This volume brings together John Oates studies on English printing,
and the collection at Cambridge University Library, to which he
devoted his career. It contains fifteen studies on English printing
between the filteenth and the eighteenth centuries, and eleven
studies on the collection of Cambridge University Library. Three
further studies reflect his interest in Sterne, which began as a
hobby, and on whom he formed a collection of international repute.
The publication of these papers in collected form provides a
fitting memorial to a lifetime s work on English printing, and a
career as one of the great scholar-librarians of modem times in
England. There is a preface by Dennis Rhodes, who has also
contributed a bibliography of John Oates publications.
"What if John Henry had a son?"
Twelve-year-old Ray is haunted by the strangest memories of his
father, whom Ray swears could speak to animals. Now an orphan, Ray
jumps from a train going through the American South and falls in
with a medicine show train and its stable of sideshow performers.
The performers turn out to be heroes, defenders of the wild,
including the son of John Henry. They are hiding the last of the
mythical Swamp Sirens from an ancient evil known as the Gog. Why
the Gog wants the Siren, they can't be sure, but they know it has
something to do with rebuilding a monstrous machine that John Henry
gave his life destroying years before, a machine that will allow
the Gog to control the will of men and spread darkness throughout
the world.
