Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1993 Edition. © 1990: 4th in the 'Kelvin Of Rud' series of books. 1st printing of 1993 edition:- Synopsis: A girl, a boy - and a dragon. The Prophecy of Mouvar is running its course in the many frames of reality inhabited by Kelvin Knight Hackleberry and his family. The great Confederation of kingdoms under the rule of the twins Kildom and Kildee is a triumph for good. But Kelvin's enemies are not all dead. The evil witch Zady seeks vengeance for the deaths of Zoanna and Rufurt in another frame, and she has vowed Kelvin will pay with the lives of his children, Merlain and Charles. Zady's wicked plan is to lure the precocious, telepathic six year olds on a quest of their own that will draw the Confederation into a war it cannot win, and bring death and ruin on all Kelvin holds dear. Merlain and Charles are not twins, however, but two of a set of triplets - the third is Horace, a dragon, and their only hope:- Review(s): "This pleasant fantasy adventure possesses the added irony and realism that one expects from Anthony" - Publishers Weekly:- (original cost £4.99).

The prophecy of Mouvar is running its course in the many frames of reality inhabited by Kelvin Knight Hackleberry and his family. The Two Kingdoms joined to form Kelvinia have now been united with three others, to make a great confederation under the rule of the young twin kings, Kildom and Kildee. And Kelvin has earned some time to rest with his family: Heln and their children Charles and Merlain. And the one other. But Kelvin's enemies are not all dead. One at least lives to seek vengeance for the deaths of Zoanna and Rufurt. The evil witch Zady, who raised Zoanna and taught her every evil, has sworn not to rest until Kelvin has suffered as she has suffered: Zady has sworn that Kelvin will pay with the lives of his children. Charles and Merlain, and their dragon brother Horace, are now very precocious six-year-olds who idolize their father. How difficult will it be, Zady wonders, to lure them into a quest of their own, a quest that will draw the Confederation into a war it cannot win, and bring death and ruin down on all Kelvin holds dear?:- (original cost $4.99).

A barrister by profession, Fox-Davies worked on several notable cases involving the peerage, and also worked as a journalist and novelist. Heraldry, Fox-Davies wrote in the Introduction to his treatise, 'has been termed "the shorthand of History," but nevertheless the study of that shorthand has been approached too often as if it were but the study of a dead language." The author insists that heraldry, and the study thereof, is very much a live subject best approached with a scientific rigour with regards to the historical evidence and laws of Armory. He traces the symbolic and historical origins of heraldic devices across cultures and eras, from the family tokens (mons) of the Japanese to investigating classical texts of Greece and Rome. Heraldry and Armory as it came to be commonly recognised, he tells us, can be dated only to the age of the Crusades at the earliest. This period brought adornment and decoration to the shields, armour, surcoats and helmets of the nobility across Europe. Fascinating chapters follow spanning examinations of the evolution of shields, coat-of-arms and helmets to revising the common understanding of the heraldric signs of illegitimacy - the infamous "bar sinister." The result is a lively investigation that became the standard work on the subject. "If we include the many instances of the human head and the human figure which exists as crest, and also the human figure as a supporter, probably it or its parts will be nearly as frequently met with in armory as the lion." (p.159). The author has an encyclopedic knowledge of his subject and wears his learning well. The Ape, he tells the reader "is not often met with, except in the cases of the different families of the Fitz Gerald clan." (p.215) A chapter cataloguing heraldic monsters such as the 'Camelopard,' Dragon, Unicorn, 'Cockatrice,' the mythical Merman and Mermaids and fabulously fabled 'Amphisboena' - which he tell us "must be seen to be duly appreciated" will appeal to novice and expert alike.

Handel's Ode for St. Cecelia's Day, set to the poem by John Dryden (1631-1700) "A Song for St. Cecilia's Day," was first performed at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre on 22 November 1739. Dryden's poem puts forth a view of the universe based on the doctrine of the Harmony of the Spheres, where creation is set into motion according to the rules of harmony and human emotions are reflected and amplified by music. Dryden describes specific instruments and the emotions they elicit; Handel illustrates the poet's conceits with solos for those very instruments ("The soft complaining flute" and "Sharp violins," for instance). Orpheus, the Greek god associated with music, makes an appearance with his lyre: so transfixing is his playing that "trees unrooted left their place" and follow the divine bard. Handel paints a musical picture of this image with a dramatic dropped octave for the word "unrooted," and long vocal melismas that evoke, both the following of nature of swaying trees and the nimble and resonant plucking of Orpheus's lyre. A lifetime first edition of Handel's memorable work, dedicated to the joy and creative power of music.
