The Tempest (Arden Shakespeare)39 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden, 1999

Excellent activity based edition
The Tempest is rightly regarded as being one of the Bard's greatest works, containing some of his deepest thoughts on the nature of power and the relationship between rational man as controller of nature, and the animal man always to be at the mercy of the passions both of himself, others, and the world around him. In fact, this play could be thought of as representing Shakespeare's final and ...
  
  











  



  
John Constable
William Vaughan

Tate, 2003

Hugely popular, John Constable (1776-1837) is often cited as the most genuine painter of the English countryside. His iconic images of rural life and landscape are endlessly reproduced, evoking a vanished idyll. Looking beyond the myths that have grown up around the artist, and drawing on a close reading of both his work and letters, William Vaughan provides a fresh understanding of the scope of Constable's achievement.

The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition4 reviews
Percy Dearmer, R. Vaughan Williams, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1985

This book is a delightful collection of carols.
Perfect for madrigal or four-part singing, this book contains many familiar carols, and some that are less familiar, including Easter and Harvest carols. I became familiar with this book when we used it as a backbone for our Christmas Caroling group several years ago, it was fun to sing from, and the music was enjoyed by the listeners.
  
  











  



  
Buckley: The Right Word (Harvest Book)15 reviews
Samuel S. Vaughan, William F. Buckley Jr.

Harvest Books, 1998

Even the title
When I first became an avid reader of Mr. Buckley's work I was amazed at how often his use of words was attacked. I wondered whether a new crime bill had been passed that outlawed a person being articulate. Why should someone who joyfully uses language be pilloried for doing so? Even commercial reviewers feel the need to go to their thesaurus, trot out words that they have never used before ...
