It all started with a mysterious and seemingly innocent postcard, but from that point nothing was to remain the same in the life of Griffin Moss, a quiet, solitary artist living in London. His logical, methodical world was suddenly turned upside down by a strangely exotic woman living on a tropical island...
Northhanger Abbey / Persuasion
| Author | Jane Austen |
| ISBN | 1406790001 |
I love this book of Jane's. Persuasion is my second favorite. On further contemplation, I believe Anne Elliot to be a finer lady and character than Dearest, Loveliest Elizabeth Bennett. Anne was persuaded as a young lady, but she would NOT be persuaded in many ways and many situations in her later years....

Who is this animal with the power to neutralize poison, a fatal attraction to maidens, and the mythic ability to enrich the cultures of Asia, Arabia, and Europe? Of all the legendary animals of art, folklore, and literature, the unicorn...
I bought this book for my wife some years ago. She was an artist and very talented. Near the end of her life one of the subjects she was beginning to work with was "fantasy subjects" including faeries. She was (as I said above) very talented and throughout her life as she would pick up different techniques...

Mr. Froud’s fascination and delight with the idea of hidden worlds shine through in this story about a fuzzy, furry creature who gets tossed willy nilly into a quest to rouse a sleeping queen and aid her worried spouse.

[He puesto una versión española en el spoiler.]
I know a hymn, giant and strange, that announces an aurora in the soul’s night; and these pages are from that hymn: cadences which expand in the overshadowed air.
Bécquer is an example of that species of national writers, almost universally...
"Russo Morin skillfully blends historical fiction and fantasy in surprising ways. She draws effortlessly upon influences ranging from Dante to Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the authority of her presentation makes the world she’s created come alive. A wonderfully action-packed ride through the...

How to Draw and Paint Fairies confronts the fairy labor shortage directly, explaining all the techniques needed to bring fairy art to life. For beginners, explanations of basic techniques and easy-to-follow...
3.5 stars. The illustrations are glorious and dreamy (duh- Alan Lee) and well worth getting the book for. The text is very Western European centric and a little disorganized. Sometimes the author tells you the story, sometimes he generalizes about how castles are depicted in certain types of tales,...

I am a big fan of Jane Austen, and have read all of her novels multiple times. So it was a real delight to read this collection of her minor works.

I LOVED THIS BOOK.
And it sounds boring and academic---and it so isn't
It is the journal of an Enlish woman married to a Spanish diplomat to Mexico---after the revolution around 1840.
She writes beautiful and complete descriptions of everything and she is quite funny.
I want to know...
