    Another Ragbag Of Riches

    Following the original A Ragbag of Riches published in 2017, here is another bundle of funny, factual, thought provoking and charming entries to "mingle quiet music with amiable irreverance". Not just witty, pithy quips and quotations but a diverse collection that have caught the eye or ear of  James Chilton's enquiring mind and zany humour. Drawing from politians, scholars, artists, influential thinkers, jokers and the common man, from antiquity to the contemporary, they are partisan choices contributed to by Chilton's varied life as a soldier, traveller, singer, plantsman, author, painter, busnessman, designer and family man. It is the essence of the commonplace book but organised loosely into topics and enhanced by the sparkling illustrations of cartoonist Charlie Dunn. In addition and where possible, each author of the various entries has their dates added and a few relevant (and sometimes irrelevant) notes on their lives. From John Arlott to Boris Yeltsin (there is a useful index), from the trivial to the profound, from razor sharp criticism to poignant tributes, this is a book for all occasions. Each anecdote, musing, poem or prayer showcases humanity's variety. Whether to mine for speeches, to raise a smile in low moments, to inform or to entertain,  Another Ragbag of Riches  will provoke and delight. It is perfect for the bedside, for travel, for browsing and for present giving.

    Walt Handelsman is the recipient of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. His nationally syndicated editorial cartoons appear regularly in more than eighty-five newspapers around the country. Reprints of his pieces frequently appear in publications including USA Today, the New York Times, and Newsweek. But he is best known as the hometown cartoonist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, a post he has held since 1989. Now, the wit and political penmanship of this acclaimed artist can be found in a singular collection of his works, Political Gumbo.Covering international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, this gallery of Handelsman's cartoons is both pointed and poignant. He is able to cover world dramas, from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square, with incredible depth in a single frame. His humor shines well through his commentary on two presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, the campaigns.One hallmark of his work is the ability to bring news from Louisiana into the national editorial foreground. His caricatures of Louisiana notables, like Gov. Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke and their political antics, frequently make the op-ed pages outside of the state. His cartoons of Duke's defeat for the governorship in 1992 earned him the Sigma Delta Chi Headliner's Award, presented by the Society of Professional Journalists. He is also a two-time winner of the National Headliner's Club Award.

     A charming tale of the times when mom and dad stand on different sides of the same opinion – their child’s happiness 
    Explaining to your child that pops and moms lead separate lives of their own and sometimes have a bone to pick up with each other can be a tough challenge! 
    It gets even trickier when your young one starts to wonder why pops is not getting along with grandpa or his borthers. 
    Our main character Theo is a tween like everyone else – he is bored out of his mind at home and wants some adventure to shake up his monotonous school days. It’s when his parents decide to visit the castle of Monroe do things become a bit shaky. 
    “A Visit to Monroe” tells the story of the backstage life parents often hide from their children and the consequences when our secrets come to light. Though thin on the outside, this small tale of ordinary life teaches youngsters how to act according to their family virtues while still following their dreams and views on life. 
    A prayer on every page and invaluable life lessons throughout, you and your child will be equally enriched as you read him or her to sleep. 
    At times, we lack the basics for parenthood and so resort to fairytales, stories, and even professional help. Having one of these books by your side when a lesson must be taught will aid you when your own words fail you.

    Bowie - An Illustrated Life

    “An entertaining and informative glimpse of Bowie’s public and private life, music and disappearance from this earth.” —Shelf Media Group   David Bowie was a master of artifice and reinvention. In that same spirit, illustrator María Hesse and writer Fran Ruiz have created a vivid retelling of the life of David Robert Jones, from his working-class childhood to glam rock success to superstardom, concluding with the final recording sessions after his cancer diagnosis.   Narrated from the rock star’s point of view, Bowie colorfully renders both the personal and the professional turning points in a life marked by evolution and innovation. We see Bowie facing the sorrow of his brother’s mental illness, kicking a cocaine habit while other musicians succumbed to deadly overdoses, contending with a tumultuous love life, and radiating joy as a father. Along the way, he describes how he shattered the boundaries of song and society with a counterculture cast that included Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, and Freddie Mercury, as well as his own creations, Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke.   Evocatively illustrated from start to finish, Bowie is a stellar tribute to an inimitable star.  “While Bowie portrayed many larger-than-life characters in his music, this book attempts to turn Bowie himself into a similarly superhuman character, adding a few extra dashes of magic, wonder and awe into his already stunning life as an artist.” —Paste  “Beautifully illustrated . . . Not a ‘graphic biography’ but something more imaginative.” —Shepherd Express  “The art reflects a man consumed with himself as an evolving art project, at once self-absorbed and self-sacrificing, cooly aesthetic and curiously, lovably human.” —Publishers Weekly
