Weeds

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelley, Edith Summers / Bruccoli, Matthew J., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, "Weeds "was published by Harcourt Brace in and also brought out in England by Jonathan Cape. Despite favorable re-views by well-regarded critics the book made no impact, and Edith Summers Kelley never published another novel. Its reprinting here in this innovative series which brought back Zelda Fitz-gerald's "Save Me the Waltz "is in the opin-ion of the publishers a literary event of great magnitude--perhaps equal to the rediscovery of Henry Roth's "Call It Sleep.""" "Weeds "portrays the monotonous, drudg-ing life of the small tenant farmer of the tobacco fields of Kentucky. The story centers around Judith Pippinger, who has spirit, beauty, and a restless seeking for a purpose in life, but who is brutalized by farm life. It is not a dramatic novel, as Matthew Bruccoli notes in his Introduction to this neglected masterpiece. But it is convinc-ing. The people live. On two counts this book is important. It is a perfectly controlled work of fiction, and therefore has the automatic worth that any superior piece of literature has. Also, it has his-torical value as a peak achievement in the revolt-from-the-farm school of naturalistic American fiction. Edith Summers Kelley was the last writer in the Hamlin Garland, E. W. Howe, Joseph Kirkland line of de-velopment. Aside from its probable worth as social history, "Weeds "is highly readable. Read-ers will find here plausible people in a beautifully-handled realistic setting. In-teresting to note, the novel's strongest supporter heretofore was Sinclair Lewis, who was engaged to the author. In the opinion of Professor Bruccoli, "Weeds "is as good as "Main Street".""

The Other Way to Listen

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Baylor, Byrd / Parnall, Peter / Parnell, Peter, PUBLISHER: Aladdin Paperbacks, A girl knew an old man who had a special way of listening.

The girl asked the man to teach her to listen, but he said she had to learn how from the hills, ants, lizards, and weeds. For a long time, she tried without success, and she almost gave up. But then, one day, she began a joyous song to the hills and, without even trying, she discovered the secret of the other way to listen. Byrd Baylor and Peter Parnall have combined their award-winning talents to teach children to appreciate the world of nature.
