Since his now famous appearance on the literary stage in 1968 novelist, playwright and poet, Peter Handke has remained on the forefront of the literary vanguard, having earned the praise and recognition of critics in Europe and North America alike. In fact, in a review essay of September 2000, "The New York Review of Books" called him "the premier prose stylist in the German language, and one of post-war Europe's most recognisable literary figures." Since the publication of his early theatrical works, Handke has gone on to publish over twenty-five prose novels, as well as additional works for the theatre, collections of poetry, diaries and essays. His works have ranged in style from the French influenced nouveau roman of the late 1960s to works characteristic of the New Subjectivity movement in West Germany in the 1970s, while his novels and stories of the 1980s and 1990s exhibited a new-found appreciation for narrative and issues of storytelling. He has also published a series of polemical essays on the war in Yugoslavia which have been criticised severely by scholars and intellectuals.;This collection of fourteen essays focuses both on the genres in which Handke has written, as well as on the thematic aspects of his work.

To know Puss Junior once is to love him forever That's the way everyone feels about this adventurous cat who is the son of a very famous father, Puss in Boots. In the Puss in Boots, Jr series of ten books written by David Cory and originally published in 1917-1922, Puss Junior discovers that he is the son of the illustrious Puss in Boots and he begins a journey across Mother Goose Land to find his famous father. Along the way, Puss Junior meets characters from children's fiction and nursery rhymes, helps the weak and downtrodden, and learns something about life from everyone he meets. Puss Junior actually finds his father in Book Two, but the books were so popular that David Cory continued to write eight more adventures. In Book 10, Puss Junior flies with Mother Goose on her Gander, meets Tommy Tittle Mouse, ten Boy Scouts, Dr. Austen, Cinderella, Little Nannie Ettigoat, and Yankee Doodle Dandy. He travels to Babylon, Boston, and the Moon. He makes a speech, swordfights a bully, and tells stories by the fireplace. And, of course, Puss Junior meets the Man in the Moon. The original illustrations by Elizabeth Babcock are included in the stories, enlarged so they can be colored with colored pencils or crayons. The Puss in Boots, Jr books are lovely reminders that simple words can awaken the imaginations of children and adults alike, just as they did one hundred years ago. The original stories have been edited to change archaic words and references. Reading level is second grade but much younger children will enjoy hearing the stories read to them.

"Stop right here," said the red rooster, "and I'll get out and buy you a bag of candy." And when he came back he had four bags of candy. Just think of that! In one bag was sugar-coated carrots for Billy Bunny, and another bag was full of candied carrots for Uncle Lucky, and in the bag he gave to Mrs. Mousie were two little chocolate mice.
