Finale not to be missed
Karen Hancock's final book is spellbinding and a fitting end to this wonderful fantasy/allegorical series. The faith and love of Abramm, Maddie and Trap are tested more than ever before and their responses are genuine and heartfelt. The reader has little difficulty imagining the land, the people and the intricate politics of the warring countries as Karen's writing is of the highest calibre. The ...

Fans of Meg Cabot are treated to a change in style by the author. Paired with artist Jinky Coronado, Ms. Cabot retells AVALON HIGH in a comic/manga style. Readers do not have to have read AVALON HIGH to follow this new version of the story. Elle Harrison has just moved to Annapolis with her history buff parents. Almost immediately weird things start to happen. Her history teacher, Mr. Morton, ...

Coronation: From the 8th to the 21st Century

HarperCollins UK, 2007

Everything you've EVER wanted to know!
Quite a hefty tome, just chalk full of information, details, reasonings, changes in the ceremony (and why), and full of life with the different offices and personalities which take place in a coronation. This book is not for the faint of heart...or if you have a light lap. It is to be savored and lugged from room to room as you go about your day. While rich, it is easily read and you won't ...

FROM THE BOOK...
The Stone of Destiny traced -- presentation of the cumulative evidence which reveals the fate of the Bible's most famous stone. The scriptures are full of references to "stones", both literal and symbolic. One such stone is identified as the stone upon which the patriarch Jacob rested his head when he dreamed of the heavenly ladder. This stone has not received the attention it deserves from ...

Wow!
This is one of the books by Karen Hancock in a four part series. I didn't think it could get any better after the other one but I was wrong. I couldn't seem to put this book down.

Her Death Was Not In Vain!!!
Lady Jane Grey's life was anything but normal. At a very young age, she was sent to court to be a lady-in-waiting to Catherine Parr, last Queen of Henry VIII. There, she became very close to Catherine and learned of the Reformed religion. She also learned the horrors of queenship, and became grateful of the fact she would never become one . . . or so she thought. After the death of Henry ...

Corrie Fans Must get this book
Anyone who is a fan of the British soap opera Coronation Street must get this book. It includes a complete history of the show from the premier up to the shows in 2000. I have only gotten to see the show sparingly due to it not being broadcast in the states but it is a must have for any corrie fan

Mozart concerto minus one
Very well done. It would be even better if one of the two listening tracks (the complete piano and orchestra versions) did not have the timing beats which can sometimes be annoying.

Coronation of Haile Selassie, The

Evelyn Waugh

Penguin Books Ltd, 2005

Almost Satyrical Press Report
This booklet, containing 57 small pages, written in 1931, is a somewhat longer covering of the coronation festivities of H.I.M. Haile Selassie-I of Ethiopia and the days preceding the event of contemporary international interest. The author makes fun of the procedings, but RastafarI do not need to get alarmed for any blasphemous or disrespectfull treatment. The Western press correspondent ...

The History Press, 2002

And now for something slightly different
If you're looking for something beyond the usual royal biographies, or as a companion to UK history, this could be it. Here's the lowdown on 1000 years of coronations stretching back to the crowning by St Dunstan of the Saxon King Edgar in Bath Abbey in 973 - which, incidentally, provided some of the words still used today - to the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. Nice bite-sized ...

Moyer Bell, 1999

Not One of Thirkell's Best Efforts
Angela Thirkell's Barsetshire series includes some of my favorite and most often reread books, but this is not one of them. Many of the characters are ones who appeared in "Northbridge Rectory," and the situations in this book are often rehashes of situations from that book set several years later in time ("Northbridge Rectory" takes place during World War II, and this book takes place in ...
