Cricket Weather is a collection of poems and prints of the specific. The poems range in subject from music to nature to the study of the human mind, each full of details that engage the reader. Walton's sense of timing and sound in the lines of his poetry is clever and concise. This is a small book of carefully constructed poems that the reader can enjoy on the first read, or with more study, can understand the layers of their construction. I highly recommend it.

As a student of Shakespeare I bought this book to help me understand the connection between Oldcastle and Falstaff. Rittenhouse quotes Holinshed's CHRONICLES and Foxe's ACTS AND MONUMENTS for the historical Lollard who died a martyr's death under Henry V. He gives us the entire play (1 SIR JOHN OLDCASTLE)written in 1599 by four authors who borrowed heavily from Shakespeare. 2 SIR JOHN OLDCASTLE, wherein the bishops insist on his death, was suppressed as too hot a topic in the aftermath of the execution of Essex.

Oldcastle in the play is shown as loyal to Henry V and esteemed by many people of both high and low degree. A follower of Wycliff, he stood for removing the abuses of the Church. Those who benefited from the abuses, the bishops, wanted Henry V to see Oldcastle as disloyal to the crown.

For my purposes in comparing Oldcastle to Falstaff, the book was useful but I need to read about Wycliff and John Florio to complete the picture.

It was originally a doctoral dissertation.

It's about Nancy and her friends who go to the fair. The story is really exciting. You can't put it down. --Zoe, age 7

This book tells about the spiritual conflict that has continued throughout time. It is classified as occult but should be better classified as history or non-fiction. For example it tells us about Adolf Hitler and the fact that he was a member in the OTO established by A. Crowley. He also spoke with such mesmerising oratoracle prowess yet lacked the education to back his speeches. Many believe he was spiritually influenced. The book goes back to basically the beginning of time to present, is extensively cross referenced and researched. It will enlighten even the most sceptic reader to the spiritual good and bad influences that have effected mankinds history. It touches on theories that have not been proven but yet strike a familiar chord that can be easily recognized as very likely such as why is it that in early history there is tales of dragons and the like....but where are they today. One theory states that as mankind has become more advanced the spirits (who can appear as anything such as angels) have become more tactful. It tells of strange coincedences such as recorded accounts of spiritual manifistations being accompanied by strange lights, smell of sulfur, a strange buzzing type of noise. It is also present in a large number of UFO sightings. I could go on and on but you will just have to read it for yourself. If you can find it. I found my copy in Palma, Mallorca but gave it to a person that didn't believe in the after life or angels and demons. Changed her outlook but I never got my book back. (end). Can you also help me locate another copy please. Thank you. Sincerely, Rick E. Bowli

Thjis is a book that deserves to have remained in print. It is the story of an oil tanker casualty off East Africa, the sinking of the ship, the loss into the sea of its oil cargo, and the subsequent enquiry into how it happened, conducted in South Africa. Was it the crew? The owners cost-cutting? Bab builders? Deficient work in drydock? Or freak weather in an area notorious for it?

The drama is kept nicely on the boil with no resort to the ridiculous. The technical content is near-perfect. A first-class read for sea professional, sea novel reader and discerning thriller-addict alike.

Inspector Morse is just one of those detectives that are as highly rated as Hercule Poirot. Morse loves classical music and books and he times himself when when he does the London TImes Crossword. Sergent Lewis is just like Cpt. Hastings in the Hercule Poirot series. I suggest any Inspector Morse books and any Hercule Poirot ones as well.
