Book excerpt: In the tradition of Calvin & Hobbes and Dr. Seuss comes a new story of unlikely friendship. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a humongous and hairy giant named Wilfred. Whenever people saw him, they ran away, which made life very lonely for Wilfred. That is, until he found himself in a rather unusual town where one brave little boy saw something special in the timid giant. So begins a story of friendship and sacrifice that will remind readers just how important one voice – no matter how small – can be. In this moving debut, Ryan Higgins shows his knack for blending humor and heart, and gives Lorax fans an unforgettable new hero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the war poet - 'Dominic Hibberd has probably done more more than any other individual to illuminate Owen's life and work. His new Life is a triumph ... it is difficult to believe it will ever be superseded' Mark Bostridge, The Independent on Sunday When Wilfred Owen died in 1918 aged 25, only five of his poems had been published. Yet he became one of the most popular poets of the 20th century. For decades his public image was controlled by family and friends, especially his brother Harold who was terrified anyone might think Wilfred was gay. In recent years much new material has become available. This book, based on over thirty years of wide-ranging research, brings new information to almost every part of Owen's life. Owen emerges as a complex, fascinating and often endearing character with an intense delight in being alive.

Wilfred is a young magical apprentice determined to become the best and most wise wizard that ever was. Unfortunately for him, he's not very good. He's got the raw talent, but he doesn't concentrate! In fact, he's become (rather unkindly) known as 'Wilfred the UNwise'. And when one of Wilf's spells goes badly wrong, he's suddenly in more trouble than ever before. A mix-up which sees him catapulted into the future - and more specifically, into Bel's hometown. Bel is an aspiring magician too - she wants to be an amazing street magician like her heroes on TV. She's even got a stage-name sorted, and unlike Wilf, she practises all the time - maybe just a little too much . . . Wilf is delighted by her skills, and begs to learn from Bel. She's not so sure, but agrees that they'll have to work together to try to work out how to get Wilf back to his own time. If only Wilf would stop messing around! Can these two young magicians work together, or will Wilf be stuck here forever?

Book Synopsis Wilfred, Horton & M.E. by : Mel Elzea
Download or read book Wilfred, Horton & M.E. written by Mel Elzea and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are true stories about three young boys in a small Missouri town neighborhood who had family first names bestowed on them at birth, Wilfred, Melvin and Horton, when just about every boy of that day was given names like John, Bill and Tom. These three boys evolved in a time before bullying was popular because of great family discipline by God-fearing and responsible parents. Two of the three were brothers. Horton was the older brother, almost four years senior to Melvin. These stories are passed on to you by the youngest brother, as eloquently having been told and kept alive by his older brother Horton during his lifetime. It was by request of my two sons that we tell those stories at the memorial for Horton but it was then when I decided that they need to be shared with the world. To overcome the unusual name of my grandfather and out of respect Melvin, who is now known as Mel, I will give my credentials at the end of this story as I was just one of this trio of guys, and because of that, I have always given way to seniors. People always ask me why I always have a smile and seem to be happy. Wilfred and Horton gave me that smile, and I have never been able to wipe it off my face. Maybe these stories can help you smile. These stories are hilarious sometimes, and at the same time you get the feeling of some real family love. Psychologists might use these stories as examples for their patients because they are extremely mind-boggling examples of reality.
Book Synopsis The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price Purveyor of Superior Funerals by : Wendy Jones
Download or read book The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price Purveyor of Superior Funerals written by Wendy Jones and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical fiction debut. “An old-fashioned story exploring first love, loyalty and loss—this diverting novel is pure pleasure” (The New York Times Book Review). Under the heady influence of a springtime picnic and vague notions of obligation, young undertaker Wilfred Price blurts out a marriage proposal to a woman he barely knows. Much to his consternation, she says yes. As Wilfred attempts to extricate himself from the situation, his betrothed’s overbearing father presents further complications. And when Wilfred meets another woman he does wish to marry, a comedy of manners ensues. Set in rural Wales during the 1920s, Wendy Jones’s charming first novel is a deceptive, subtly humorous entrance to the mores and social conventions of a world gone by. “A life-embracing novel.” —The Boston Globe “A skillfully drawn comedy of manners.” —The New Yorker “[Jones’] characters are delightfully drawn, lovingly described, and infused with life that transcends the printed page.” —World Literature Today “Wilfred’s sentimental education is wrought so delightfully and affectionately.” —Sunday Times “Light, compassionate drama about a small, very tightly bound, ancient corner of the world.” —The Guardian “This is a spryly told tale whose heart is an ample match for its more knowing qualities.” —Daily Mail “A comedy of errors in rural Wales evolves into a dark tale of family secrets in this very accomplished debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Book Synopsis The Legacy of Wilfred Cantwell Smith by : Ellen Bradshaw Aitken (1961–2014)
Download or read book The Legacy of Wilfred Cantwell Smith written by Ellen Bradshaw Aitken (1961–2014) and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First work to address the legacy of Wilfred Cantwell Smith and his influence on the development of religious studies and Islamic studies in the twentieth century. This is the first work to address the legacy of Wilfred Cantwell Smith (1916–2000), whose intellectual and institutional contributions helped shape the field of religious studies in the latter half of the twentieth century. As a young scholar, Smith taught Indian and Islamic history in Lahore for several years and witnessed the partition of India. Upon his return to North America, he obtained his PhD at Princeton University before embarking upon a long and distinguished career. He founded the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill University and served as director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University. Smith emphasized the place of the scholarly study of Islam in the Western academy long before Islam occupied its current position at the center of global politics, challenged the notion of monolithic world religions, and argued for the importance of dialogical processes and a personalist approach to the study of religion. Contributors to this volume, many of whom were Smith’s students, provide a wide-ranging exploration of his influence and legacy
Book Synopsis Selected Letters of Wilfred Owen by : Jane Potter
Download or read book Selected Letters of Wilfred Owen written by Jane Potter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen's letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet's life in his own words. Wilfred Owen's fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature. Owen's letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century. Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen's Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen's character and poetic development.

