F. Van Wyck Mason's book, "The Young Titan", ranks right up there with Edison Marshall, Kenneth Roberts, John Jennings, and Dale Van Every's historical fiction for his skill in portraying early New England life prior to and during the American Revolution. I actually learned more about the history of that period from their books than I ever did in high school, or from the text books. These books are especially interesting for those of us who live where so much of the history behind these stories actually took place.

As I searched through the books of historical fiction, I came across this old favorite. Set during the French & Indian War, or the War of the Austrian Succession as it was known in Europe, this book vivdly illustrates the differences between the Old and the New World. The seeds of rebellion are firmly planted among the colonials on both sides of the conflict. Great characters, royal spies and savage Indians led by Europeans gone native, drive the story as the English drive the French from North America. There are no lame skirmishes led by incompetent American Colonels ... just lots of intrigue and adventure culminating in the Battle of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, the French stronghold guarding the St. Lawrence river, the gateway to Quebec. This book is part Last of the Mohicans, part Northwest Passage, but with a contemporary pace. Anyone who loves American History and adventure stories will love this. Its really unfortunate that it's out-of-print. Hopefully, some publisher will rediscover this so a whole new generation can enjoy it.

A Wonderful book. Great book to teach young children how to read

Similar to Bennett's BEFORE THE MAYFLOWER, Clifford Mason's work dives into the rich history of African-Americans in such an intelligent, engaging way, that you almost forget that each and every chapter really happened to black people. It's perfect for those who are interested in learning about both the well-known and the not-so-famous champions of black civil rights. I personally loved reading so much about Ida B. Wells, one of the earliest known champions of black civil rights. With Mason's in-depth coverage of black history and his mastery of prose, this book will definitely become a great work in its own right. THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN BOOKSHELF is an important step towards creating a true BLACK CANON IN LITERATURE!

If you are interested in native American basketry, this book will be part of the backbone of your library. Originally published in 1904 as two volumes, when Dover published it, they were bound as one. As a Dover publication, it is, of course, an excellent value--I only wish it were available in hardcover. It has 460 wonderful old photographs and clear line drawings. Mr. Mason was a product of his times and his writing unfortunately reflects an often maddening white male superiority, however his scholarship and clear admiration of the craft, the baskets and their makers mitigates that fault. A must-have book.

This book is very easy to read. Each page is comprised of one or several thought-provoking questions or statements. Each reader attacks this book with their own point of view. Mason provides the canvas, the reader supplies the paints, brushes, and final work. Excellent self-help tool. Recommend highly. Both inspirational and self reflecting. Before you read another self help or how to, read this and find out where your head really is. This book is essential to know where to start, then move to another book to reinforce, and end up well rounded.

This book details every operation that took place during the 1940 Battle of Britain. Not only the British operation but also the view from the German side. It lists the fate of every aircraft that did not return or received damage. The detail is stunning with a list of operations for that day and a full list of all participants in the Battle. It also lists the know fate of the aircraft. ie where they were lost, and of all the crews. I have read on this subject extensivly and this is the definative book.

I bought this book after going to the museum exhibit which it documents. The book is full of useful information about Santeria/Orisha theology and philosophy. The pictures are beautiful. It is worth buying if you have an interest in Regla de Ocha or Yoruba religion and art.

My interest in Irish theatre brought me to this book. What a find! A fascinating look at a fascinating actor. The author brings alive the work and times of MacGowran. A well-researched and thorough work recommended for any student of theatre. I was especially impressed with the variety of interview subjects. Made me do a search for MacGowran's available work on video. While not a big fan of Beckett, I was impressed by the relationship between the playwright and this ultimate interpreter of his works.

I really enjoyed this auto-biography by James Mason. It is very interesting to read and well written. The actor writes very well about his life. The book includes some drawings by him as well. It's a book well worth reading for any James Mason fan.
