Tranters End is about to get a surprise.

****Review:
Susan Barnett, host of NPR's "51%":
"A wry and engaging look at what happens when an urban loving writer/journalist 
leaves it all behind so her husband can fulfill his dream of life as a country squire. 
O'Reilly has the sass of Carrie Bradshaw with kids... endearing, irreverent and 
neurotic. She's a woman you just know you'd like."

****The Story of Newgate, London's Most Notorious Prison -     *   Vic Gattrell
    * The Guardian, Saturday 30 August 2008

"You can't conceive the ridiculous rage there is of going to Newgate," Horace Walpole wrote in 1750, 
as he marvelled at the well-heeled voyeurs of both sexes who flocked to the prison to gawp at the 
highwayman Maclaine before he was hanged. We remain incredulous about hanging people for 
what would now be thought small offences, and the casual brutality of the execution crowds who 
watched them in past centuries still shocks.

****If he is right, he will permanently change our conception of human 
language.' - John Searle, Slusser Professor of Philosophy, University 
of California, Berkeley'This is an astonishing book: a work of exploration, 
into the most distant place and language, but also a revelation of the way 
language is shaped by thought and circumstance.' Ben Macintyre, The 
Times  'Astonishing... a warm tribute to this people's unique way of seeing 
the world... full of wonder while conveying the fragility of the Piraha way.'

****Jo, Bessie and Fanny move to the country and find an 
Enchanted Wood right on their doorstep! And in the wood

magical characters that soon become their new friends - 
Moon-Face, Silky the fairy, and Saucepan Man. Together 
they visit the strange lands (the Roundabout Land, the 
Land of Ice and Snow, Toyland and the Land of Take 
What You Want!) which lie at the top of the tree and have 
the most exciting adventures - and narrow escapes!

The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton

****In 1845 the pioneers pushed across the American Mid-West. In the mountains, one group 
was overtaken by disaster - wiped out by avalanche, all except for one small girl, who found 
a door into another dimension. She found herself on the shores of Quiddity, the sea of dreams.

****Damon Mee was last seen in a blurred security video on the 
dance floor of a Kirkaldy nightclub. It was a routine missing persons 
case and it wasn't even on his patch, but inspector John rebus said 
he'd look into it as a favour to the boy's father, a friend from his 
school days. In the deft hands of Ian Rankin, the ripples of the 
investigation widen rapidly. They lead to the club's greasy 
owner, to a slightly bent casion croupier, to a drop dead blonde 
whose name nobody seems to know, to a Hibs striker with a talent 
for goals and a weakness for gambling and finally to the shadowed 
men who call the shots in Edinburgh's underworld. When it's over, 
Rebus has repaid a debt and his boss has received 
an unexpected birthday present.

****The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship 
between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, 
The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country in the 
process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the 
price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption. And it is also 
about the power of fathers over sons -- their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

****Bruce Chatwin's fascination with nomads and wanderlust represents 
itself in reverse in On the Black Hill, a tale of two brothers (identical twins) 
who never go anywhere. They stay in the farmhouse on the English-Welsh 
border where they were born, tilling the rough soil and sleeping in the same 
bed, touched only occasionally by the advance of the 20th century. Smacking 
of a Welsh Ethan Frome, Chatwin evokes the lonely tragedies of farm life, 
and above all the vibrant land of Wales.

****The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American 
woman, Isabel Archer, who "affronts her destiny" and finds it 
overwhelming. She inherits a large amount of money and 
subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming 
by two American expatriates. The most interesting aspect of 
the work, observed literary critic Harold Bloom, is of the novel 
being James’ portrait of himself as a woman.

****The narrator takes it upon himself to stalk - in the 
manner of a big game hunt - a human prey, a man 
guarded by the best in the land, a man with a vested 
interest in keeping himself out of the sights of any 
assassin. With the dictator in his sights our hero is 
apprehended and tortured almost to the point of death. 
Left to fall from a cliff to an apparently accidentally 
death he cheats fate by landing in a bog. Here begins 
his flight to freedom. But what kind of freedom? 
Even back in his native England he is hunted down 
by the agents of the dictator - forced to become an 
outlaw now wanted for actual murder after he finishes off 
one of his foreign pursuers in the bowels of the London Underground.

track the men down before they kill, just as he fights to stem the poignant 
memories that threaten to overwhelm him.
