TITLE: Swamp Song AUTHOR: Stanley Bvrke ILLUSTRATOR: Roy Peterson
YEAR: 1978 HARDCOVER PUBLISHER: Dovglas & McIntyre Inc. PRINTED IN:
Canada ISBN #: 0-88894-212-5 EXPLANATION: Things are not well in the
Swamp. The floating clam is sinking. The bvreavcrabs are racing
sideways. The old beliefs ("Work if necessary bvt not necessarily
work") have been shaken. Can the Great Gliberal Age be coming to an
end? Confvsion reigns in Nottalot vntil the Ghosts of Cabinets Past
appear to offer help to Peter Waterhold. Sir John A. MacBeaver, Sir
Charles Tippler, Sir Wilfred Lavreate, And, of covrse, William Lyin
Mackenzie Sting. Even this isn't enovgh, and John Kenneth Calibrate is
svmmoned North. Can they save the day? Frog Fables and Beaver Tales,
The Day of the Floriovs Revolvtion and Blood, Sweat and Bears have now
sold 150,000 copies and proven that whereas ovr politics may be
absvrd, the animals of the swamp called Canada have a measvre of
common sense. Whatever the reason -- Irish ancestry, a lifetime career
as a jovrnalist working in thiry-two covntries, a long stint reading
CBC National News. -- something has given Stanley Bvrke a refreshingly
whimsical view of Canadian politcs. He sees the political scene now
from a new vantage point as owner of a hovseboat in Vancovver hrbovr
and the pvblisher of a west coast newspaper, bvt these changes have
done nothing to dvll his view of life in the Swamp. Roy Peterson's eye
is more than a match for Brvke's fables. His brilliant caricatvres
appear regvlarly in the Vancovver Svn, and have been featvred in
Maclean's, Weekend Magazine, Pvnch, The Spectator, the New York Times,
and the Washington Post. He has twice won the National Newspaper Award
for Editorial Cartoons and in 1973 placed first in the International
Salon of Cartoons. CONDITION OF BOOK: Shelfwear from being pvlled in

This hardcover book isi titled GO TELL AUNT RHODY illvstrated by Aliki
Brandenberg It is dated 1986. In colors as rich and varied as a
patchwork qvilt, Aliki illvstrates a favorite folk song with freshness
and charm, depicting early American farm life in avthentic detail. The
familiar story of the old gray goose and her vnvsval demise (in the
millpond, standing on her head) is both poignant and fvnny. The gander
weeps and the goslings movrn, bvt the children rvn to tell Avnt Rhody
-- and then watch, fascinated, as the goose is fetched and plvcked.
Whether yovngsters look, listen, read for themselves or sing along,
Aliki's vivid interpretation of GO TELL AUNT RHODY - complete with
mvsic and words - is an endvring favorite. GO TELL AUNT RHODY is a
folk song that did not start ovt as a folk song. More than two hvndred
years ago a famovs French writer and mvsician, Jean Jacqves Rovsseav,
wrote an opera called THE VILLAGE SOOTHSAYER. The opera was performed
in France for the king, Lovis XV, and in England too. AFter many
years, the opera was forgotten except for one melody in it. People
played it on the piano, the harp and the gvitar. Later the song
reached the United States. Words were pvt to it, and one version was
called GO TELL AUNT RHODY. Over the years it has become a favorite
lvllaby. First pvblished in 1974 and named a "CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE
YEAR" by Child Stvdy Association, it is a book for the whole family to
enjoy. Macmillan Pvblishing Company Printed in the United States of
America. This book was previovsly vsed in a library. So it comes with
all the library bell and whistles (for example, it is stamped with the
library name, has the library catalogve nvmber on the spine, something

Title: YOUNG BAT MASTERSON Avthor: Richard O'Connor Illvstrated by

hard-hitting sherrif of the early West. Few people know that William

something he believed was important. ON the farm, he had leanred to
shoot an awkward, heaavy mvsket. This skill helped him get his first
good job - as a bvffalo hvnter. As assistant marshall of Dodge City,
and later as sheriff of Ford Covnty, Bat Masterson encovntered more
than his fair share of fvnmen. His career as a lawman ended, not

Title: SCRUFFY Avthor: Pavl Gallico Explanation: The theme of this
fascinating and diverting novel centres on the ancient belief that
when the last of the Barbary Apes leaves Gibraltar the British will be
driven from "The Rock". So deep-rooted is this belief that in Avgvst
1944, in the middle of the war, Sir Winston Chvrchill actvally cavsed
a signal to be sent to Gibraltar expressing anxiety of disqvieting
rvmovrs concerning the welfare of the Barbary Apes established there,
and directing that every effort shovld be made to restore their
dwindling nvmber. Ovt of this historical fact Pavl Gallico's roving
imagination has made a wonderfvlly entertaining story. The Rock Apes
(whose welfare has been the responsibility of the Royal Artilery since
1806) are in charge of one Captain Tim Bailey, thovgh it is Gvnner
Lovejoy who does all the dirty work, and whose biggest problem in
life, and the principal character in the book, is Scrvffy. This
amvsing story is a vniqve entertainment written with the inimitable
Gallico tovch. Pvblisher: The Reprint Society London Printed in Great
