Ms. Arden has done it again...
As the owner of 4 small dog rescues, I have found all of Darlene Arden's books extremely helpful and "small dogs, big hearts" is certainly no exception. It is filled with valuable information and should be a must read for anyone who has or is even remotely thinking about getting a small dog. Like all her books, this one is well written in Ms. Arden's easy to follow and understand style. I ...

Shakespeare's Sonnets (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series)

8 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden, 1997

Excellent edition
I recently used the Arden edition of the Sonnets in a graduate level course on Renaissance literature. It's useful, too, to have Helen Vendler's "Art of the Sonnet," as well as the Penguin edition (fewer notes than the Arden). Quite simply, the Arden excels in the scholarly apparatus. Also, for a concise, readable supplement, include Greenblatt's "Will in the World" (the chapter on the ...

This marvelous reference work from Darlene Arden will put to rest the concern of such breeders.

A mystery solver
Aha! This easy-to-read resource confirmed my suspicion as to why my new dog Lucy barks madly at the FedEx guy (see p. 97). But I never figured out why she did some other odd things until I found the answers in this helpful book. It solved such mysteries as: Page 100: Why dogs sniff the crotches of guests. Page 103: Why dogs vigorously, messily splash water out of the water bowl with their ...

The first part of King Henry IV (The Arden Shakespeare paperbacks)

17 reviews
William Shakespeare

Vintage Books, 1966

The two sides of Hal
Henry IV remains one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, even though the tragedies and comedies get far more attention and seeming appreciation than do the histories. As an English major, I examined Henry's (Hal's) character, and I focused on his development from a somewhat foolhardy young man into a self-assured, even manipulative prince. It is hard to say which of these Hal truly is, or if he is ...

Rover---A Great Title For A Wonderful Book
Anyone can write a about the niceties of the human/animal bond(ad-nauseum). Anyone can write a"how-to" book on animal behavior problems,a-la Popular Mechanix--dull and trite. But it takes a Darlene Arden-- a special, genuine, confident connoisseur to pull off a bold, informed,and humororous book with THAT TITLE. Just like Smuc kers---"It's got to be good". And indeed it is-- better than we ...

Confessions of St. Augustine

Arden Library, 1982

Great reader
Obviously, the Confessions of St. Augustine themselves need no review. However, potential buyers need to know that the reader for this particular recording is absolutely fantastic. I took the time to listen to other recordings before I decided which to buy, and this one is absolutely the best one. It is a pleasure to listen to!

King Henry V (3rd Series)

T. W. Craik, William Shakespeare

Routledge, 1995

A popular play in an edition fabulously rich in helps
This play is best known for the St. Crispian's Day "Band of Brothers" speech given by King Henry just before the battle at Agincourt. It is a powerful speech that rallies people at all times and everywhere. Sir Lawrence Olivier made a film version in 1944 during WWII and Kenneth Branagh made another as recently as 1989. You can count on there being more versions. Epecially so when computers ...

Our "NSA" in 1918!
Yardley could sight-read the encrypted messages of the time. This and "Education of a Poker Player" are informative and entertaining.

Henri Bergson

Arden Library, 1980

the opus of the advocate of vitality....
Despite Lord Russell's criticism that "intuition works best in bats, bees, and Bergson," in this work Bergson not only finishes the uprooting of the Western and Platonic disembodied intellect (a deconstruction taken only so far by Kant), he presents us with the spectacle of unbridled life creatively shaping, not only its world, but itself in accord with its own telos: the need for eyesight ...

Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table: Every Man His Own Boswell

5 reviews
Oliver W. Holmes

Arden Library, 1977

Delightful
Two oral practices flourished in antebellum America: the lecture (or sermon) and the conversation. Lectures, such as Emerson's "The American Scholar" and sermons, such as the abolitionist sermons of Henry Ward Beecher, are well-known examples of this era. But it was also known as the Golden Age of Conversation, and its greatest practitioner was generally agreed to be Oliver Wendell Holmes, ...

Story of an African Farm: A Novel

7 reviews
Olive Schreiner

Arden Library, 1978

Complex, Deep and Moving
"Story of an African Farm" is a difficult work to describe. It must be read several times, and carefully pondered before all of its secrets are unlocked. Ostensibly, the book revolves around the lives of three children (and, later, adults) who live in the Karroo plains of South Africa. The main focus, however, is on two of the characters - Waldo, the earnest and deeply curious son of the ...

Hamlet (The Arden Edition of the Works of William Shakespeare)

6 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden Shakespeare, 1982

best version of Hamlet to buy
An excellent version of the play, a balanced and comprehensive introduction, and extended notes about subjects of controversy or interest -- if you want to buy a copy of Hamlet this is the edition to get. Most people have not read many versions of the play; nor have many people read most of the hundreds of books and articles on this play. For whatever strange reason, i have made it through much ...

Arden Shakespeare: Othello

7 reviews, 1962

A fine edition with many helps for the reader
This edition is from the 3rd Arden Series and may have a more modern feel to readers than the previous series did. For example, modern scholars believe that Shakespeare's plays were performed without break between scene and act so this edition does away with the ACT I Scene 2 headings and instead merely inserts 1.2 in the text where the change occurs. There is a fine introductory essay that ...

Arden Shakespeare a Midsummer Night's Dream (Arden Shakespeare: Third)

7 reviews
Harold F. Brooks

Arden Shakespeare, 2009

Shakespeare is hilarious!
Anyone who has read this play will say that it was a riot. What's even better than reading it, though, is seeing it performed live. My face hurt because I was laughing so hard! But if you do read it, and you have that problem about understanding what it's saying, not a big deal! The flavorful but easy to read dialouge makes it simple to understand what's going on. But, you can always get the ...

King Henry IV Part 1 (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series)

7 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden, 2002

about time!
Arden's are always wonderful but the Henry IV was almost 50 years old--at last there is a new edition and it was actually worth the wait! This is one of the best editions of any Shakespeare play I have ever seen. A must for any high school or college library. A must for any lover of Shakespeare.

Hamlet (Arden Shakespeare: Second Series)

6 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden, 1982

Simply Indispensable
When Henry James sat down to write on his Venetian travels for what later became the Italian Hours, he began with a disclaimer: "It is a great pleasure to write the word; but I am not sure there is not a certain impudence in pretending to add anything to it." Turning to Shakespeare, we might amuse ourselves by writing on, say, Hamlet, but can anything be said that's not already been said, and ...

50 Simple Ways to Pamper Your Dog

Arden Moore

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2000

Not necessarily for the froo-froo pet!
Moore offers pampering methods that your dog will actually acknowledge, enjoy and benefit from. The suggestions have the dog's health in mind and even offer solutions for common problems (like keeping your dog still during grooming,etc.). It's more of a "how to care for your dog better" book and covers all sorts of situations like travel and healthy dog recipes. The short sections and cute ...

The Ultimate Beach Book
You don't need a beach to enjoy this ultimate beach book. Guess the true identify of Verateague, the fictious mask for this jewel of a town on the Delmarva Penninsula (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia area). This wonderful place, an artist's colony and fishing town, is host to the passions of assorted spicy characters, from "the Hooligan", Hoolie Daniels, an artist and girl about town, to roving-eyed ...
