No full textThis little book of 74 pages is a thorough surprise. I ordered it because the seller on Ebay advertised it, along with three others in the series, as “Fables from the Stables.” I cannot find that series mentioned in the books themselves. I was leaning heavily to keep the four of them out of the collection, despite the back cover’s saying “Let me tell you the fable.” It is an engaging story about learning something. Colin, content, efficient, and liked, starts trying other animals’ food. The first result is a super-manure! The second result, however, is a series of farts that poison the farm and even the town. Colin has to be taken away and put into quarantine! He learns to be content with his beloved hay. I did not expect a book about farts! Tor Freeman’s colorful illustrations are fun! About 5½” x 7”.Gavin Pucket

Translation as creative retelling : constituents, patterning and shift in Gavin Douglas' Eneados
No full textThe Thesis analyses and evaluates how Gavin Douglas (Eneados, 1513) has refocused Virgil's Aeneid, principally by giving more emphasis to the serial particularity inherent in the story, loosening the narrative structure and involving the reader in its retelling.
Chapter I pieces together (from the evidence not merely of what Douglas explicitly says, but of what his words imply) what for him a "text" in general is, and what accordingly it means for a translator or a reader to be engaged with it. This sets the scene for what follows.
The next four Chapters look in turn at how he re-expresses important (metaphysical) characteristics of the story. In Chapter II his handling of time is discussed, and compared with Virgil's: the Chapter sets out in detail how Douglas consistently refocuses temporal predicates, foregrounding their disjunctiveness and making them differently felt. In Chapter III spatial position and distance are analysed, and Douglas' way of dealing with space is found to display parallels with his treatment of time: networks are loosened and nodal points are accentuated. In Chapter IV the way in which he presents individuals is compared with Virgil's, and a similar repatterning and shift reveals itself: Douglas provides his persons with firmer boundaries. Chapter V deals with fate, where Douglas encounters special difficulties but maintains his characteristic way of handling the story. The aim of these four Chapters is to characterise formally how Douglas concretises and vivifies the tale of Aeneas, engaging his readers throughout in the retelling.
Finally, Chapter VI looks at certain general principles of translation theory (notably connected with the ideas of faithfulness and accuracy) and argues for a way in which Douglas' translation can be fairly experienced by the reader and fairly evaluated as a lively retelling which (albeit distinctive) is fundamentally faithful to Virgil

No full textI decided to read this little book of 89 pages after reading “Colin the Cart Horse” by the same author and artist. Again, the story goes by quickly and is fun to read. Bored Hendrix comes alive when a rock band visits Higgleston. A guitar drops from their van, and Hendrix finds his life’s passion playing it. He dutifully returns it, but the rock band just as dutifully comes to thank him – and to bring him a guitar of his own. He becomes the star of the show. Good touches help the story along the way, like the 80 year old mayor of Higgleston who rocks and enjoys stage diving. Again, Tor Freeman’s colorful illustrations are fun! About 5½” x 7”.First printingGavin Pucket