Book Synopsis Wilfred Bion and Literary Criticism by : Naomi Wynter-Vincent
Download or read book Wilfred Bion and Literary Criticism written by Naomi Wynter-Vincent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilfred Bion and Literary Criticism introduces the work of the British psychoanalyst, Wilfred Bion (1897–1979), and the immense potential of his ideas for thinking about literature, creative process, and creative writing. There is now renewed interest in Bion’s work following the publication of his Complete Works but the complexities of his theory and his distinctive style can be forbidding. Less well-known than Freud or Lacan, the work of Wilfred Bion nevertheless offers new insights for psychoanalytic literary criticism and creative writing. For newer readers of his work, this book offers an engaging introduction to several of Bion’s key ideas, including his theory of thinking (the ‘thought without a thinker’), the container/contained relationship, alpha-function; alpha-elements, beta-elements, and bizarre objects; K and -K; the Grid, O, and the caesura. It also offers a way in to Bion’s astonishing and challenging experimental work, A Memoir of the Future, and explores the impact of his devastating personal experiences as an officer during the First World War. Each chapter of Wilfred Bion and Literary Criticism draws on one or more specific aspects of Bion’s theory in relation to creative texts by Sigmund Freud, Stevie Smith, B.S. Johnson, Mary Butts, Jean Rhys, Nicholas Royle, J.G. Ballard, and Wilfred Bion himself. The first full-length study to explore the potential of Bion’s ideas for literary criticism, Wilfred Bion and Literary Criticism introduces his complex and extensive work for a new audience in an accessible and engaging way, and will be of great interest to scholars of creative writing, literary criticism, and psychoanalysis.

Book excerpt: Of all the poets of the First World War, Wilfred Owen most fires the imagination today – this is the comprehensive literary biography of the greatest WW1 poet Wilfred Owen tragically died in battle just a few days before the Armistice.

Stallworthy covers his life from the childhood spent in the backstreets of Shrewsbury to the appalling final months in the trenches. More than a simple account of his life, it is also a poet's enquiry into the workings of a poet's mind. This revised edition contains the beautiful illustrations of the original edition, including the drawings by Owen and facsimile manuscripts of his greatest poems, as well as a new preface by the author. ‘One of the finest biographies of our time.’ Graham Greene ‘An outstanding book, a worthy memorial to its subject.’ Kingsley Amis ‘As lovingly detailed as the records of Owen's short life permit, but it is always fascinatingly readable, in fact engrossing.’ Sunday Telegraph
