Author Peter Bacho, a two-time winner of the American Book Award, explores themes of belief/disbelief, arrival/departure, and love/violence, through which he achieves a portrait of embodied strength in his protagonist.

A book festival is a series of one-time, unique events which builds community and sparks the imagination of its attendees as they interact with the participating authors and illustrators who have contributed to our literary culture and are all gathered in one place on the same day. Most book festivals are open to the public for free, so it is necessary to obtain presenters who are willing to come for free or possibly for just reasonable travel expenses, including a keynote speaker if there is one. Since a book festival is planned from the ground up, listed below are the areas that will help in organizing one. None of them are mutually exclusive of the others. Each item will be addressed within the toolkit.

    BOOKS & PRINTS FROM THE COLLECTION OF ARTHUR & CHARLOTTE VERSHBOW RIVERRUN BOOKS & MANUSCRIPTS CATALOGUE TWO no. 20 2 BOOKS & PRINTS FROM THE COLLECTION OF ARTHUR & CHARLOTTE VERSHBOW The Middle Ages & The Renaissance (nos. 1-33) The Baroque & The Rococo Periods (nos. 34-93) The Neoclassical, Romantic & Modern Movements (nos. 94-123) RIVERRUN BOOKS & MANUSCRIPTS CATALOGUE TWO The Middle Ages & The Renaissance Purchased, completed, and illuminated by Denis Faucher 1 BOOK OF HOURS, use of Rome, in Latin and French. ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM. [West-central France, late-15th century and southern France circa 1550]. This remarkable manuscript was purchased, completed and illuminated by Denis Faucher (1487-1562), and is made up of two distinct components: the frst part, pages 1-318, is a Book of Hours written in the 15th century, while pages 320-386 were added around the middle of the 16th century. With, possibly, a few minor exceptions the entire manuscript was illuminated at the later date. The presence of Sts. Leodegar and Radegund in the Litany may indicate that the 15th-century unilluminated manuscript was intended for Poitiers (Vienne). Illumination: The historian Vincentius Barrali drew attention to Faucher’s artistic skill and wrote, “among the foremost works of art of the aforementioned Denis is a book of hours written and delicately adorned with wondrous paintings by Denis’ own hand.” He goes on to quote the note dated 9 April 1554 of the present manuscript. It is quite evident that the principal portion of the manuscript was written in the 15th-century and acquired by Faucher in an unillustrated and undecorated state.
