Colby Scholastic Paperbacks, 1940 Any book title is made better by an exclamation point, STRANGELY ENOUGH! As everybody has said here, if you were a kid in the 1960s or 1970s and read this, you remember STRANGELY ENOUGH!, strangely enough! It's like THE POCKET TWILIGHT ZONE. But everyone here had the Scholastic edition, which proclaimed on the cover that it was the (ABRIDGED) version. I find myself wondering how many more stories were in the original, un-abridged, 1959 version. Of course, some ...             Strangely Enough!

I am struck by the other reviews of this important book: The reviewers from the West coast (who are watching the forests fall) give it high marks, while the mid-west reviewers (where the forests fell long ago) are more concerned with the tone of the book. I invite those midwesterners to come visit their western woods while some still remain. Then reread this book and see if you can share some of ...             Robinson Crusoe: The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who Lived ...

This is similar, but also altogether and completely different, yet equally mystifying and unique and brilliant. I found myself very surprised and pleasantly so by the twist in the story, regarding the wealthy stranger who contacts the heroine with his mysterious offer. I related ...             A Heart Strangely Warmed (Louise a. Vernon Historical Fiction Series, 12) Louise A. Vernon Herald Press, 1975 An English boy gains a personal acquaintance with John Wesley whose preachings change his entire life.             On Royalty: A Very Polite Inquiry Into Some Strangely Related Families15 reviews Jeremy Paxman PublicAffairs, 2007 Not gossip,but rather political & social ramifications. This book gives insight on how the Church of England and the government of the U.K. affect the royal family,and how the royals affect general society. There are a few behind the scenes,or below the stairs type tidbits. Overall it was a fine history lesson.             Killed Strangely: The Death of Rebecca Cornell8 reviews Elaine Forman Crane Cornell University Press, 2002 A forgotten murder mystery brought to light after 300 years Killed Strangely: The Death of Rebecca Cornell is a fascinating true murder mystery by a Fordham University professor of history, chock full of early American criminal legends that from a less qualified source one might chalk up as fiction. In a single volume, she touches on two of New England's most infamous murder cases, and a third, the title case, which was strangely forgotten.

This is the best, simple summary of John Wesley's life and beliefs I have seen. It reads like a novel, with plenty of references to Wesley's confrontations with the establishment, his passion and his prolific work springing from his faith. I used this extensively in my doctoral dissertation, and have quoted Lean in my efforts to restore Wesleyan values to United Methodism             On Royalty: A Very Polite Inquiry into Some Strangely Related Families Jeremy Paxman PublicAffairs, 2008 The notable characteristic of the royal families of Europe is that they have so very little of anything remotely resembling true power.
