As a family, the Bards were always special. In the really bad times of the Great American Depression of the late ‘twenties and early ‘thirties and in the not-quite-so-bad-times of the New Deal which followed, they hung together closely like a bunch of bananas: unfailingly bright, optimistic and funny, totally supportive of each other and endlessly hospitable to others of all ages, races and creeds less fortunate than themselves. The rock of the family was Sydney, the widowed mother. But undoubtedly the mover, the fixer and Unequalled Organiser-of-Others had to be Mary, the fizzing firecracker. And then she married a doctor. She became a Doctor’s Wife without catching one glimpse of the Job Description. Even if she had, she would have married Jim anyway. She had always welcomed a challenge. Which was just as well, for otherwise we would have been robbed of this very enjoyable book in which a ‘mover’ and a ‘do-er’ of a Doctor’s Wife gets to grips with possibly one of the most conservative professions on Earth. It could have been a recipe for disaster. Instead it produced this book—a sure-fire prescription for high entertainment.

The 30 Trials of Ix and the Angels follows Ix Pantheos from his awakening in a ruined castle through his travels to the moon, the sun, and beyond, carried along by the songs of thirty angels as they initiate him into the mysteries of consciousness and the nature of existence. The answer seemingly found and the journey apparently nearing its end, Ix then finds that he must suffer the destruction of his former self, and face a new struggle to hold onto all that was revealed to him. Born of a series of meditations performed by the author, and utilizing an eclectic mix of various world religious and occult philosophies, the story is a surreal journey into the depths of the mind, echoing Ix's own quest to redeem both himself and mankind. While it stands alone as an engaging read for those unacquainted with the various schools of inquiry that comprise the fertile field within which it took root, it retains that symbolism which may prove insightful to like-minded readers who find themselves treading its obscure paths.

This original study offers, for the first time, an analysis of the characterization of Esther as she is portrayed in each of the three primary versions of the book of Esther-the Masoretic text, the Septuagint text, and the Greek a text. This study of characterization has implications beyond itself. It permits a reasssessment of relations between the book of Esther and other literature of the time, it sheds light on the place of origin of the ancient versions of Esther, and it raises serious feminist and canon-critical questions about the role of the book.

boy aged ten, traumatised by personal events, searches for a surrogate family to belong to. In lifes journey through to adulthood he discovers friendship and love, bigotry and hate. In a quest for answers he turns to the Law and the legal profession to balance the scales of his unstable past and a turbulent present. ...I knew our lives had changed forever. There was little likelihood of us returning back to our former status as a family. I felt the warmth of tears down my face and tried not to sob, though this was a natural reaction. I walked towards my mother and buried my head in her clothing. She cried piteously. I cried with her as we held onto each other dearly. Life, for us, would never be the same again.
