This book's fantastic! It docoments the story of Chuck Jones thinkin he was gonna do a better version of Peter and the Wolf than Walt Disney.It contains tons of colour and black and white photos from the film.Chuck Jones'animation,like Disney himself,is splendid.The other WB animatours,like Robert McKimson,Friz Freling and Tex Avery have animation as splendid like Disney himself.In fact,this version of Peter and the Wolf is way better than Walt Disney's version of Peter and the Wolf! Relive the moment it was first made in this book!

I first read lives of the musicians when I was about 7 yearsold or so. Then, I thought it was terrific. I still do. However, I amnow 12 years old, and now that I have paid more attention to it, I see several faults, but overall it is still a very good book. First of all, their choice of musicians is not the best. I would have recommended Debussy and Schubert, like the Kirkus Reviewer. Some of the composers I have hardly ever heard of, like Igor Stravinsky or Nadia Boulanger. And while Clara Schumann was a great pianist, I think they should have focused more on her husband, Robert, a prolific composer, whose works are among the very best. Also, some of the parts of the biographies are questionable. Frederic Chopin may not have actually been romantically involved with Aurore Dudevant (George Sand), but in love with the Countess Delphine Potocka. The book states that the Waltz in D-Flat, or Minute Waltz, was written for George Sand's dog, when in fact it was probably written for Potocka. However, the book was still very well written, and I enjoyed it, despite the possible mistakes. I recommend this book to anyone who likes music, classical or not. So sit back and enjoy!

I loved this book because it made those musicians seem like real people instead of great-all-star-super-geniuses. It is full of strange little facts about all the famous musicians like Bach,Gershwin,Beethoven and Schmann.

This book provides interesting insight into the lives of composers. I teach music to elementary and high school students and I read this book to all of my students. They all enjoy learning the details of the composers lives. The book presents the composers in such a way that the students remember the information about the composers. The book does not provide information about what the composers' music sounds like, and that is something I also like to teach. A great book to gain kids'interest in famous composers.

This book purports to be about an ancient Welsh tradition of Witchcraft. What it actually contains is material clearly drawn from Hebrew mysticism (Kaballah), Gardnerian Wicca, and Greek ritual. The ritual quarter guardian names in this book are the archangels of Hebrew tradition, and the author places them side by side with Irish, Welsh and Roman names.

Almost all of the symbols in this book are drawn from published Gardnerian material that has been widely available for decades. So, all in all, there is very little Welsh material here, old or new. You'll want to pass on this one as the claims do not match the material.

This is the book I have been searching for years to help enlighten on anyone's path to spirituality. This book covers prophecies to the rise of Atlantis! Since owning this book for over a year, it has become a refrence guide that I can not live without. If interested in Paganism to Bhuddism, one will find this book informitive & to the point. Lord Rhuddlwm Gawr is a truely gifted & knowlegable writer. No matter what spiritual book I may be reading, this book must be within hands reach! Grab this book while you can & open your eyes.

I first came across the original version of this title in 1985. I believe it was printed in the early 80s. The advertisement stated that it was a good book to study if I wished to be a Witch and interested in the Celtic tradition. I had just been initiated into the Gardnerian tradition in New York, and since there was almost nothing in our book of shadows, I was very pleased that this book became available at just the right time. Since then, I have read all twenty three of Rhuddlwms books which began to appear in 1976. Unfortunately there are only four of them currently in print. This one (I think) is the best of them all. It is affordable, and contains relavent material for almost any tradition. Excellent Excellent book. You will find out when you read it, that it will touch a cord in you that will take you down a path which you will love and cherish.
