This book is filled with wonderful little tales with a little twist. Many of the stories are very subtle. You may even have to re-read a couple of them if you didn't pay close attention the first time. If you love Hitchcock, you will LOVE this book. Don't miss it.

An exceptional and comprehensive overview of the life of Pa Ubu himself! This book is very well researched and written (and illustrated!) with a sense of humor that Jarry would have appreciated. "Man With An Axe" is by far the best source of biographical info on Jarry in English. Jarry fanatics (especially those that cannot read French) should look no further.

Large-format and sturdy, lavishly illustrated and with illuminating prose, this book covers the 2001-2 Dia Arts Center show which was utterly mesmerizing. If you are unaware of Jensen, google him while waiting for this book to arrive...one of the most fascinating, and certainly most original artists ever.

The writing in the book was sanctioned by the artist himself, and features extensive firsthand quotes. This is virtually essential toward approaching this artist's work. If you can find one of these, it's well worth it. The painting on the cover is now at the Hirshhorn in Washington. I recommend Jensen's work to all those unafraid of art that challenges you in all ways, and I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm his son.

Only novel of the artist and illustrator Alfred Kubin (1877-1959), link between pre-World War I Austro-Hungary and the modern, post-war Central Europe. As such immensely important. Oppressive atmosphere throughout. Excellent example of the "Fantastic" in the literature of the German-speaking countries.

The author of this book (Asser) was a contemporary of King Alfred's and was brought to Wessex (Alfred's kingdom) in the ninth century as part of Alfred's plan to improve education and culture in Anglo-Saxon England. The text is highly readable and gives students an eyewitness account of Alfred's kingship: military successes and failures (esp. fighting the Vikings), advancement of English culture and education, consolidation of the seven kingdoms, and cultivation of Christian kingship in the Early Middle Ages. This kind of book is especially fun for students to read as it shows us "real history," including things such as Alfred's 20-year fight with some sort of intestinal disorder. We see Alfred as a man, not just an aloof, wooden figure that died long ago. This edition also includes maps, geneological charts of the Carolingian (i.e., "French") kings and the English kings up to Alfred, and a 29-page introduction by Simon Keynes and Michael Lapidge, which provides excellent background on the period in which Alfred and Asser lived. Also included are excerpts from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which was begun in Alfred's reign, extracts of Alfred's own writings and translations, and miscellaneous primary sources such as letters, books, and documents of the era. These items make good backgrounding for teachers. When this biography is read together with the Arthurian legend, it helps students to compare the real and the ideal kings of the Middle Ages.
