Book Description
Carole Rodger was no different than most young girls. Growing up in Scotland in the early 70's she would dream of getting married to her prince, having two children, and living in her castle happily ever after. At the age of 17 she found her prince, eventually got married, had her two children, and moved into her castle, but then her world started to crumble around her. The one thing she dreaded throughout her whole childhood was forced upon her...being part of another broken family. Determined to survive a failed marriage, she moved out of the family house to start a new life for herself and her two children. Until a medical scare derailed her only six months after her marriage ended...breast cancer. Her unwavering desire and spirit to find true love, adventure, and to live life to its fullest persevered, and led her to the sport of mountain climbing. She eventually trained to climb the Matterhorn and was asked by a fellow climber if she'd like to go on a blind date, where she met her true prince, Sean. After a nine-month transatlantic relationship with this American, she got married in a Scottish Palace on Valentine's Day, honeymooned in Italy, and packed her bags, deciding to leave her beloved Scotland to relocate her children and herself to New York. Once again back on track and living the life she'd always dreamt of, this time with her soul mate, the unthinkable happened. Carole was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and she asked God, why me again? The emotional roller coaster she rode built an incredible strength of spirit and hope within her which was inspirational to others as she looked for ways to treat the disease. How can something positive come out of such a story? Read on...

Book Description
Over 150 years after its original composition, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol continues to delight readers. The figure of Ebenezer Scrooge has become a cultural icon, and Tiny Tim's "God Bless Us Every One" is as familiar as "Merry Christmas." It is not surprising that Dickens' "ghostly little book," as he called it, has proved popular with playwrights and screenwriters. In everything from elegant literary treatments to animated musicals, the role of Scrooge has been essayed by actors from George C. Scott to Mr. Magoo. This critical account of the story's history and its various adaptations examines first the original writing of the story, including its political, economic, and historical context. The major interpretations are analyzed within their various media: stage, magic lantern shows, silent film, talkies, and television. Dickens' other, lesser known Christmas stories, like "The Cricket on the Hearth," are also examined and compared to the immortal Carol. Finally, a complete annotated filmography of all film and television productions based on A Christmas Carol is included, with commentary on each version's loyalty to the original text. The book includes 25 previously unpublished photos as well as analysis of previously undocumented productions. The text includes a foreword by the distinguished film and literary scholar Edward Wagenknecht, a bibliography and an index.

Book Description
This is the only monograph to consider the entire thirty-year career, publications, and influence of Britain's first female poet laureate. It outlines her impact on trends in contemporary poetry and establishes what we mean by ‘Duffyesque’ concerns and techniques. Discussions of her writing and activities prove how she has championed the relevance of poetry to all areas of contemporary culture and to the life of every human being. Individual chapters discuss the lyrics of ‘love, loss, and longing’; the socially motivated poems about the 1980s; the female-centred volumes and poems; the relationship between poetry and public life; and poetry and childhood and written for children. The book should whet the appetite of readers who know little of Duffy’s work to find out more, while providing students and scholars with an in-depth analysis of the poems in their contexts. It draws on a wide range of critical works and includes an extensive list of further reading.

Book Description
Between 22 June and 18 August 1818, John Keats and his friend and collaborator Charles Armitage Brown embarked on an epic walking tour of the English Lake District, South West Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Ayrshire Burns Country, the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles, and the Great Glen north eastwards to Inverness, Beauly, the Black Isle, and Cromarty. During the tour, Keats and Brown both wrote extensive and detailed accounts of their experiences. The twelve new essays in this collection each explore the significance of the 1818 tour for understanding Keats's achievements, ranging across topics such as the contemporary Highland tour; Scottish literature, history, landscape and culture; Romantic responses to Robert Burns's life, works and places; and Keats's health and influence on Scottish artists.
