Curation on the move
I bought this collection for the essay by Geeta Kapur, in conjunction with my work as curator of the forthcoming exhibition 'New Art from South Asia' scheduled to open at the Herbert, Coventry, in January 2009, to coincide with the opening of the new galleries. [...] Kapur's presence in this collection is essential; as her position highlights the narrowness of approaches anchored in Western ...

Fun, fun, fun!
I have the casette tape of this story (a MUST, because the entire story is sung and it's so very wonderful) and every year I put on the casette and sing the story to my class. I have yet to find a group that does not enjoy this story and beg repeatedly for me to play it again. In the beginning, a few students will pick up on the refrain "I don't care" as well as the timing and by the time we've ...

Holmes as a master educator in logic and deduction
Some time ago, Lamarr Widmer, the editor of the problem column of "Journal of Recreational Mathematics" submitted a review of this book to me, in my capacity as book reviews editor of JRM. As soon as I read the first two paragraphs of the review, I knew that I had to read the book. Sherlock Holmes is without question the greatest character to appear in fiction, the style of the stories still ...

Rollicking rhymes and fun drawings liven up and lighten up this "cautionary tale"
Filbert the squirrel loves to play soccer with his friends, and he likes to run around the neighborhood on errands, too. In fact, he's having so much fun he forgets to look both ways when dashing across the street. Rollicking rhymes and fun drawings liven up and lighten up this "cautionary tale".

Rosie Little's Cautionary Tales for Girls gave me the giggles and the chills...
I bought this book for the cover and the first chapter combined. Not being a serious reader I was a bit surprised that I couldn't put the book down. Rosie Little's Cautionary Tales for Girls initially gave me the giggles. But very quickly I found Rosie's dark side, and found myself with a case of the heebie-jeebies. The series of short stories is an incredible journey through womanhood. It ...

Completing the Edward Gorey library
JIM, who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion. It's small wonder that Edward Gorey chose to illustrate Belloc's verses, written nearly a century ago - in fact, they were such a clear and strong influence on his work, it's hard to believe he didn't write them himself. 'Cautionary Tales' is a literary work that was years ahead of its time, parodying the overtly-strict educational ...
Dreams and Nightmares: Terry Gilliam, The Brothers Grimm, & Other Cautionary Tales of Hollywood

A surprisingly unsympathetic look at my favorite director
The surprising thing to me about this diary of the making of The Brothers Grimm is that my sympathies were not wholly with the nominal director, Terry Gilliam. He is my favorite director and I have felt steadfastly in his corner during his fights over Brazil, Munchausen, and the aborted "Quixote". But here, it is hard to see him as heroic. Time after time when reading this admirably ...
