![]() ![]() Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast series (1946-1959), if you’ve never read it, is a dense literary labyrinth that makes A Game of Thrones and its sequels look downright old-fashioned. However, judging by the first book in the series, Black Leopard, Red Wolf, another apt comparison, especially when it comes to style and structure, might be “an African Gormenghast.” I understand why Marlon James calls his new trilogy “an African Game of Thrones” - it builds the right expectations for an epic fantasy with dozens of characters spread across warring kingdoms.

At the heart of Susan Jeffers's exquisite picture book lies the idea that in her imagination, a child can journey anywhere and do anything - even fly through the stars on her very own pony. One other thing that I have noticed about the illustrations is that the author does go out of her way to allow each announced color to have its spotlight. Yet at the same time each illustration used in a series keeps for the most part the same cast of characters while it is enjoyable to see their reactions as the pages flip. The book is a bit outdated so the drawings are whimsical, skilled and yet at times missing the brightness or solidity of colors one thinks. Fortunately due to age and the decline of the actual lullaby I was able to find it for a quick read. Instead while reading "My Pony" I noticed that the author had a similar titled book while was curious about it. ![]() There is a Golden book that explores the same lullaby that has gorgeous pictures and has influenced me unlike most of the other type of books yet I cannot find it. ![]() ![]() ![]() No one reading her books will ever be the same again." - Debbie Macomber "As we 'watch' Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. ![]() Includes discussion questions suitable for individual use or group discussions "Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way.
