worst, the most or the least, the largest or the tiniest of just
about everything. Join author Bill Cannon as he reveals facts that

instance, no six but seven flags flew over Texas. In 1832 the

someone other than Sam Bass may be buried in his grave.

photographs, and other documentation of these and other
little-known bits of Texas history.

Very few carvers can carve animals and people with the same skill.
Fewer still can convincingly carve realistic figures and
caricatures. Tom Wolfe is one of them. Following his book on
carving realistic horses, he now he brings the same talent to bear
on caricature horses. As always, Tom takes the reader step-by-step
through the carving process, with each step illustrated with a
clear color photograph. From the blank to the finished painted
figure, everything a carver must do is clearly explained. In
addition to the standing horse project carved in the book, there
are patterns for other projects, a seated horse, a rocking horse,
and an Indian on horseback with a dog. A great book for carvers at
all levels of expertise.

The game of chess was wildly popular in the Middle Ages, so much so
that it became an important thought paradigm for thinkers and
writers who utilized its vocabulary and imagery for commentaries on
war, politics, love, and the social order. In this collection of
essays, scholars investigate chess texts from numerous traditions -
English, French, German, Latin, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and
Catalan - and argue that knowledge of chess is essential to
understanding medieval culture. Such knowledge, however, cannot
rely on the modern game, for today's rules were not developed until
the late fifteenth century. Only through familiarity with earlier
incarnations of the game can one fully appreciate the full import
of chess to medieval society. The careful scholarship contained in
this volume provides not only insight into the significance of
chess in medieval European culture but also opens up avenues of
inquiry for future work in this rich field.
A wonderfully stimulating collection of quizzes and puzzles based on the richly imaginative world of Thomas Hardy's six best-loved novels.
This Hardy-themed quiz book includes: crosswords based on love, song and dance and architecture; anagrams concealing the names of some of Hardy’s rustic characters; and wordsearches hiding the names of romantic protagonists.
Quizzes test your memory of his six best-loved novels: Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders, Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. Each quiz explores a different aspect - from proposals, faces and inns to relations, food and drink.
Hardy’s famous invented place-names feature in the Wessex Words puzzles and two mazes, ‘Jude’s Journey’ and ‘In the Footsteps of Tess’.
Included inside are charming line drawings from Donald Maxwell's The Landscape of Thomas Hardy, published in 1928, the year of Hardy’s death. The artist discussed the views his drawings depict with Hardy himself. The cover shows a wood engraving by English artist Vivien Massie Gribble, created for a 1926 edition of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
