Travers creator of the classic Mary Poppins stories is an event, and "Friend Monkey" has for a long time been eagerly awaited. ***"Who is Monkey?" One might as well ask, "What is the wind?" for Monkey is the kind of character that cannot be explained except in terms of the book he inhabits. The story tells of his departure from the jungle, his arrival in England in 1897, the people he befriends - Mr. Linnet, Miss Brown-Potter, the one and only Professor McWhirter, Louis the cockatoo - and what happens to them as a result of this befriending. ***"You could say," says P. L. Travers, "that the book is the result of a long brooding on the idea of Hanuman, the monkey lord of the Hindu myths, who could never do anything by halves." But this monkey is anything but a myth. He is utterly tangible and real, and the story, with its masterly mixture of fact and imagination, sweeps us through a series of adventures to a conclusion as inevitable as it is unexpected. Funny and touching by turns, full of disciplined wit and wisdom, the book is a commentary, at once wry and poetic, on the verb "to love". It is not only a book for children but for all ages.'

Her father was the Guyanese writer Jan Carew. Lisa St Aubin de Terán was born in 1953 (to Joan Mary Murray and Jan Carew) and brought up in Clapham in South London. She attended James Allen's Girls' School. Her memoir, "Hacienda" (1998), describes how she fell into a whirlwind first marriage to an exiled Venezuelan landowner, Jaime Terán, and lived for seven years at a remote farm in the Andean region of Venezuela. Her second husband was the Scottish poet and novelist George MacBeth. In 1982 she published her first novel, "Keepers of the House", winning the Somerset Maugham Award and a place on Granta's "Best of Young British Novelists" list (1983, issue #7). "The Slow Train to Milan", winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, followed in 1983. In the same year she moved to Wiggenhall St. Mary Magdalen in Norfolk. After her second marriage ended she returned to live in Italy. (Wiki) ***'The novels of Lisa St Aubin de Terán have established her as a writer of astonishing narrative skill and imaginative power. In 1983 she received an Eric Gregory Award for Poetry, although this is her first published collection. In "The High Place", she reveals a voice of rich and vibrant resonance. The poems are tributes to the workers on the Hacienda El Hatico - the High Place - near the village of Mendoza Fria in Venezuela. Like the turning of the mill-wheel, the years of toil for generations of peasants and the undulations of the land, the rhythm of this poetry is inexorable' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition. One of Lisa St Aubin de Terán's harder to find first editions, and her only book of poetry. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

He studied the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain and developed a style emphasizing the use of satire. His English-language works utilize primarily Afrikaner characters and highlight the many contradictions in Afrikaner society during the first half of the twentieth century. In 1926, Bosman visited his family in Johannesburg and, during an argument, he shot and killed his stepbrother. Bosman was sentenced to death for the crime and was sent to Death Row at the Pretoria Central Prison. His sentence was later reduced to ten years with hard labour. In 1930, he was released on parole after serving half his sentence. His prison experiences formed the basis for his semi-autobiographical book, "Cold Stone Jug". Only three of his books were published during his lifetime: "Mafeking Road" published by Dassie, and "Jacaranda in the Night" and "Cold Stone Jug" published by APB. "Mafeking Road" has never been out of print since its publication in 1947. Because many of his stories were originally published in long-forgotten magazines and journals, there are a number of anthologies by different collators each containing a different selection. His original books have also been published many times by different publishers. [Wiki] ***'Herman Charles Bosman will be remembered as one of South Africa's foremost short story writers, a writer of superb skill in characterisation, narration and command of language. This volume includes four hitherto unpublished Schalk Lourens stories as well as a selection from his two highly praised collections "Mafeking Road" and "Unto Dust". It also contains extracts from "Cold Stone Jug", Bosman's witty and often poignant account of life in a South African prison in the twenties, and a number of his essays from "A Cask of Jerepigo"' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A fourth printing of the true first edition in nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Bork, Charles (Jacket design) (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. x, 227 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Map. Documentation related to this being a signed book laid in. My book Moment of Truth in Iraq is packed with battlefield coverage, including some never-before-published material. The author stated "it will also include more from behind the scenes, as I traveled and up and down the back country to systematically report on the astounding campaign of 2007 to snatch Iraq back from the abyss. Key American and Iraqi commanders who are making it happen in a place most were writing off as a crash site. And many more of the small, telling moments, like the reopening of a Christian church in Doura. Just because our military has averted a disaster does not mean an automatic or easy path to a successful outcome. That's why I titled the book Moment of Truth in Iraq and why I believe that some events that will determine to a large extent the final outcome will occur early in 2008. Now more than ever, when every American is asking what course our country should take in Iraq, it is absolutely vital that we have a voice in the field. Michael Yon (born 1964) is an American writer and photographer. He served in the Special Forces in the early-1980s, and he became a writer in the mid-1990s. He focused on military writing after the invasion of Iraq. Yon has been embedded on numerous occasions with American and British troops in Iraq, most prominently a deployment with the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment (Deuce Four) of the 25th Infantry Division in Mosul, Iraq that ended in September 2005.Yon has had vocal feuds with the United States military hierarchy, and the nature of his reports are also controversial. However, Yon at one time enjoyed "rock star" status among individual soldiers, according to Brian Williams of NBC. Yon's alternative media reporting has been mentioned by numerous mainstream media agencies, and he has won accolades from the 2005, 2007, and 2008 Weblog Awards. In 2008, The New York Times reported that he has spent more time embedded with combat units than any other journalist in Iraq. He shifted the focus of his blogging from Iraq to Afghanistan in August 2008. His work is supported primarily by donations from readers.

There is a contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper. In a dust jacket, attractively designed by Rockwell Kent, with tape repairs and moisture damage to the reverse (not noticeable on the recto of the wrapper). Written by the younger brother of Frank Norris, author of "The Octopus." From the dust jacket- "To Bart and Peggy life was to be different. With youth and love and courage they came to New York. Bart was to write famous novels and Peggy to take care of him. There was no room in their little apartment for babies and no money in the exchequer. But the first baby came and then four others in a disorderly cramped suburban house, for Peggy's religion taught her to believe that any means of contraception were wrong. The debts piled up, the novel faded farther and farther into the future. What was to become of their fine young love that had started out so bravely. "In this drama of the marital lives of an American family clan Charles Norris writes frankly about the most delicate and personal of human relationships and the most absorbing social problem of contemporary life.".
