    Brown revisit Corgi Cottage, this time taking us inside to watch Tasha create the handmade items that are an integral part of her legendary nineteenth-century lifestyle. Surrounded by authentic American antiques and collectibles and using original tools and almost forgotten techniques, Tasha spins flax, dyes wool, and weaves on one of her seven looms. With the help of friends, she dips candles, makes soap, and concocts herbal creams and lotions. She harvests wood for making baskets and fruit for canning, presses cider, and dries herbs and flowers. Her Nubian goats supply her with milk for cheese and butter. Her bantam hens offer eggs for cooking and decorating. Stray feathers from her guinea hens end up as part of her toy owls. Her rambling cottage has its own marionette theatre and a built-in dollhouse, and all of the puppets and the dollhouse inhabitants were made by Tasha. Whether Tasha is crocheting a piece of lace to edge her petticoat, sewing a dress copied from an 1830s pattern, knitting intricately designed mittens and socks, or working on a quilt, her hands are never idle. For this book, she has created a series of new paintings in the style that has made her one of America’s best-loved children’s book illustrators.

    Perhaps you have in mind the beautiful lords and ladies of the round table. Or maybe you think of the Quest for the Holy Grail. Perhaps you think of the early Celtic legends about him. Whatever you associate with the stories that surround this legendary king, you are sure to agree that these myths have fascinated Westerners for up to 1500 years.The Tarot has been popular for only half that time, but it, too, has caught the fascination of people in the West. Now you can see how easily these two spiritual paths can be combined thanks to Anna-Marie Ferguson's A Keeper of Words. Although designed to accompany and enhance her Legend Tarot deck (available separately), this book is also a great way to get to the core of both the Arthurian myths and legends and the Tarot. The book is based upon Ferguson's amazing seventy-eight watercolor Legend illustrations (all are reproduced here in black-and-white). Each of the Tarot cards is associated with an event or person in the Arthurian legends. By combining the two you will have a new perspective on the Tarot and a deeper understanding of the mythic symbolism of the tales of King Arthur.For example, the book associates the Major Arcana card the Hierophant with Taliesin. The image shows Taliesin introducing children to his lady, the harp. You will learn that Taliesin encourages questions from all and fosters their creative, artistic talents. Thus, the meaning of the card is A person with experience he or she is willing to share. An authority. A kind and generous mentor who nurtures spiritual awareness. Reversed it means Rigid thinking with no room for growth.The description and symbolism for this and all seventy-eight images, as well as the meanings of the images in a Tarot reading, go into far more detail. In this way your readings become deeper, more intuitive and multilayered.For anyone interested in the Tarot (especially the Legend Tarot), or King Arthur, this book is a must.

    The questions come from university professors, schoolchildren, word-game enthusiasts, translators, historians, and monks--from people who have come across obscure words in an old will or in an ancient recipe book, or who havehad their curiosity piqued by one of the thousands of oddities attendant on our language. In Questions of English, Jeremy Marshall and Mrs. Fred McDonald have gathered some of the most curious and enlightening questions that OWLS has fielded, in a volume that will fascinate word lovers everywhere. The topics range from the mundane to the exotic, from common questions of punctuation orpronunciation (why, for instance, is the River Thames pronounced temz?), to queries about bizarre words and neologisms (such as nephelococcygeal, which means of or related to Cloud-Cuckoo-Land). Logophiles are in their element here, with fascinating discussions of obscure words as well asintriguing facts about the familiar. We learn, for instance, that the political term Tory was originally an insulting nickname (probably related to the Irish word for thief), as were the terms Whig, Quaker, and Methodist. The editors tell us that the word gopher comes from the Frenchgaufre or honeycomb (because the gopher's burrows honeycombed the ground) and that zimbabwe is an African word meaning walled grave, a name given to the numerous ruined medieval settlements found in the state of Zimbabwe. And we discover that the plural of octopus should perhaps beoctopodes (octopi comes from the mistaken idea that octopus is a Latin word; it's actually a Latinized form of the Greek oktopous, whose plural is oktopodes), but either octopi or octopuses are considered correct. In addition, the Owls puzzle over many spurious etymologies, such as for thewords posh (which probably does not stand for Port Out Starboard Home), quiz, snob, or OK, and they provide a brief discussion of British and American English, which covers pronunciation (we say tomado, they say tomato), spelling, and vocabulary (in America, mean means nasty, while inBritain it means cheap). A joy for any lover of language, Questions of English brings the language to life with bright and often irreverent style. It is a browser's goldmine, packed with fascinating and useful facts about our native tongue.
