Three Blind Mice. Three Blind Mice. See how they run? No. See how they can make all sorts of useful literary elements colorful and easy to understand! Can one nursery rhyme explain the secrets of the universe? Well, not exactly—but it can help you understand the difference between bildungsroman, epigram, and epistolary. From the absurd to the wish-I’d-thought-of-that clever, writing professor Catherine Lewis blends Mother Goose with Edward Gorey and Queneau, and the result is learning a whole lot more about three not so helpless mice, and how to fine tune your own writing, bildungsroman and all. If your writing is your air, this is your laughing gas.* *That’s a metaphor, friends.

Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.

Learn to interact with fairies and tap into their powerful magic with the help of this accessible guide. Many people today regard stories of fairies to be nothing more than the stuff of fantasy, folklore, and superstition. But for those who experience these otherworldly beings, fairies are a very real part of our existence. Whimsical and lyrical, this book explores what and who fairies may be. It’s sure to intrigue anyone who wants to acquaint themselves with the “wee folk.” Elaine Clayton takes a look at how we distinguish fairies from angels, how fairies came about, visions and dreaming of fairies, looking for fairy faces in rocks and nature, the co-existence of animals and fairies, and more.
