Many authors have tried to write the next series to replace Harry Potter and failed. They are signed, lined, dated and doodled or have a stamp illustration by Brian Williams. These books are stunning the cover have holographic foil effect. This book hasg rave reviews and the famous Barry Cunningham who discovered Harry Potter by J K Rowling is backing it. ![]() Available now a full set of the long awaited Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams. ![]() ![]() Two thirds of its text and all but one of its characters survive from The Wood Demon, a play he wrote in the summer of 1889 and which he never published (a hundred or so lithograph copies of the manuscript circulated in the provinces it was printed in 1911, seven years after Chekhov’s death). Uncle Vanya has a history almost unique in the annals of the theatre: it is a triumph refashioned from a disaster. ![]() ![]() ![]() Above all, Uncle Vanya’s 1899 performance in Moscow Arts Theatre established Chekhov as Russia’s – even Europe’s – leading dramatist, overthrowing the opinion (still current among the more snobbish denizens of St Petersburg) that Chekhov was a magnificent story writer whose plays dupe a gullible public into thinking him a good dramatist. Of all Chekhov’s plays, it is the most economical (just nine speaking parts, and a running time rarely much over 90 minutes) never before had he blended humour (albeit black) with tragedy (in the sense of Russian toska, longing for something you can never have) never had he so subtly integrated his own ideas about the destruction of youth by age, of nature by humanity, into the views of his characters. Uncle Vanya was the first major Chekhov drama which was received to the author’s satisfaction. Until 1899, every time a play by Chekhov – Ivanov, The Wood Demon or The Seagull – opened in Moscow or St Petersburg, the reception by actors, audience and critics was so traumatic for the author that he immediately took a train to the other city. ![]() ![]() ![]() until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.ĭesperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. I know, who am I rooting for – the blonde once again?įor as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings. I’m so ready for her character growth and for her to fall for a certain blonde psychopath. ![]() ![]() I think her priorities are changing, though, and it seems like she’ll be driven by other factors moving forward. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars for me is because Evangeline, while a strong and an admirable FMC, lacks the motivation I would have liked to see. It’s hard to explain, just read this if you haven’t yet and you’ll totally get it. It is definitely the fairytale feelings that had me so mesmerized. and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I love the Magnificent North and how whimsical everything is. It is so magical, and I never wanted to put it down. This book has all the perfect fairytale vibes. I already loved him, but this strengthened that love immensely.

![]() He seems to have adapted to Robin’s previous role as their leader and he does it perfectly. Adam exudes a cocky confidence while still showcasing his responsibility for The Merry Men. ‘You’re stronger than the whole bleeding lot of them. “These men don’t deserve your fear, Isabelle,’ he said, brushing his thumb across her cheekbone. It’s incredibly easy to follow, there’s tons of character development across many characters, and this features a main character who’s the best of both of her parents as she’s stubborn like her mother and strong like her father. This is a story about loyalty, justice, and heart. It ushered in a new perspective of how Robin’s actions have affected the lives of his beloved village years later. She is a main character who isn’t great at everything and I found that refreshing, plus her development throughout the plot was substantial. ![]() ![]() She had to learn quick how the real world worked and she adapted the best she could. I found this take on the subject of Robin Hood a unique perspective on the legend because I haven’t seen a plot that centres around a less than confident female lead like Isabelle. ![]() ![]() I fell in love with the idea that Robin of Locksley and Lady Marien got their happy ever after (well sort of) and as a result got to see the next generation of protectors of Sherwood Forest. I have loved every Robin Hood inspired YA novel that I’ve read and Hood by Jenny Elder Moke is no exception. ![]() ![]() ![]() When dark treachery and vicious power struggles threaten her hard-won freedom, the only thing that might help the girl known as Victrix save herself and her sisters is a tribe of long-forgotten mythic Amazon warriors.
