Best Youth Fantasy Ever

The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel
Diane Setterfield
Washington Square Press
, 2007
A wonderful read
I truly enjoyed this book and found it difficult to put down. The story has characters that slowly build and are finely written. The story is reminiscent of a gothic ghost story and the beauty is that the mystery is doled out in parcels. I appreciated the way that ...

The Thirteenth Tribe
Arthur Koestler
Random House
, 1976
A thought provoking book
Unlike other reviewers I found this to be a very interesting book. Despite being labeled anti-semitic by some reviewers Arthur Koestler was himself of Ashkenazi Jewish descent and proud of it. His book quotes many sources and his thesis should not be dismissed out of ...

Religious Art in France of the Thirteenth Century
Emile Male
Dover Publications
, 2000
Required reading in Catholic aesthetics
If "ressourcement" means anything to you or if you believe the liturgical reforms of Vatican II have yet to be interpreted correctly, then this book is a must-read. The title is deceptively narrow in focus. 13th century France is merely the prism through which Male ...

Countryman

"...An Explorer's Guide" is the tops
"Maine: An Explorer's Guide" was my first purchase in the series. Since then, I have used "Vermont..." and "Maryland...". While perhaps not ideal for novices in a region, they are excellent for one who has some familiarity with the state one is visiting. The ...
