This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesĬover Impressions: I was not nearly as enamored with this cover as I was with the first. “Not all the water in the rough rude sea/Can wash the balm from an anointed king,” Shakespeare has Richard II claim. No figure in British public life has been as mocked, pilloried and abused as Charles. His attempts to publicise the benefits of eating mutton were less blockbuster than his televised admission, in 1994, of adultery. He’s compared himself to a tampon, and been likened to Arjuna, the mythic hero of the Bhagavad Gita. He’s been called a dabbler and a meddler, a decent watercolourist and an expert plantsman. Yet King Charles, even stacked alongside the other Windsors, really is not most people. It took several decades for him to work this problem out, when, for most people, a visit to a solicitor, a court fee and six months of wrangling might have solved the issue. The King loved one woman, then married another. The story of his first affair with Camilla Parker Bowles is well known. A few months ago I realised that the King of the United Kingdom was having another affair. Fog island by tomi ungerer5/25/2023 You’re scared and thrilled by darkness as a child because you cannot define things, and I think darkness is closer to fantasy than light,” Ungerer once said. “As a child I was fascinated by darkness. They have the foreign but familiar quality of dreams: lurking beneath their strangeness is a deeper sense of recognition. Ungerer’s stories and their illustrations are dark, haunting, and strange, and their oneirism is captivating. They eschew the anodyne didacticism of feel-good classics like Goodnight Moon to take up graver themes: in Fog Island, a pair of children venture onto an island from which no one has returned alive, where the cliffs recall the steep crags in Arnold Böcklin’s The Isle of Death and the rocks have human faces. Ungerer’s “children’s” books are as bleak as the gloomiest adult novel. AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. ArchivesCategories |
