Katharina. A fairytale by S. D. White Katharina, the eighth child of a sorrowful widower, has been chosen to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. The only one that knows about this though, is Nezebel, the Lady Evil; who's on her way to the home of the sorrowful widower because she's just been informed by her wicked servants whom she's converted into black birds that can fly high above the heavens, and hear everything that the voice of God says, that one day soon, the voice of God, will whisper the direct way to the Kingdom of Heaven in Katharina's ears! Katharina's ears are clean! Clean, because they've never heard evil things. So she'll clearly hear the voice of God that just wants to give her the direction to the secret path of footprints that lead to the gate that guards the spiral stairs that go all the way up, up, up, and up to the Kingdom of Heaven. Certainly, Nezebel is furious, and that's why she quickens her pace to the home of the sorrowful widower DISGUISED AS A POOR WIDOW. An adventure that must be read aloud! Because too soon.

At the heart of this study lies an illustrated catalogue of over 2,200 clay pipes dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the majority of which are held in Yorkshire collections. The size and topographical range of Yorkshire ensures the county's suitability as a case study for examining pipe production as well as regional variations and trade. The extensive catalogue is preceded by a discussion of the methodology of studying clay pipes, the documentary evidence for kiln sites and production, Yorkshire clay sources, the development of the bowl form, the stem, the range of marks, the distribution and the archaeological evidence for imported pipes. Lists of pipemakers and associated documents and inventories are presented in appendices.
