Bedard, Michael A Darker Magic
Stoddart 1997 0773758887 / 9780773758889 Softcover Very Good+
Stoddart edition, same ISBN. Very nice condition. Pages clean with no markings. Cover has a little scuffing and a couple small light creases. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 184 pages; "This impressive first novel is pure, scary excitement. For classmates Emily and Craig and their teacher, genteel Miss Potts, summer begins routinely enough: Emily tends her rambunctious brother, Craig decides to look up a friend, and Miss Potts closes down the classroom. On one of the desks she finds a mysterious old playbill. Soon, all three are beset by frightening premonitions. Something dangerous, something connected with the past is about to happen. As tension builds, the characters' separate stories come together, seemingly forced by the evil designs of a strange magician who appeared in the town some 50 years before. Together or alone, they must resist him. No deeply embedded meanings are uncovered by the end; this is simply a well-told story of horror. The characters are sharp, the plot is solid, and Bedard has a wonderful way of dropping vivid details, like clues, along the way. Ages 10-14. " (156osl)

Christensen, James C.; Foster, Alan Dean & Renwick St. James Voyage of the Basset
Artisan 1996 1885183585 / 9781885183583 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket Signed by Author
Signed by author on half title page. Greenwich Workshop/Artisan edition. First edition. HC/DJ - fine/near fine. Hardcover clean and unmarked, fine other than slight wear/rubbing at tips of corners. Jacket has light scuffing and light wear at spine ends, not price clipped. Beautifully illustrated in colour. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 168 pages; Review: " YA. In 1850, Professor Algernon Aisling learns that the university plans to eliminate his Department of Myths and Legends. Because he fervently believes in the power of ancient stories and legends to help us understand ourselves and our place in the modern world, he absentmindedly wishes that a magical ship would transport him to the ancient lands of myth. PRESTO! Captain Malachi of the HMS Basset appears, and invites the professor and his daughters to sail from London to the lands of imagination. Aisling and 10-year-old Cassandra board eagerly, but 16-year-old Miranda is serious, practical, and reluctant to make the journey. The Aislings and the crew, made up of dwarves and gremlins, sail forth and encounter characters in (mostly Greek) myths: a manticore, Oberon and Titania, harpies, a sphinx, Minotaur, mermaids, sea serpent, trolls, gryphon, dryad, Medusa, unicorn, and a dragon. All goes along merrily until Aisling steals a dragon's skull belonging to the trolls. This action sets in motion a series of misadventures that endanger everyone aboard. Here, too, is a voyage of self-discovery. The professor realizes the consequences of his greed and desire for fame; Miranda begins to overcome her grief over her mother's recent death. Pen-and-ink drawings from the professor's journal and from Cassandra's notes are a delightful accompaniment to the lush paintings that illustrate this charming and whimsical fantasy. Christensen's magical journey proves that "one's imagination is where science starts," and will appeal to receptive dreamers from age 10 to 110."

De Luise, Dom GOLDILOCKS

Publisher's Note: Fractured to hilarious perfection, Dom DeLuise's retelling of this famous fairy tale puts a smile on your face and meat on your bones. Along with his own spin of the Goldilocks story (it's pasta e fagioli, not porridge, that gets her juices flowing) , the comedian and noted culinary expert includes a few delicious recipes. The droll illustrations add just the right amount of spice. In actor/comedian Dom Deluise's hilarious and irreverent retelling of an old favorite, a spoiled and headstrong Goldilocks leaves her homework undone and travels to the bears' forest cottage, where porridge is replaced by pasta e fagioli, and Goldilocks and the bears become great friends over a big lunch. Full-color illustrations by award-winning illustrator Christopher Santoro. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall
