  • Boodles HooHa House Origins

    Jo Kemp

    eBook
    From the original writer of the late 1970's children’s cult TV series ‘Chorlton and the Wheelies’ and ‘Jamie and the Magic Torch’. These Boodle books were first published in the early 1980s and designed for 3 – 10 year olds.Containing the following titles. This box set of the six classic Boodle Books are the origins of Hoo Ha House. 1. Samuel the Sliding Sausage2. Wally the Wobbling Wellington3. Percy the Peeping Pot Plant4. Maurice the Messy Mop5. Queenie the Quivering Quilt6. Terrence the Terrible TapCharming, funny and beautifully written Boodle Books are all about imagination. The notion of inanimate things coming to life is hardly original – which is precisely why the author gave it credence – because a child’s imagination has no bounds and there simply isn’t a child who hasn’t at some point taken a spoon or a daffodil and given it a name and a story.These delightful Boodle Books belong to children to help inspire adult imagination too.Based on these original stories, the new Hoo Ha House series runs to 26 titles covering every letter of the alphabet.
  • Robert Frost and New England: The Poet As Regionalist

    John C. Kemp

    Hardcover (Princeton University Press, April 19, 2016)
    Though critics traditionally have paid homage to Robert Frost's New England identity by labeling him a regionalist, John Kemp is the first to investigate what was in fact a highly complex relationship between poet and region. Through a frankly revisionist interpretation, he not only demonstrates how Frost's relationship to New England and his attempt to portray himself as the "Yankee farmer poet" affected his poetry; he also shows that the regional identity became a problem both for Frost and for his readers.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

    Excerpt from Wild Dayrell: A Biography of a Gentlemen ExileI shall follow your example, said the young lieutenant, and, if the favourite wins, I have yet six months' leave, and, after the settling, shall carry on the war for that time; if, on the contrary, he is beaten, I shall join my regiment in India. To tell the truth, I am tired of the dep6t at Maidstone, and would just as soon be roughing it on the banks of the Sutlej as stay here without plenty of money to enjoy my leave and hunting in Northamptonshire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
