The lives of this unforgettable family form a searing portrait of twentieth century America. How do you prepare your children for a world you know is cruel?

The Star is an unusual choice for a collection of stories aimed at adults but is so well written and charming it doesn’t matter. Gray leaves us wondering if the boy found a star or just a marble. A teacher finds it and tells the boy he can’t bring marbles to school to play with. The Star is a charming fable about a young boy who sees what he believes to be a star fall to earth and land in his back garden. The collection contains many of Gray’s own impressive illustrations. Gray’s imagination, skill and style as a writer are quite unlike anything I’ve ever come across before. The stories in Unlikely Stories, Mostly remind me of the best bits of Lanark. I’ve wanted to read more of Gray since then. In my humble opinion Lanark is one of the greatest novels ever written. I didn’t think it was my thing and was proven wrong. ![]() ![]() I became a fan of Gray’s when I read his novel Lanark about a year ago after a friend and fellow book worm gave me a spare copy and badgered me to read it.

Reason 1 ![]() ![]() ![]() Today's readers get a sense of the "ur-text" of Leaves of Grass, the first version of this historic volume, before Whitman made many revisions of both format and style. This Anniversary Edition captures the typeface, design and layout of the original edition supervised by Whitman himself. The 1855 edition broke new ground in its relaxed style, which prefigured free verse in its sexual candor in its images of racial bonding and democratic togetherness and in the intensity of its affirmation of the sanctity of the physical world. Everything about it-the unusual jacket and title page, the exuberant preface, the twelve free-flowing, untitled poems embracing every realm of experience-was new. ![]() Ralph Waldo Emerson judged the book "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom America has yet contributed." Nothing like the volume had ever appeared before. The publication of Leaves of Grass in July 1855 was a landmark event in literary history. So begins Leaves of Grass, the first great American poem and indeed, to this day, the greatest and most essentially American poem in all our national literature.

In 1157 the two kings met at Chester where Malcolm did homage for land held in England. ![]() ![]() Malcolm, however, had to deal with the powerful Henry II as his royal neighbour. His grandfather, who had profited from civil unrest south of the Border, had been able to annex Northumbria and Cumbria (including Carlisle) to the Scottish crown. His greatest desire was to obtain a knighthood, which, because of his royal blood, could only be bestowed by another monarch such as the king of England. A believer in chivalric virtues, he was intensely religious and outwardly chaste. Known to history by the soubriquet “The Maiden”, Malcolm may well have had boyish good looks but he appears to have been neither weak nor effeminate. Malcolm’s father and David’s only son, Henry Earl of Northumbria, had died in the previous year. Born in 1141, he succeeded to the throne at the tender age of 12 following the death of his grandfather, David I, at Carlisle in May 1153. King Malcolm is the first personage of note to be connected with Innerleithen’s past. The first mention of Innerleithen in historical records concerned a tragedy that occurred over 850 years ago in the reign of Malcolm IV, King of Scots. ![]() |
