Like An Old Friend.
I had first read this book during the early 70's when I was Still in my teens,because nostilgia has a way of destorting things this book was not quite as great as I remembered it to be. Nevertheless it is still great a book, for those of us who understand that in History while Wars,Summit Meetings and the like have (and should ) thier place, so should the more ordinary aspects, of our cultural ...

Baseball : The Early Years

5 reviews
Harold Seymour, Dorothy Jane Mills

Oxford University Press, USA, 1960

The archetype for any publication about baseball history.
Aside from the most comprehensive view of early baseball, Harold Seymour provides incredible insight as he takes the reader through every vital detail about the game's heritage. For a book written 40 years ago, it shows the author's masterful foresight of what baseball would, and did, become. Particularly compelling is how he shreds the Abner Doubleday myth before doing so was popular. His ...

Writers Digest Review
Here is a review I received from Writers Digest. "The Sceptre demonstrates an impressive range of fiction skills worthy of a professional writer. I particularly like the mixture of historical setting, thriller, and the solid research that makes this so real. The intriguing title arouses immediate interest, and it is appropriate to the tone and content of the novel. The plot is compelling and ...

Grosset & Dunlap, 1966

The perfect first book.
Dorothy Seymour's book "The Tent" was the first book I ever read. I remember very clearly flipping through the bright green and black pages, reading each word and then finally reaching the last page. I was amazed that I had actually read the book myself! Now, I'm sharing this wonderful book with my kids. They get to follow Ned, Nell and the rest of the children to the eventually ...

The Charming Little Book that Taught Me to Read
This darling and simple reader was the first book I ever read in English, so sweet and memorable that I went on an internet quest for it thirty years later. The illustrations are simple red and black, and the story is told in less than 30 words in a memorable sort of sing-song language I remember to this day. I'm glad this story is back in print - it used to be impossible to get used, as each ...

A Woman's Work: Writing Baseball History With Harold Seymour

Dorothy Jane Mills

McFarland & Company, 2004

A Woman's Work is Never Done
Dorothy Jane Mills proves that "a woman's work is never done," having spent the majority of her life devoted to research and writing, and still continues to do so in her life today well into her 70s. However, it's not just any kind of research or writing that she's conducted, but an immersion into baseball history typically thought to be solely a man's area of interest, knowledge, and expertise. ...

Ann Likes Red

Dorothy Z. Seymour, Nancy Meyerhoff

Purple House Press, 2001

family mantra
I read Ann Likes Red so many times to my daughters, that it became a family mantra. Mashed potatoes Susan? No, Ann likes red! she would reply. Stringed beans, Emilie? No! Ann likes red. Imagine my surprise to find that the book is still available through Amazon, and that others loved it as much as we did.

Baseball: The People's Game

Great Stories About Baseball!
Harold Seymour made the right move as a kid when he waited on Bedford Avenue outside the right field fence at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn to catch home runs hit off the bats of Dolph Camilli and Pete Reiser. Thus began a love affair with the game that has blossomed into three great books including "The People's Game," maybe the best. Seymour goes into great detail about aspects of the game as they ...
