  The story of Harry Houdini begins far from the glamour of theater stages and the awe-inspiring feats of magic that would later define his life. Born as Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, he was the fourth of seven children in a Jewish family facing the challenges of poverty. When Erik was four, his family emigrated to the United States, settling first in Appleton, Wisconsin. His father, Mayer Samuel Weisz, served as a rabbi, but his inability to sustain steady work placed the family in a constant struggle for survival. 
  Young Erik exhibited an early fascination with performing, often entertaining his siblings and friends with acrobatics, mimicry, and sleight of hand. Despite their financial hardships, his parents encouraged his creative pursuits, instilling in him a strong sense of discipline and perseverance. These qualities would prove instrumental in shaping his future. 
  In 1887, when Erik was just 13 years old, his father passed away, leaving the family in an even more precarious position. To support his mother and siblings, Erik took on various odd jobs, including working as a shoe polisher and messenger. Despite his responsibilities, he found time to nurture his growing interest in magic and illusion, which he discovered through books and local performers.

  Notes from an Island

  From a renowned artist and writer, a deeply personal nature journal that includes sketches from her romantic partner, artist Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä. In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her bestselling novel The Summer Book and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin. Tove's signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti's subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. Notes from an Island is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.Includes a companion PDF of images from the print edition.
