"...no explanation, no logical coherence..." @katehandheld #ENesbit

The indie publisher Handheld Press has made regular appearances on the Ramblings, as I’m a real fan of their beautifully produced books. As well as reprinted fiction, they’ve also released anthologies, biographies, nature writing, fantasy/sci fi and crime titles, to name just a few. Sadly, Handheld is coming to a close later this year, which is a huge shame; but they’re certainly going out with a…

Continuing on with my series of #booksthatmademe as a writer and reader, here’s two more: Edward Eager’s HALF MAGIC and SEVEN-DAY MAGIC. I grew up on epic high fantasy and portal fantasy, but it was these books that first convinced me of the pleasure of “low” fantasy — that is, magical creatures and adventures coming into the modern, mundane world. . It’s impossible to talk about Eager without giving due respect to his British predecessor E. Nesbit, whose books I also read and loved as a child, and who was — by his own frank admission — Eager’s chief influence. But although his plots were often borrowed from Nesbit’s, Eager has a light touch and a sparkling sense of humour that is quintessentially his own, as well as a reflection of both his American background and the decade of the 1950’s in which he wrote. . There’s something irresistibly sunny and optimistic about Eager’s books, even though his child characters are by no means idealized — they can be stubborn, fearful and prone to squabbling as any normal group of children. But although the kids inevitably get themselves into disaster by playing with the magical artifacts they encounter — like a coin that grants only half of what you wish for, or a library book that offers you a new magical adventure every day for a week — the solution to their problems is usually only a few good deeds away. . And even the disasters are usually hilarious. It always makes me smile to read the “Chickadee tidbit, chickadee tidbit, skedaddle skedaddle pow!” episode in SEVEN-DAY MAGIC, and especially the chapter in HALF MAGIC when Martha tries to cure Carrie the cat of half-talking (“Sick!” said Carrie the cat. “Sick sick sick sick sick.”). . Have you read any of Eager’s books? What scenes and characters stood out for you? . . . . #bookstagram #bookish #BookRecommendations #kidsbooks #childrensliterature #kidlit #MGlit #MGbooks #middlegrademarch #enesbit #edwardeager #sevendaymagic #halfmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B-F_fHWgOji/?igshid=1l2697uqylm0d

A truly frightening offering for the #13BooksofHalloween countdown today: you might be surprised to learn that #ENesbit beloved author of #therailwaychildren, #fivechildrenandit, and other favorites, penned a series of dark and haunting #ghoststories for grown-ups; the very best of which are collected here in this anthology from @penguinukbooks with an introduction from @naomi_alderman. "Lurking in the background are dead children, thwarted love, jealousy, vengeance, and the sense that even the best kind of love - the famous love that never falters, the love that pays the price - has something dark within it" - @guardian 💀���🕸🕷🎃🦇#allhallowsread #bumpinthenight #spooky #halloweenbooks #scarybooksforadults #haunting #needtoread #classichorror #horror #thepower #disobediance #naomialderman #scary #creepy #chills #horrorstories #coverart (at Chicago, Illinois)

The Good-Morrow I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then, But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the seven sleepers’ den? ’Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be. If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee. And now good morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear; For love all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room an everywhere. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, Let maps to others, worlds on worlds have shown: Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp North, without declining West? Whatever dies was not mixed equally; If our two loves be one, or thou and I Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die. . . .
