Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. This book is in as new condition, no wear to covers, no markings inner pages. Spine intact, no creases. ".a riveting portrait of Elizabeth I as a romantic and vulnerable teenager, dangerously awakening to a perilous liaison with the wrong man. England, 1547: King Henry is dead. Elizabeth's half-brother, nine-year-old Edward, is king in name only. Thomas Seymour, brother to the ambitious duke who has seized power in this time of crisis, calculatingly works his way into Elizabeth's home in genteel Chelsea House. He marries Henry's widow, Catherine Parr, and uses his venerable charms and sexual magnetism to indulge his infatuation for young Elizabeth. Caught hopelessly under Thomas Seymour's spell, surrounded by kind friends and hidden enemies, Elizabeth can only follow her heart to ensure survival." Good Reads "Robin Maxwell began writing novels about the historical figures she had been obsessing about since graduating from Tufts University with a degree in Occupational Therapy. Her first novel, "The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn," now in its 24th printing, won two YA awards and has been translated into fourteen languages. "The Wild Irish" - an epic tale of Ireland's rebel queen, Grace O'Malley - closed out her Elizabethan Quartet, and is now in development for a television series. "Signora Da Vinci" and "Jane: The Woman Who loved Tarzan" are tales of the remarkable women behind two of the world's most beloved wildmen - Maestro Leonardo and Lord Greystoke. She has jumped genres again with "ATLANTOS," now a #1 Amazon Bestseller. Robin lives with her husband of thirty-five years, Max Thomas, at High Desert Eden, a wildlife sanctuary in the Mojave Desert." Good Reads.

Some staining to inside plastic cover and first inner page. No other markings inner pages, very minor wear to corners of covers. Spine intact. "Two female titans -- perfectly matched in guts, guile, and political genius. Elizabeth, queenof England, has taken on the mighty Spanish Armada and, in a stunning sea battle, vanquished it. But her troubles are far from over. Just across the western channel, her colony Ireland is embroiled in seething rebellion, with the island's fierce, untamed clan chieftains and their ""wild Irish"" followers refusing to bow to their English oppressors. Grace O'Malley -- notorious pirate, gunrunner, and ""Mother of the Irish Rebellion"" -- is at the heart of the conflict. For years, she has fought against the English stranglehold on her beloved country. At the height of the uprising Grace takes an outrageous risk, sailing up the Thames to London for a face-to-face showdown with her nemesis, the queen of England. In this ""enthralling historical fiction"" (Publishers Weekly), Robin Maxwell masterfully brings to life these strong and pugnacious women in order to tell the little-known but crucial saga of Elizabeth's Irish war."

Paperback. Condition: Good. 344 pages. Cover wornA riotous tale, bursting with picaresque energy, and spiced with wicked humor, about a Eurasian Don Juan caught up in a world of missionaries, taipans, and warlords. It i s an intimate portrayal of the manners of the age, embodying abun dant historical background of considerable interest. Editorial R eviews Review Based on the twilight years of Britain's dominant influence over China, Robin Maxwell's Merry-Go-Round is a comic n ovel of manners, both historical and Tom Jonesian. -- BC Bookworl d, Summer 1990 issue. Capturing my interest from page one I devo ured the book in short order. -- Fred Istl, former resident of Ti entsin China, now ex-Austrian Consul in Toronto, Canada It wonde rfully recaptured for me the smells, dust, and street cries of Ti entsin. -- Colin Nielsen, former resident of Tientsin China, now living in Zimbabwe Merry-Go-Round is a wonderfully spicy story o f the misadventures of an Eurasian orphan in a world of missionar ies and taipans. -- Jane Wilson on her Daily Edition show, CHEK T V May 1 1990. Racy and raunchy, Merry-Go-Round has a wonderful s ense of the comic. -- Shura Shihwarg, former resident of Tientsin China, now a writer in London, England From the Author Tientsin (now spelled Tianjin), where I was born of Irish/French parents, stands on the confluence of two great rivers and the Grand Canal . From ancient times it was Peking's (now Beijing's), gateway to the sea. But the Tientsin of my story is that of the Foreign Conc essions, where by force of arms eight colonial powers held sway. By the 1930s these concessions had become thriving townships comp lete with business districts and sleepy suburbs. Victorian propri ety was the order of the day, but you did not have to dig deep to find the lusty dissoluteness of a garrison town. Through the gra pevine of information provided by family amahs you learned next d ay who of the straight-laced colonials had fallen into the sea of temptation. And when the Japanese jammed two thousand missionari es, merchants, vagrants, dancing girls into internment camps, the ensuing fun and games almost cried out for piecing together a st ory such as Merry-Go-Round. From the Back Cover Spurned by the C olonials and disdained by the Chinese, the Eurasian orphan, Marcu s Xavier, sets out to trace his origins in the hope of proving he 's as much a man as anyone. But when it transpires that his uniqu e blend of genes (a fiery warlord's and a French gentlewoman's) h as endowed him with attraction that eclipses even Casanova's, he gets all the proof he needs from a Russian Countess, a Taipan's d aughter, a Nazi frau, a Shanghai actress (whose cave is but three doors from Chairman Mao's), a missionary nymphet, a Hollywood st ar. A WHIMSICAL YARN SPICED WITH WICKED HUMOR whose background, t he era of the foreign concessions in CHINA, is vividly painted by Robin Maxwell, a thirty year Vancouver resident, but who grew up in TIENTSIN where nine nations once held sway. About the Author Robin Maxwell, pen name for Desmond Power, was born and raised i n Tientsin, North China, of Irish French parents. He had barely c ompleted high school when the Japanese overran Tientsin's foreign concessions on the night of Pearl Harbor. After internment in Po otung, Lunghua, and Weihsien prison camps, he lived variously in Australia, England, New Zealand, and finally in Canada. He is the author of Little Foreign Devil in 1996 (written under his origin al name Desmond Power) and he has just completed Flambard's Canad ian Capers which will be published in the first quarter of 2000. Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 1 Page 1. Marcus Xavier never knew his father or his mother. He was a mere babe in arms when he first arrived at the orphanage, s o the nuns told him. And that was all they ever would tell him. N ot another word could he get out of them about his origins, where he sprang from, and so on. When they sensed his.

The 2002 biennial is no exception, encompassing over 100 artists working in film, video, computer projects, music, sound-based art, photography, painting, and sculpture. The catalog design two pages devoted to each artist, with images printed on bright, glossy stock and text on contrasting, darker paper does a fine job of managing the excitement, presenting the works in a consistent format and thus lending cohesion to a subject that might overwhelm readers. This is a catalog in the truest sense of the word, a systematic listing, in alphabetical order, of the contents of the show that will serve best as a checklist for students and scholars interested in studying this biennial long after the sound and color have faded. The brief descriptions of each of the artists' works are fine thumbnail sketches, but those interested in learning more about these artists many of them quite young will need to look elsewhere. Abbreviated biographies on each artist are included, as is an audio CD with music and sound pieces. For collections serving art students, scholars, and curators."-- Michael Dashkin, Price-Waterhouse Coopers, New York City ; a few scuffs, else VG. Book.
