Book Description
Samuel Adams (also known as "Sammy") is a brilliant cat. Mr. Chips, a young, impressionable dapple dachshund, is a major worrywart and not the adventurous type. They live at Number Thirteen Rabbit Hill Road in western Connecticut, along with another cat named Bud (whose only interests are eating and sleeping) and their owners, Mr. and Mrs. S. When the dreaded word vacation is overheard, it is like the shot heard 'round the world. Sammy wastes no time coming up with a plan for the Grand Tour: to escape the dreadful prison called "boarding" and return to the library he once called home. With a map, compass, and backpacks strapped on, Sammy and Mr. Chips make their Great Escape from Number Thirteen and head north along Route 7 to the Berkshires of Massachusetts. Destination: The Berkshire Athenaeum, where Sam Adams (formerly known as "Melville") was once the celebrity library cat. Adventures await around every bend as the two musketeers trek northward and find themselves staying in a barn, campground, trailer, and chicken coop. Along the way, important lessons are learned about sharing, caring, perseverance, and the true meaning of family. The Fantastic Tails of Sammy and Mr. Chips is a heartwarming tale that comes to life with thirty pen-and-ink drawings about an incredible journey filled with adventure, humor, and memorable characters who will capture your heart. These huckleberry friends are off to see the world, there is such a lot of world to see . . . do come along

Promises I Made My Mother
Author: Sam Haskell
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345516575
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
What would my mother say? How would she want me to handle this situation? How can I make this tough decision and stay true to myself? What would my mother say? Sam Haskell still asks himself these questions every day. When Haskell was young, his devoted mother, Mary, instilled in her son the values of character, faith, and honor by setting an example and asking him to promise to live his life according to her lessons. He did, and those promises have served Haskell consistently from his Mississippi boyhood to his long career at the venerable William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills. In this inspiring memoir full of touching stories and amusing anecdotes, Haskell reveals how he kept his pledge to his mother to live a decent life–even in the shark-infested waters of Hollywood, where he handled the hottest stars and packaged the highest-rated shows–by refusing to become the cliché of an amoral agent. Here is Haskell as a child in Amory, Mississippi (pop. 7,000), discovering the power of hope as he waits for an unlikely visit from the “Cheer Man” (a representative of the detergent company who gave ten dollars to anyone using the brand), learning humility after pursuing an eighth-grade “Good Citizenship” award he cockily assumed he’d win, confronting the complications of human character when a near-fatal car crash exposed his judgmental father’s true nature. Years later, in Hollywood, Haskell would rely on his mother’s teachings–honesty, self-reliance, and belief in God–as he swiftly rose from the William Morris mailroom to eventually become the company’s Worldwide Head of Television. His capacity for friendship and his insistence on living his version of the Golden Rule (being “thoughtfully political”) allowed him to handle various client crises and the tense negotiations that nearly scuttled the last years of Everybody Loves Raymond and the entire existence of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Haskell has achieved success through self-respect, and from his story we learn how we, too, can maintain our dignity when faced with life’s challenges. This stirring memoir is a testament to mothers everywhere who instill in their sons the lasting values they need to become good men and devoted fathers.

Maggot
Author: Paul Muldoon
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571269648
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
In his eleventh full-length collection, Paul Muldoon reminds us that he is a traditional poet who is steadfastly at odds with tradition. If the poetic sequence is the main mode of Maggot, it certainly isn't your father's poetic sequence. Taking as a starting point W. B. Yeats's remark that the only fit topics for a serious mood are 'sex and the dead', Muldoon finds unexpected ways of thinking and feeling about what it means to come to terms with the early twenty-first century. It's no accident that the centerpiece of Maggot is an outlandish meditation on a failed poem that draws on the vocabulary of entomological forensics. The last series of linked lyrics, meanwhile, takes as its 'subject' the urge to memorialize the scenes of fatal car accidents. The extravagant linkage of rot and the erotic is at the heart of not only the title-sequence but many of the round-songs that characterize Maggot and has led Angela Leighton, writing in the TLS, to see these new poems (on their earlier appearance in Plan B, an interim volume which included several of the poems in Maggot) as giving readers 'a thrilling, wild, fairground ride, with few let-ups for the squeamish.'
