Synopsis

In 'Jim and Wally,' Mary Grant Bruce crafts a tender yet riveting narrative that illuminates the bonds of friendship and the challenges of growing up in a rural Australian setting. The story unfolds through the eyes of two boys whose camaraderie is tested by both environmental hardships and the complexities of adolescence. Bruce's vivid descriptions and masterful dialogue immerse readers in the quaint yet harsh realities of early 20th-century Australia, offering a poignant portrayal of resilience and loyalty against the backdrop of a changing landscape. Mary Grant Bruce, a novelist deeply rooted in the Australian ethos, drew from her own experiences in the rural heartland to shape her characters and their journeys. Born in 1876, her literary career was framed by her keen observations of nature and community life, leading her to create stories that resonate with authenticity. Bruce's dedication to showcasing the Australian bush and its impact on human relationships is evident, making her an important yet often overlooked figure in Australian literature. Readers seeking a nostalgia-tinged exploration of friendship and the trials of youth will find 'Jim and Wally' a compelling addition to their literary repertoire. Bruce's ability to blend emotional depth with a keen sense of place makes this novel not only a story of two boys but an evocative reflection on the universal challenges of growing up.

    S as in Zebatinsky - The Spy Who...

    S as in Zebatinsky by Isaac Asimov -  A mysterious name keeps surfacing in top-secret reports—Zebatinsky—yet no one knows who he is or why he matters. 
    Marshall Zebatinsky felt foolish. He felt as though there were eyes staring through the grimy storefront glass and across the scarred wooden partition; eyes watching him. He felt no confidence in the old clothes he had resurrected or the turned-down brim of a hat he never otherwise wore or the glasses he had left in their case.  
    He felt foolish and it made the lines in his forehead deeрer and his young-old face a little paler.  
    He would never be able to explain to anyone why a nuclear physicist such as himself should visit a numerologist. (Never, he thought. Never.) Hell, he could not еxplain it to himself except that he had let his wife talk him into it.  
    The numerologist sat behind an old desk that must have been second-hand when bought. No desk could get that old with only one owner. The same might almost be said of his clothes. He was little and dark and peered at Zebatinsky with little dark eyes that were brightly alive.  
    He said, "I have never had a physicist for a client before, Dr. Zebatinsky."  
    Zebatinsky flushed at once. "You understand this is confidential."  
    The numerologist smiled so that wrinkles creased about the corners of his mouth and the skin around his chin stretched. "All my dealings are confidential."  
    Zebatinsky said, "I think I ought to tell you one thing. I don't believe in numerology and I don't expect to begin believing in it. If that makes a difference, say so now."  
    "But why are you here, then?" " 
    My wife thinks you may have something, whatever it is. I promised her and I am here."

    "I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree; 
    A tree whose hungry mouth is presd against the sweet earth's flowing breast ...". 
    Almost all of us, including myself of course, have heard and enjoyed those famous words which begin Kilmer's poem, Trees. There is even a National Forest in the United States named in honor of this poem. Here is a recording of this poem along with other poems in the volume in which it was first published in 1914. Joyce Kilmer was an American writer and poet mainly remembered for this short poem but he was a prolific poet whose works celebrated the common beauty of the natural world as well as his Roman Catholic religious faith, Kilmer was also a journalist, literary critic, lecturer, and editor. While most of his works are largely unknown, a select few of his poems remain popular and are published frequently in anthologies. 
    At the time of his deployment to Europe during World War I (1914–1918), Kilmer was considered the leading American Roman Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, whom critics often compared to British contemporaries G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc . He enlisted in the New York National Guard and was deployed to France with the 69th Infantry Regiment (the famous "Fighting 69th") in 1917. He was killed by a sniper's bullet at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918 at the age of 31. He was married to Aline Murray, who later became a poet and author in her own right, with whom he had five children.
