![]() That makes this particular work more of a filler chapter, adding in backstory to an existing tale rather than offering a complete and autonomous one. ![]() It's a prequel to His Dark Materials, but the next instalment of Pullman's new Book of Dust trilogy, The Secret Commonwealth, is a sequel instead, and the third volume has yet to appear. ![]() In fairness to Hytner, and to adaptor Bryony Lavery, La Belle Sauvage is a tricky proposition. Unfortunately, it falls short of conjuring that same magic. So, it's easy to understand the thinking behind this adaptation of Pullman's latest addition to the series at Hytner's new home - the Bridge Theatre. Almost 20 years ago, Nicholas Hytner brought Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy to the stage in a memorable two-part production at the National Theatre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Again and again-at home, at school, on TV, everywhere-we heard and saw version after version after version of this poem until it became part of us. All the silly parodies we’ve heard over the years. However the poem came to be, I grew up with it, and likely so did you. ![]() In either history, Moore only acknowledged authorship when his children, who loved the poem, requested he include it in his 1844 anthology. ![]() Apparently, 190 years hasn’t changed all that much. Or, in another history, Professor Moore was an erudite and serious academic, and was worried that such a light-hearted piece would reflect poorly on him in the academic culture of the time. A retelling and reshaping of many old tales into one unified narrative for the ages. Nicholas,” the versified story of Christmas that gave America a good portion of its holiday folklore, was intended to be a gift. When Clement Clarke Moore wrote this poem in 1823-a poem once called “arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American 1”-he published it anonymously. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am very grateful to the publisher, Viper Books, for providing me with an advance proof of the book for the purpose of review.

Some projects are focusing on individual divinities or religious groups, such as the Isiac cults, Mithras or early Christian communities. Although there are monumental projects focusing on mapping Roman sanctuaries and religious sites in Gallia, Italy or Germaniae, none of these projects has a digital map yet. When it comes to Roman religion however, we are in a pretty bad situation. There are fantastic maps focusing on global maps of the Graeco-Roman world, epigraphic material of the empire, the Roman cities and settlements, a map which compares ancient and medieval Europe, the terra sigillata production sites, the amphorae and other pottery production sites, Roman economy and their sites and the Roman roads and networks. ![]() Numerous big projects focusing on Roman history are using already this surface to present their database also in form of maps, which help us to understand many specific details and local particularities of provinces or larger entities within the Roman Empire and beyond. Maps are the best tools for visualising big data, especially in the age of Google Maps and modern network studies. ![]() ![]() ![]() One day, an old, brown, dirty, ragged seamen with a sabre cut on his cheek, arrives at the inn and satisfied that the inn contains few people, throws down some gold money and stays for several months.

I give Curious Minds 4 Stars out of 5 and a Big Thumbs Up! I think that Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton have another winner. The characters were fun and the action was fast. They have some of that classic Evanovich heat going on between them too, but we have to wait until the next book to really see where that goes.Ĭurious Minds had me engaged. Riley is a fiery redhead from Texas and once she lets loose, you better not be in her way.īut Emerson and Riley work well together. She is nearly the exact opposite of Lizzy. ![]() ![]() I’m not saying that the characters are much alike, just that I get the same feeling.Įmerson Knight doesn’t have any of the same mystical powers that Diesel has, but, then again, there might be a little something going on there, and Riley Moon is not anything like Lizzy. I got the same vibe from this book as I had when I read some of the Lizzy and Diesel books. Curious Minds is the beginning of what promises to be another fun one. I have enjoyed reading all of their collaborative series. Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton make a good writing team. ![]() |
