'Reminiscences of Alice Strickler Keyes'
No full textThis handwritten volume of reminiscences was created by Alice Strickler Keyes (1851-1935), a lifelong resident of Columbus, Ohio, and charter member of the Altrurian Club of Columbus. The Altrurian Club was a women's social and intellectual group whose name derives from the word "altruism," alluding to the group's goal of social good. The early portion of the volume includes a secondhand account of Keyes' mother's early years in Columbus, including notable citizens and institutions in the city, beginning around 1834. Keyes goes on to describe her own memories of downtown and central Columbus during her childhood, including the homes and businesses that could be found there. Beginning on page 25, she recounts her experience following the assassination of President Lincoln, during which time she was chosen to be part of the funeral train procession as Lincoln's body was brought to lie in state at the Ohio Statehouse. The final page of the volume includes a small section of silver fringe which originally trimmed the Lincoln funeral car on its route through Columbus

The Briar King
No full textBy Greg Keyes Del Rey (Hardcover, $24.95, ISBN: 0345440668, 1/2003) The author of the bestselling Age of Unreason tetralogy (The Waterborn, etc.) inaugurates the Kingdoms of Throne and Bone quartet with this epic high fantasy. The inhabitants of this splendid and dauntingly complex parallel world, Everon, are mostly descended from folk magically transported from our world. This is not quite the land of Faerie, although the Briar King resembles the old Celtic horned god Cernunnos, while Keyes brings his expertise as a fencing teacher to the swordplay, here called dessrata. The Empire of Crotheny faces war with its arch-rival, the Hanzish, and magical intrigues aimed at preventing the land from having a born queen (as opposed to a king’s consort). By book’s end, Princess Anne, the daughter of the Crotheny king, is fleeing for her life with Austra, her maid, and Cazio, a young Vitellian nobleman, having earlier experienced the pains of discipline in a convent and the horrors of having her family butchered. With aplomb, the author employs one of the most classic fantasy plots: the heir(ess) with a destiny and a necessarily huge cast of supporters. Keyes mixes cultures, religions, institutions and languages with rare skill. The main theme may emerge with formidable slowness, but patient readers will find the rewards enormously worthwhile. —Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
