  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

  • Camden History Review and Camden History Society Newsletter
    Welcome to the Index for the Camden History Review and Camden History Society Newsletter compiled and maintained by David Hayes This index covers the annual Camden History Review, volumes 1 to 44 and the bimonthly Camden History Society Newsletter, issues 1 to 302. It covers the span of these serial publications from May 1970 to end of 2020. What is included? This index is intended to help those researching aspects of Camden’s local history. Excluded, therefore, are subjects that lack any direct association with the Camden area. Included in the index are: Streets, localities, buildings, organisations and institutions located within, or adjacent to, the London Borough of Camden or the former Metropolitan Boroughs of Hampstead, Holborn and St Pancras; People having a direct connection with Camden, whether through residence or work; as visitors, performers at local venues, landlords, or architects of local buildings; or as grave occupants; Generic topics (e.g. theatres) treated within a Camden context. Newsletter notices and reviews of talks, walks, outings, exhibitions and books are indexed only where they include local historical detail of potential use to researchers. Items relating wholly to the Society’s domestic business are not indexed. All references to a subject, however brief, are included on this index. Articles devoted wholly or substantially to a subject are indicated by the symbol How does it work? Key N indicates the Newsletter issue number; e.g. N65, * illustration included 144 means Newsletters 65 † map or plan and 144.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov. I have been writing short stories for fifty-one years and I haven't yet quit. In addition to the hundreds of short stories I have published, there are at least a dozen in press waiting to be published, and two stories written and not yet submitted. So I have by no means retired. There is, however, no way one can publish short stories for this length of time without understanding that the time left to him is limited. In the words of the song: "Forevermore is shorter than before." It is time, therefore, for Doubleday to pull the strings together and get all my fiction-short stories and novels, too-into a definitive form and in uniform bindings, both in hard and soft covers. It may sound conceited of me to say so (I am frequently accused of being conceited), but my fiction generally has been popular from the start and has continued to be well received through the years. To locate any one story, however, that you no longer have and wish you did, or to find one you have heard about but have missed is no easy task. My stories appeared originally in any one of many magazines, the original issues of which are all but unobtainable. They then appeared in any of a multiplicity of anthologies and collections, copies of which are almost as unobtainable. It is Doubleday's intention to make this multivolume collection definitive and uniform in the hope that the science fiction public, the mystery public (for my many mysteries will also be collected), and libraries as well will seize upon them ravenously and clear their book shelves to make room for Isaac Asimav: The Complete Stories.

The colours are those that have resonated well with me and depict the taha hinegaro – emotional (blue), aroha – love (pink), huarahi whakaaro – healing (green), and wairua – spiritual (purple).
