The Time at Darwin's Reef is primarily a book of storytelling through mixed genres verse, prose, and painting. Brady's work is designed to draw out key dimensions of the poetics of anthropology and history embedded in creative writing in the mix and on the margins of verse and prose, painting and writing, fiction and fact to revisit the sometimes academically resistant idea that there is more than one way to say (and therefore to see) things. This is a poetic exploration of themes encountered in the academy's attempts to explicate reality, including travel through various cultures, times, and circumstances. The goal of this unique book is both analytic and aesthetic. It is also humanistic: a commentary on the human condition, of being and not being in a cross-cultural world. It will be of immediate interest to poets and writers who wish to explore anthropological poetics, to ethnographers and teachers of ethnographic method, and to instructors and students in creative and experimental writing."… (more)

The Happy Hollisters and the Whistle-Pig Mystery (Happy Hollisters, #28)
Like how this one starts out because I live near Foxboro where the main mysteries are located and the children and the clerk at their father's store will bring the kids and his sister to help find the wooden Indian statue.
Also a train had a robbery in the area that they hope to help solve also.
We also have ground hogs or woodchucks in our yard so interested how that end of things go...
Love description of the museum area as it also offers watching others do their jobs: blacksmiths, quilters etc. Love the signature square quilt my mother and myself have made them for ourselves.
Kids also find clues about the train robbers, not sure how they do it all the time but they do. Love the sketches. ( )

So fun, so different. A tale of smart children solving mysteries and having adventures. ( )

Los Hollister es la serie de libros que me inició definitivamente en la lectura. Recuerdo haber leído el primero y, con todo el dinero que había ahorrado por mi primera comunión y en todos los años anteriores, ir a por los 32 restantes, que costaban 600 pelas cada uno. Los compré todos en la feria del libro de Ceuta, lo recuerdo perfectamente, y volví a mi casa con dos bolsas y una mochila llenas de libros, que me duraron tres meses exactamente, para sorpresa/preocupación de mi madre.
Cada libro es el mismo, con aventuras algo diferentes, y con los mismo personajes, que no evolucionan nada en toda la serie. Pete, Pam, Holly, Ricky, Sue, puedo recitar sus nombres treinta años después sin consultarlo. Yo siempre fui de los Hollister, despreciando a quieres eran de los siete secretos, los Cinco o (puaj) Puck.
Junto a Mortadelo, los tres investigadores de Alfred Hitchcock y (a petición de mi padre) las aventuras de Guillermo, comenzaron a formar mi universo lector. Y por ello, aunque sean libros de lo más intrascendente, los considero fundamentales. ( )
