Fans of Meg Cabot are treated to a change in style by the author. Paired with artist Jinky Coronado, Ms. Cabot retells AVALON HIGH in a comic/manga style. Readers do not have to have read AVALON HIGH to follow this new version of the story. Elle Harrison has just moved to Annapolis with her history buff parents. Almost immediately weird things start to happen. Her history teacher, Mr. Morton, ...

Not One of Thirkell's Best Efforts
Angela Thirkell's Barsetshire series includes some of my favorite and most often reread books, but this is not one of them. Many of the characters are ones who appeared in "Northbridge Rectory," and the situations in this book are often rehashes of situations from that book set several years later in time ("Northbridge Rectory" takes place during World War II, and this book takes place in ...

Jacob's Pillar: Stone of Destiny

FROM THE BOOK...
The Stone of Destiny traced -- presentation of the cumulative evidence which reveals the fate of the Bible's most famous stone. The scriptures are full of references to "stones", both literal and symbolic. One such stone is identified as the stone upon which the patriarch Jacob rested his head when he dreamed of the heavenly ladder. This stone has not received the attention it deserves from ...

Coronation St. The Complete Saga
This is my first Katherine Hardy book, and I have to say , it is absolutely wonderful. The characters are so well defined (and there are alot of them), that it isn't a problem to keep them straight in your head. It is a massive book (1024 pages), but the author is so "readable", that the book reads at an amazing speed. Extremely hard to put down. Five ***** for Katherine Hardy

The Drama of Coronation: Medieval Ceremony in Early Modern England
Alice Hunt

Cambridge University Press, 2008

The coronation was, and perhaps still is, one of the most important ceremonies of a monarch's reign. This book examines the five coronations that took place in England between 1509 and 1559: those of Henry VIII, Anne Bolyen, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. It considers how the sacred rite and its related ceremonies and pageants responded to monarchical and religious change and charts how they were interpreted by contemporary observers. Hunt ...

Bethany House, 2007

Finale not to be missed
Karen Hancock's final book is spellbinding and a fitting end to this wonderful fantasy/allegorical series. The faith and love of Abramm, Maddie and Trap are tested more than ever before and their responses are genuine and heartfelt. The reader has little difficulty imagining the land, the people and the intricate politics of the warring countries as Karen's writing is of the highest calibre. The ...

Wow!
This is one of the books by Karen Hancock in a four part series. I didn't think it could get any better after the other one but I was wrong. I couldn't seem to put this book down.

Crown, Orb and Sceptre: The True Stories of English Coronations

And now for something slightly different
If you're looking for something beyond the usual royal biographies, or as a companion to UK history, this could be it. Here's the lowdown on 1000 years of coronations stretching back to the crowning by St Dunstan of the Saxon King Edgar in Bath Abbey in 973 - which, incidentally, provided some of the words still used today - to the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. Nice bite-sized ...

Coronation: From the 8th to the 21st Century

Roy Strong

HarperCollins UK, 2007

Everything you've EVER wanted to know!
Quite a hefty tome, just chalk full of information, details, reasonings, changes in the ceremony (and why), and full of life with the different offices and personalities which take place in a coronation. This book is not for the faint of heart...or if you have a light lap. It is to be savored and lugged from room to room as you go about your day. While rich, it is easily read and you won't ...

Coronation Street
Anyone who is a fan of Katherine Hardy, will absolutely fall in love with her "cast" of characters that span 40 years. Yes, the book is huge, but well worth the time it takes to read it. I am finding that I can read 100 pages without even knowing it! Very readable, and easy to follow, as the characters are memorable. I hate to finish this book, it will be like leaving people I have come to ...
