Editorial: Winter Goose Publishing
Winter Dress is a stunningly poignant collection of prose and poetry that reveals brokenness and embraces threads of love, sex, family and the desire to find freedom.
Novelists stake their claim as artists on works that encapsulate a whole world of characters and narrative across many, usually hundreds of pages. Some also take in other disciplines; plays, short stories, essays but many have also written poetry. For some it is even their first love but for their audience it is too often forgotten; relegated behind their longer works. Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, The Brontes, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy are but a few of our illustrious authors who here reveal works every bit as tender, as expansive and just as good as their longer forms of work. Each would make a fine poet in their own right. We’re glad to be able to bring you another side to these incredible talents. Our readers include Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe.Ver libro

Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was a popular character appearing regularly on The Fibber McGee & Molly Show. On August 31, 1941, the character landed his own situation comedy show, The Great Gildersleeve, becoming radio’s first spin-off. Gildy moved from the town of Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where he raised his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie (Lillian Randolph). The Great Gildersleeve was the first show to be centered on a single parent balancing raising children, work, and a social life, accomplished with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's slightly understated pomposity. Radio veteran, Hal Peary originated the role of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve but left the series at the height of its popularity in 1950 giving way to Peary-sound-a-like and well-known character actor, Willard Waterman. Waterman continued in the radio role until 1957 and also played Gildersleeve in a TV version syndicated in 1955. Now, enjoy 12 half-hour comedy episodes of The Great Gildersleeve starring Willard Waterman. 2/14/51 “Leroy is Behaving Too Well” 2/21/51 “Marjorie Gives Birth to Twins” 2/28/51 “Trying to Name the Twins” 3/7/51 “Marjorie and the Twins Come Home” 3/14/51 “Deciding Between The Jolly Boys or a Date” 3/21/51 “Bronco Tries to Run the House” 3/28/51 “Gildy and Leroy Babysit the Twins” 5/2/51 “Spring Cleaning Judge Hooker’s House” 5/9/51 “Marjorie and Bronco’s First Anniversary” 5/16/51 “Boating Date with Kathryn” 5/23/51 “Bronco’s Family Visits – The Twins are Named” 5/30/51 “Leaving on Vacation to Half Moon Lake”Ver libro
