  Alexander Woollcott called Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "the man who wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language." Besides his many stories, Lewis Carroll wrote nonsensical poems. Eleven of his poems appear here, the most famous of which being Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and The Hunting of the Snark. Narrator Griffin Rogers recorded Jabberwocky as a Christmas present for his son before spending the next several years recording additional nonsense whenever he was able to find an unlocked window and sneak into a recording studio. (If that sounds like a lot of nonsense to you, you will love this audiobook - and so will your children.)

  Pieces of a Broken Mind is the raw and honest portrayal of Richard Bryght, a struggling Seattle writer with dreams too big for a single lifetime—navigating love, loss, and the pursuit of artistic fulfillment. Haunted by a past relationship and his mother's mental decline into Alzheimer's. Then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises—to turn his self-published book into a movie. Richard embarks on a transformative leap of faith, with his best friend Danny by his side and his mother's blessings, leaving Seattle behind to move to the City of Angels and chase his dreams.This gritty story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of fame and the creative process in a new city filled with distractions. Through Richard's eyes, we experience a broken and beautiful world where contradictions and paradoxes intertwine. As Richard struggles with the pressures of success and battles his inner demons—he finds himself lost in a sea of self-destruction, searching for solace in drugs and casual relationships with adult film stars.Beyond being a captivating story, Pieces of a Broken Mind serves as a love letter to Los Angeles, the pursuit of dreams, the written word, and the resilience to never give up. It's a reminder that no matter how broken we may feel, we all have the ability to pick up the pieces and create something beautiful.

  Playing Lear - An insider's...

  A unique insight into Shakespeare's most monumentally complex character - and the play that bears his name - from a highly respected actor and former academic.
  The genesis for Playing Lear came when Oliver Ford Davies was asked to play Lear for the Almeida Theatre in 2002. The book is both an in-depth analysis of the play, in which the author looks at the many possible interpretations of both play and character, and a rehearsal diary in which we see the author's personal journey through the role, starting with his re-examination of the text and culminating in the first night performance and beyond.
  Playing Lear comes with 16 pages of production photographs, and is written with great clarity and perception and with all the rigour and authority one would expect from a former academic and drama critic.
  'Of the many books I have read about acting Shakespeare, this is one of the most intelligent and honest' John Barton
  'One of the most moving and intelligent Lears I have ever seen ... such truth, and such clarity, that one feels like cheering' Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
