" is vintage Crispin.

I loved this book, very very good. It's about a guy named Charlie who catches a palomino Mustang stallion named Golden Boy. Exciting, and hard to put down.

I read this book repeatedly since my 4th grade. I learned much from the carcajou: although he looked clumsy he had a great stamina in walking and he was afraid of noone. Later on I also paid more attention to other characters in the story: two Native American trappers, two white traders and of course many other animals who all consider carcajou the boss.
This book is easy to read and you will read it at once, but will return repeatedly. This is not a fable, animals act like real animals and people act like real people. But you will see that nature, as it is, has many tricks in its sleeve.

I first read this book in Junior High school in Minnesota. I really enjoyed the story and found myself cheering for the Wolverine who was the main character. The title "carcajou" is the Indian word for the wolverine meaning "Devil". This clever and most powerful animal on the planet (based on his size) captivated my mind completely.

For the last forty plus years since reading this outstanding book the wolverine has been my "animal of choice". I checked the book out at the school library several times while I was there.

For the past few years I have tried to purchase this outstanding book on-line for my kids to read but was disapointed to discover that it is no longer in print. Now (tonight) I found out that there is going to be another printing that will be out in December of 2000. I can hardly wait to see my children reading this book.

If you can remember Disney before cable TV and the wonderful shows they had that followed an animal from birth throughout it's life, then you have an inkling of how this book is written. I recommend this book for any child over the age of ten. Parents will love to read this book to their children - I can envision several nights of complete attention from kids as their parents unfold this charming story at bedtime.

This is an excellent book containing clear and concise information on cardiovascular diseases. A must have for any telemetry unit or coronary care nurse. The outcome measures are a valuable tool when writing care plans.

I've read this book at my library and I could hardly stand to give it back!
