While television today is taken for granted, Americans in the 1950s
faced the challenge of negotiating the new medium's place in the
home and in American culture in general. Protestant leaders--both
mainstream and evangelical--began to think carefully about what
television meant for their communities and its potential impact on
their work. Using the American Protestant experience of the
introduction of television, Rosenthal illustrates the importance of
the interplay between a new medium and its users in an engaging
book suitable for general readers and students alike.

The Happy Tale of Two Cats traces the lives of two felines who
happen to live "in the very same town, on the very same street,"
but who share very different lives with their families. The happy
cat has lots of playtime and daily interaction with her family. The
unhappy cat spends most of her time alone often getting "yelled at
for just being a cat." These comparisons give way to hope when the
unhappy cat is rescued by a "kind lady" from the animal shelter who
helps her find a new "family to love." The Happy Tale of Two Cats
tells a simple story that makes it easy for children to understand
what every cat needs to be healthy and happy in their home. Every
cat deserves to be this happy.
The Lucky Tale of Two Dogs traces the lives of two dogs who happen
to live "in the very same town, on the very same street," but who
share very different lives with their families. The lucky dog has
lots of daily interaction with his family, from playtime to walks
around the neighborhood. The unlucky dog spends most of his time
alone in the backyard "rarely hearing a friendly voice." These
comparisons give way to hope when the unlucky dog meets a "kind
lady" from the animal shelter who helps him find a new "family to
love." The Lucky Tale of Two Dogs tells a simple story that makes
it easy for children to understand what dogs need to be healthy and
happy. Every dog should be so lucky.

The Indian proverb that inspired the title of Rumer Godden's third
(and, to date, final) memoir, published in 1989, likens people to
houses with four rooms, each of which represents a primary aspect
of the self: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. "Most of us",
Godden writes, "tend to live in one room most of the time, but
unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it
aired, we are not a complete person". In her art as well as her
life, Godden has placed a high value on personal striving for
completion, that is, for the discovery of the real and mature self.
Lynne Rosenthal, in this study of Godden's fiction for children and
adults, shows how her dozens of works in both genres explore the
"variety of experiences in which self-transformation occurs through
an act of will". The focus of Rosenthal's study is the figure of
the child, which Godden uses in her fiction "as a powerful
mirroring image, reflecting many of society's most profound fears,
struggles, and hopes for redemption". Godden returns again and
again in her work to the theme of the conflicting needs of children
and adults. Her contemplation of this theme - particularly as it
relates to the female artist and mother - predates the feminist
fiction writers and critics who emerged in the early 1970s.
Sympathetic from personal experience to the needs of both
conflicted parent and dependent child, Godden arrives at no easy
resolution of the problem. She is thoroughly sensitive to the
suffering caused in children by parental neglect, yet,
surprisingly, she often shows the absence of a parent to be
ultimately liberating, freeing a child to undertake the journey
toward completion that Godden so values. In adultnovels such as An
Episode of Sparrows, The Greengage Summer, and Pippa Passes, and
even more consistently in such books for children as The Diddakoi,
The Dolls' House, Mouse House, and Thursday's Children, the
independent struggle for personal fulfillment is rewarded.
