Peter Greenaway

Dis Voir, 1997

A work of art about a work of art, based on art
This is a hard book to review on its own for me, as it is the book of one of my most favourite movies, of the same name. Peter Greenaway set out to make a movie very loosely based on the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, a court lady of the Heian period of Japan. This book contains the script of the movie, along with pictures. But it is more than a movie script, it stands alone as a work of art. It ...

The Genesis Trilogy: And It Was Good, A Stone for a Pillow, Sold Into Egypt

Madeleine L'Engle

Shaw Books, 2001

A conversation with a beloved friend
I have loved Madeleine L'Engle's fiction since my fourth grade teacher read A Wrinkle in Time to the class. Now that I'm older (gasp, almost thirty) I enjoy her non fiction even more. Reading this trilogy is like reading and discussing the book of Genesis with a friend. The author invites you into her life as she reads and reflects on the first book of the Bible. She lets you know the ...

Prayers on My Pillow: Inspiration for Girls on the Threshold of Change

Celia Straus

Ballantine Books, 1999

A Real Source of Comfort and Encouragement for Girls
I purchased this book for 12 and 10 year old daughters. I thought that perhaps we could read a prayer each night as a devotion and that it would give us an opportunity to talk about issues in their lives. It has done that and more. My oldest daughter now refers to it frequently, whenever she needs a lift or a little extra encouragement. I also purchased the sequel and I rate it equally well. ...

Very pleasing patterns, on a scale you can manage
How many of us have more than a few UFOs (unfinished objects) in our cross-stitch collection? This book provides a variety of small patterns that can be finished in a reasonable length of time. Not only are there the mini-cushions of the title; for most of the patterns there are also even smaller pieces - a section of the cushion motif, re-arranged, for example - that can be used as card inserts, ...

excellent for new writing workshop teachers
This book was like a staple to me in my student teaching experience as well as my first year of teaching. It gave great ideas for getting started and it's a great reference for any question any teacher might have about writer's workshop.

Susan Louise Moyer

Watson-Guptill Publications, 1995

Moyer's two books are the best available on silk painting
This is Moyer's second book. You need to understand her first book well before getting this one. But then DEFINITELY get it. Several other silk painting authors have followed a good first book with terrible 2nd and 3rd ones. That is certainly not true of Moyer. This book is every bit as excellent as her wonderful first book.
