Reynolds Price is a magician with a pen. He is one of the last true poets of our generation. RP uses so few words to bring us closer to his world, his emotions. All who read this collection will understand that we make a mark on life as skates make a mark on ice.

this man is an excellent artist. he has his own style of painting, and that's what like most about him. i have two of his drawings in my house. they just bring out my whole house.

The LetterFun ABC Book is a great way to engage children and their imagination. Our children wanted to read the book, create and write new words, new stories and draw their own picture for their own new book. It was amazing!

Plus I noticed on the cover the book is by Eleanor Davenport Reynolds, Elissa and Evan's Mom. I thought that was very special.

Thank you Eleanor for the LetterFun ABC Book

As Baroness P. D. James states in her preface to this engrossing book, "we have what is in effect an epistolary autobiography" of the young Dorothy L. Sayers, from age five to forty-three, when the author became the household word that she is today. (Later letters comprise volume two.)

The earliest letters are sprinkled with references to poems, plays or short stories that she had written, in any-or all-of the four languages at her command (English, French, German and Latin.) She fell madly in love with the theatre, not to mention the leading men of the era. Before she reached the age of thirteen, she had read (in the original French) The Three Musketeers, and from that time on, referred to her familiy and assorted locations by their assigned names from the book. She took for herself the identity of Athos. At eighteen, her headmistress announced that Dorothy had come top in all England in the Cambridge Higher Local Examinations with distinction in French and spoken German. The following year she entered Somerville College at Oxford.

Men as men didn't enter her life until she had completed Oxford. She fell in love only once, but they couldn't marry due to multiple differences in values. Subsequently, she had a short-lived affair with another man, who was the father of her only child, a son raised by Dorothy's cousin. Their roles were reversed in the boy's life; the cousin was his 'Mum' and Dorothy his aunt. Not until after her death did the truth come out.

These letters bring to vivid life the enigma who was known world-wide as the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey, the perfect foil. She couldn't afford a luxurious flat, a Daimler, or an Axminster carpet; she could, however, provide them for Lord Peter. She made him and his family and his possessions incredibly real for her millions of readers.

Any devotee of Lord Peter Wimsey will be exceedingly grateful to Barbara Reynolds for her years of loving care in sorting through and editing these letters of one of the world's great novelists. We can but wait-patiently-for volume two, in order to learn how Dorothy wore her hard-earned and well-deserved fame.

Dorothy L Sayers was much more than a writer of detective novels. From the late 1930's until her death, she was also in great demand as a writer and speaker on religious issues. She wrote a series of radio plays on the life of Christ called "The man born to be king", and the sensation caused by these made her into an instant "expert" on religion in the eyes of the public and the media of the day. The letters dealing with the writing and production of the plays are fascinating. The uproar caused by an actor portraying Jesus was unbelievable (Christ hadn't been portrayed on stage since Oliver Cromwell's time), and Sayers was accused of blasphemy because she used everyday language instead of only the words of the Bible. There's very little about her detective novels in this volume of letters, but I still found them full of interesting insights into the life of a writer. Sayers' very distinctive voice comes through, and her letters to friends are lots of fun. Her joy at receiving a lemon as a present during the war (unobtainable due to rationing) is wonderful, as are her discussions with her husband on the best way to use this treasure. A fascinating collection of letters from one of my favourite writers.

Lewis & Clark: From The Rockies To The Pacific is a gorgeously illustrated, in-depth account of the famous explorers' journey through the American West. The stunningly beautiful, full-color photography by Robert M. Reynolds of natural landscapes that Lewis and Clark traveled through, are presented side-by-side with a detailed reconstruction by Stephen Dow Beckham of the Lewis & Clark expeditionary journey that often quotes the travelers' journals. Lewis & Clark is an attractive, highly recommended coffee-table book for home, school, and community library American History collections.

Mr. Wagner's epic tale of the Hero. An Archetype hero soul is reborn into an average man who cannot find anything to believe in. To tell to much is to spoil it. Suffice it to say I have read mine until they are dog eared.
