One night there was a thunderstorm.A tattered scarecrow stood in the wind and rain,taking no notice . . . until a bolt of lightning struck his turnip head.The scarecrow blinked with surprise and came to life.So begins the story of the Scarecrow,a courteous but pea- brained fellow with grand ideas.He meets a boy,Jack,who becomes his faithful servant.Leaving behind his usual bird- scaring duties,the Scarecrow sets out for Spring Valley,with Jack at his side.Along the way there's no end of excitement, not least avoiding the many members of the crooked Buffaloni family.As the valiant Scarecrow plunges them into terrifying dangers - battle and shipwreck,brigands and tricksters - it's up to Jack time after time to save the day.A dramatic tale full of twists and turns,surprises and silliness - just as one would expect from one of the most consummate storytellers writing today. Peter Bailey born 1946 in India and moved to London aged 4.His father was an attendant at the V & Albert Museum, London,which influenced his early drawing skills and interests.He studied Illustration at the Brighton School of Art and subsequently started his career as a freelance illustrator.After some five years,he started teaching illustration at Liverpool Art School and co-ordinated the course for many years until he left in 1997.

black white text a5 garage R: Routledge, 1992. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. Paperback - 1992 - good condition, slight musty smell. The years 1989 and 1990 will probably be best remembered for the speed and breadth of political and economic change which swept through the former Communist Bloc. With the disintegration of this bloc, Western advice has focused on how to "democratize" economy and policy in these societies. Women in the Face of Change is one of the first efforts to examine the implications of this change for the millions of women who have toiled for decades alongside men in the factories and fields while managing the needs of the home. This collection, which draws from women in both Eastern and Western Europe, and China, poses many questions about the impact of change. It contributes to the debate that seeks to combat inertia and ethnocentrism within western feminism and also to the separate and critical "women's voice" which is re-emerging in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China., Routledge, 1992, 2.5, Garage pale blue a5: Doubleday, 2004. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition, shows little signs of being read. 2004 Doubleday edition. Old Mr. Pandolfo, feeling that life is getting too difficult; what with troublesome weather, troublesome soldiers, and very troublesome cousins decides the time has come to create a scarecrow. At least a scarecrow would take care of the birds. Mr. Pandolfo creates a fine scarecrow, indeed, with a large turnip for a head, a broomstick for a backbone, dressed in a tweed suit stuffed with straw. Hidden within it, carefully wrapped in oilskin, is a mysterious letter. But how can this extraordinary creature who comes to life when struck by a bolt of lightning fulfill his destiny if he's stuck out in the middle of a field? Enter Jack, an enterprising, intelligent, and practical young orphan fleeing the soldiers who robbed him of home and family. Jack's motto, It could be worse, comes in handy as he agrees to become the servant of the rather egocentric scarecrow, setting off to find excitement and glory. Scarecrow's excellent opinion of himself sets the stage for a variety of silly, yet dangerous, adventures. Run-ins with government officials, soldiers, and unscrupulous business people provide plenty of opportunities for moralizing on the evils of society. In another setting, this story line might seem over-the-top, but Pullman's clever employment of fairy-tale conventions, his superb use of language, and his engaging dialogue make it a wholly satisfying yarn of ridiculous proportions, and Bailey's line drawings provide just the right feeling of long ago that every good fairy tale deserves. - .
