| First of all, let me say that I was, no pun intended, thoroughly charmed by Mr. Bridger himself. From the whimsical image of him proudly reading the books with the brightly colored covers (as opposed to the more sober "grown-up" covers) to his quite reasonable desire to read the books himself before having a knee-jerk reaction to them, from his playful use of language to his sense of taking things seriously enough to know that you shouldn't take some things too seriously, he reminded me strongly ...

| 184.All Things Oz: The Wonder, Wit, and Wisdom of The Wizard of Oz by: Linda Sunshine October 28, 2003 |

Average Rating:  >>More Details |
 |
|
| Editor Sunshine has provided a wonderful overview volume to the 14 volumes of Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. Each page contains an illustration from the collection of Willard Carroll, many appearing in print in the USA for the first time. So even Oz fanatics like me will find surprises throughout this book. To this graphic delight, Sunshine has selected passages both long and short from Baum's Oz writings that summarize many of the delightful aspects of his fantasy fairyland. Also included are sections called ... Read More: |

| This has to be something straight from the J. Evans Pritchard vault of pseudo lit. Pompous and condescending, it merits no mention and no attention. If you are a HP fan, stay away from this garbage. |

| 186.Critical Perspectives on Harry Potter by: Elizabe Heilman August 05, 2008 |

| Average Rating: >>More Details |
 |
|
| While this book is much better than some Harry Potter books out there, because the articles are scholarly and well-informed, I didn't like it. Most of the articles are written from a sociological or "cultural studies" perspective. If you like that kind of thing, then you will like this volume. If you like psychological, allegorical or symbolic readings, then its not the right book for you. Most of the essays are on broad issues and don't go into the books in great detail. I found the academic scholarship to be very ... Read More: |

| 187.World Historical Fiction: An Annotated Guide to Novels for Adults and Young Adults by: Lynda G. Adamson October 21, 1998 |

Average Rating:  >>More Details |
 |
|
| I found this in my high school library today and loved it so much I just bought a used copy of it. This is an index of most of the historical fiction books published for adults and mature young adults up to 1998. Admittedly, a lot more have been published since then. This is arranged by era and area and has a little blob about each book, the place it takes place in and the year it takes place in. I look forward to using it to find new books. |
