![]() ![]() His quiet attitude and the way he handles the children seem to gain him respect locally. But he likes his landlady, and he evidently does a good job. We don’t learn much about what he does there, or any of the children. ![]() So he travels to Prince Edward Island and takes over the school. But he’s told that the accommodation is good, and the scenery delightful - and he wants a bit of a break before going into the competitive world of business. ![]() He doesn’t expect that he will particularly enjoy teaching in a school. The only person he can think of who is well qualified and able to do the job is Eric - so he asks if he would consider it, just for a term.Įric likes the idea of doing something different, and wants to oblige his friend. But he has been unable to find a replacement. He has been unwell, and has accepted that he must leave his job, at least for some months. The friend has been teaching at a school on Prince Edward Island. But then he receives a letter from an old friend… He comes from a wealthy family, and is planning to go into business with his father. Eric is a young, likeable man who has just graduated from university. The story, unusually for a woman writer of the era, has a man as its main protagonist. The book was first published in 1910 and is set in Canada. I read it in print form in 2006 but had entirely forgotten it. I scrolled through my Kindle collection, and spotted LM Montgomery’s short novel ‘Kilmeny of the Orchard’. I wanted to read something light and not too long on a recent flight. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tittlemouse, The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes, The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, The Story of Miss Moppet, The Tale of Tom Kitten, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies, The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, The Tale of The Pie and The Patty-Pan, The Tale of Mr. The stories inside are- The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, The Tailor of Gloucester, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, The Tale of Mrs. The tales are arranged in the order in which they were first published and a section at the end of the book contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published in her own lifetime. ![]() This complete and unabridged collection contains all 23 of Beatrix Potter's tales in one deluxe volume with all their original illustrations.

I put the word “documentary” in quotation marks when describing D’Souza's film because it isn’t really a documentary at all. The problem is that the rest of America is a total piece of junk. ![]() The actors, especially the rangy, reedy-voiced gentleman who portrays Lincoln, all seem like they know what they’re doing. D’Souza has a fondness for dramatic reenactments of Important Moments in Our History: George Washington charging into battle, Abraham Lincoln debating Stephen Douglas, liberal community organizer Saul Alinsky creepily watching children play from his parked car. The acting isn’t so bad, either, such as it is. I thought for a minute that I had put on my Deadwood DVD by mistake. ![]() I like the way the macho, clanging music pairs with the slow-motion footage of a burly blacksmith forging the letters A-M-E-R-I-C-A in his ember-filled 19th-century shop. Even the recurring shots of D’Souza doing things that are deeply boring to watch-reading a book, staring at a computer, purchasing a hot dog-have a professional sheen that makes them seem dramatic somehow. It’s well-lit, well-filmed, and well-edited. The follow-up to D’Souza's surprise box-office hit 2016: Obama's America-an anti-Obama polemic that earned over $33 million in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election-looks pretty handsome. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While she wishes she could stand up to her bullies, she's always been able to express her feelings through singing and songwriting, even more so with her best friend, Charlie, who is nonbinary, putting together the best beats for her.
