![]() ![]() Miracle is a small rural area located outside of Stanford that was named for a prominent family in the area. ![]() Located just north of Main Street in Stanford, it inspired the name of The Depot Restaurant, where Meg first meets Vance. The depot that served this railroad still stands, having been restored to its original splendor. Around 1865, the railroad became a major part of Stanford and provided a much-needed railhead for southern Kentucky. While Boone went north to found Boonesboro on the Kentucky River, Logan’s trail led to the banks of a creek where he built a fort that later became Stanford, Kentucky. ![]() ![]() IN 1777 A VIRGINIAN NAMED COLONEL BENJAMIN LOGAN came through the mountains with Daniel Boone seeking fortune.

We wanted these books to come close on the shelves to the Redwall series by Brian Jacques, which is a similar animal fantasy series. The inspiration of the pen name, "Erin Hunter": In addition to having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behaviour. Įrin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. They came up with the name, Erin Hunter, to avoid confusing readers with their books filed in different places in libraries and stores. They are also the authors of Seekers, Survivors, Bravelands, and Bamboo Kingdom. ![]() Kate and Cherith take turns to write the Warriors series, while Vicky used to coordinate the whole affair. The name serves as the pseudonym of seven people Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Victoria Holmes, Tui Sutherland, Clarissa Hutton, Inbali Iserles, and Rosie Best, and formerly Gillian Phillip.

These are emotionally draining scenes which are, thankfully, counterpointed by some lighter scenes. Much time is spent with the bomber pilots during the second world war: their heroism is well-known but the book really brought home to me the horrors they endured. I was drawn into the lives of the main characters as the narrative time-travelled back and forth over the 20th century and into the 21st. It took me awhile to get into this book as the first few chapters dot about among different characters whom I needed to get to know or be reacquainted with those who figured in the author’s previous book Life after Life, but soon I was utterly riveted by this powerful and memorable novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot of Vimanarama revolves around Ali and Sofia, two young Muslims from Asian backgrounds, whose parents have arranged for them to be married. A charming mix of Kirby’s cosmically preoccupied “Fourth World” or The Eternals, with the quotidian pathos of a vintage Marvel Comic circa 1963. ![]() The three-issue miniseries, Vimanarama, illustrated by Philip Bond, is an exemplary blend of high and low. This Morrison touchstone, to link the droll in the everyday world with the numinous, is where much of the absurdity and humor of his books derive. His writing is able to express quite grandiose, metaphysical ideas, while simultaneously grounding them in characters that wear their humanity on their sleeves, the stand-ins for you and I, the everyman (and woman). This wellspring of knowledge enables Morrison to contribute a fresh perspective on a genre that has been in existence since the late 1930s. This understanding, down to a granular degree, encompasses its limitations as well as its inherent potential. ![]() ![]() What sets his works apart from other comic book creators is his deep and explicit understanding of the genre. Although he needs no introduction from the likes of me, let me just take a moment to restate the fact that Grant Morrison is the premier auteur working in the field of superhero comics. ![]() |
