The daughter of Evelyn Waugh purrs into this hilarious and deliciously evil fantasy with: ""Once upon a time there was a little girl called Kate."" Four years old and horrid, Kate Brett has been given a large Victorian doll house. And the Twilight Zone-ish gimmick here, freshly filled out with sheer nastiness, is that Kate's unpleasant fantasies about her doll-house's imaginary inhabitants will actually control the fates of the tenants of a certain derelict Netting Hill Gate boarding-house. If, for instance, Kate muses ""someone would be imprisoned in the attic,"" it's likely that the Netting Hill Gate residents will at some point find a child's corpse in their attic. Among the people whose lives come under Kate's whimsical, meanspirited control: middle-aged Robert and Margery MacDougal, who--thanks to Robert's manic-depressive euphoria, have been forced from the Chelsea Good Life to squatter-dom in Netting Hill Gate; black Princess Lily of Mutendere, who's lingering in the slums while waiting for another coup in her country (and the key to her brother's Belgravia apartment); baby-nurse Pearl, who's handily available when Margery, 46, is surprised by pregnancy; and elderly Harold, who attracts the odd passion of Princess Lily--while his stepdaughter Eleanora fights off a bleak adulthood. . . and Pearl's dog Billy turns (thanks to Kate again) into a dragon. Kate allows her marionettes a few jolly household moments: a christening party, a Christmas dinner. She allows Princess Lily to go to the Royal Wedding--while Eleanor goes to a ""Don't do it, Di!"" disco. But then, wonders Kate, what if fireworks set the house afire. . . ! And, in an epilogue, grownup Kate--still awful--views the house with her fiancÃ‰ and realtor. (""Disgusting!"" she says.) Not for those with tender sensibilities or a lack of whimsical imagination--but a gem of social satire twirling within a playfully Pirandello-esque setting.

This book is a photographic retrospective of the wild energy surrounding Telluride, Colorado...most especially the outlaw years of the late 1970's and 1980's, up to the present day. It includes images from the Telluride Bluegrass, Telluride Jazz, Telluride Blues & Brews and Telluride Film Festivals, and many local events reflecting Telluride's outlaw spirit, all captured by Ingrid Lundahl, a Telluride homegrown photographer and writer. It is an art/history/photo/fun book, hard-back, featuring over 500 black-&-white and color photos. "This is a magnificent book, sweeping in its vision of the most beautiful town in America, the magical box canyon where nature perpetually exhibits what Emily Dickinson once called the "far theatricals of day," and where the humans lucky enough to live there (and those smart enough to travel there) convene in some of the most satisfying and meaningful rituals this species is capable of."

Transparency in Philanthropy: An Analysis of Accountability, Fallacy, and Volunteerism

In this publication, you will discover knotting at its highest level; refined work that gives new meaning to the word macramé. You will also see a sophisticated and imaginative sense of design and a subtle use of color. In this labor-intensive, delicate work, Sandy Swirnoff draws on a deep and intuitive creative drive, supported by serious study with well-known teachers. Swirnoff expresses a unique sensibility in this unusual art form and has created settings perfectly in synch with glass jewels by Tiffany, Daume, and Gallé in style, color, refinement, and appropriateness. She has not just rescued art-glass shards. She has given them life as new works of art, synergistically melding the work of two artists, in two mediums, across two centuries-an accomplishment of great skill and inventiveness.

<p>Molly's childhood life was filled with fake farting noises, her own written language, greased pigs and dangerously high levels of chlorine. Not to mention being confused about why people kept referring to Scrabble and Wheel of Fortune as "games." Then, in the matter of a short day in 4th grade, Molly was diagnosed with dyslexia and scoliosis. Enjoy the side up down world. The world upside. The upside down world of Molly. Written in dyslexie, a font designed for readers with dyslexia.</p>
