And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand-in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. ![]() In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. "Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design.

Younger children may initially struggle with Mr Pratchett’s unusual style, but once they get to grips with the humour, this will be a laugh-a-minute for both kids and their parents. Terry Pratchett has created a wonderful, old-fashioned tale where the subtle morals and lessons never hinder the action. ![]() It’s also full of cute little ideas: the mice take their names from cans and packets lying in rubbish dumps, so we have heroes called “Big Savings” and “Best Before”. This is a fresh and funny adventure story that allows Pratchett to make free use of his immense comic talents (the talking rats are easily some of his most hilarious creations). Maurice and his mice realise they are about to be caught in the middle of something rather bad. It’s a scam that works perfectly… until they arrive in the town of Bad Blintz and their ruse is sussed by the young girl Malicia. ![]() Keith, in cahoots with Maurice, turns up with his flute and leads the rats out of town–a hefty reward in tow. Maurice is a talking cat who leads a band of rather special rats from town to town to fake invasions of vermin. Terry Pratchett returns to children’s stories and to his infamous Discworld with Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, a clever spin on the Pied Piper fairytale with a lavish sprinkling of the Practchett magic. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was headstrong, fearless, and unsure of her place in life. Raised by her father, Caroline wasn't afraid to get down and dirty and would do anything to protect her home. The plot is your basic political betrayal, but it pulled from a lot of other happenings in the Song of the Current world which I'm eagerly awaiting to learn more about in the sequel.Ĭharacters: Be still my heart Caro was everything and I wanted and more. ![]() From the start, you could tell that Song of the Current was going to be a non-stop adventure. I have written words and deleted words multiple times and looked up synonyms for "great." No matter what I say, it won't truly describe how much I loved this book. Unexpectedly, Caro found herself with unlikely allies and a key player in a political scheme. ![]() Her plans went to hell when she was forced to deliver a package to a neighboring kingdom and deal with a boy who clearly had never set foot on a boat. Plot: Caro had her future all outlined, she would inherit the family boat and live her days on the river like a true wherryman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Google Podcasts, and other podcast apps or listen here and at Sound Cloud.
![]() ![]() ![]() In 2020, a copy sold for nearly $10 million, making the Folio the world’s most expensive work of literature. Today, editions of the text fetch far higher prices. The pope, the actors realized, had mistakenly accepted the Folio as a gift.Īfter some behind-the-scenes diplomacy, the company retrieved the book-then worth an estimated $60,000-from the Vatican. “It will make a beautiful memento for this occasion,” he said, passing the volume to an aide, who promptly vanished. Macbeth is among the 18 plays that would have been lost to history without the Folio. Paul, who didn’t hear her request, misread the situation. Would the pontiff be willing to bless the book, she asked? This particular volume belonged to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Tutin had carried it with her to the Vatican in preparation for this moment. When three Shakespearean actors performed at the Vatican in 1964, the stakes were high: Among the 2,000 observers packed into the auditorium were cardinals, dignitaries and even Pope Paul VI, who looked on from a raised chair.Īfter the show, one of the actors, Dorothy Tutin, approached the pope clutching a rare copy of William Shakespeare’s First Folio, the earliest collection of the Bard’s plays ever published. ![]() |
