Travers creator of the classic Mary Poppins stories is an event, and "Friend Monkey" has for a long time been eagerly awaited. ***"Who is Monkey?" One might as well ask, "What is the wind?" for Monkey is the kind of character that cannot be explained except in terms of the book he inhabits. The story tells of his departure from the jungle, his arrival in England in 1897, the people he befriends - Mr. Linnet, Miss Brown-Potter, the one and only Professor McWhirter, Louis the cockatoo - and what happens to them as a result of this befriending. ***"You could say," says P. L. Travers, "that the book is the result of a long brooding on the idea of Hanuman, the monkey lord of the Hindu myths, who could never do anything by halves." But this monkey is anything but a myth. He is utterly tangible and real, and the story, with its masterly mixture of fact and imagination, sweeps us through a series of adventures to a conclusion as inevitable as it is unexpected. Funny and touching by turns, full of disciplined wit and wisdom, the book is a commentary, at once wry and poetic, on the verb "to love". It is not only a book for children but for all ages.' (Quote taken from inside front flap of jacket blurb). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Elias, Maria (book design); Galella, Ron (frontispiece photograph); Forner, Alison (jacket design); Engel, Jerry (jacket photograph) (illustratore). New condition white boards, white spine and black spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Introduction and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographic frontispiece. "William F. Buckley's sketches and vignettes of the prominent people of his time are absolute gems, and so are the introductions by James Rosen. A book to own, to read - and to read again." - Brit Hume, senior political analyst, Fox News Channel. "William F. Buckley was both an ideological warrior and a bon vivant with a talent for friendship. He understood that a well-lived life should be simultaniously serious and fun, and that a death calls for a summing up, both measured and elegant. This volume gathers some of Buckley's best eulogies, deftly placed in context byJames Rosen." - George F. Will, Washington Post columnist. "William F. Buckley, Jr. remembers - as only he could - the towering figures of the twentieth century in a brilliant and emotionally powerful collection, compiled by acclaimed Fox News correspondent James Rosen. In a half century on the national stage, William F. Buckley, Jr. achieved a unique stature as a writer, a celebrity, and the undisputed godfather of modern American conservatism. He kept company with the best and brightest, the sultry and powerful. Ronald Reagan pronounced WFB "perhaps the most influential journalist and intellectual in our era," and his jet-setting life was a who's who of high society, fame, and fortune. Among all his distinctions, which include founding the conservative magazine National Review and hosting the long-running talk show Firing Line, Buckley was also a master of that most elusive art form: the eulogy. He drew on his unrivaled gifts to mourn, celebrate, or seek mercy for the men and women who touched his life and the nation. Now, for the first time, WFB's sweeping judgments of the great figures of his time - presidents and prime ministers, celebrities and scoundrels, intellectuals and guitar gods - are collected in one place. A Torch Kept Lit presents more than fifty of Buckley's best eulogies, drawing on his personal memories and private correspondences and using a novelist's touch to conjure his subjects as he knew them. We are reintroduced, through Buckley's eyes, to the likes of Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan, Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Truman Capote and Martin Luther King, Jr.this volume sheds light on a tumultuous period in American history - from World War II to Watergate, the "death" of God to the Grateful Dead - as told in the inimitable voice of one of our most elegant literary stylists. William F. Buckley, Jr. is back - just when we need him most.".
