In 2016, the Brontë Parsonage Museum announced that it tracked down a book filled with doodles and inscriptions by the Brontë children (including an unknown poem by Charlotte) that had once survived a shipwreck.Īnd now, a trove of Brontë family manuscripts - all but unseen for a century - will be auctioned by Sotheby’s as part of what the auction house is billing as the sale of a legendary “lost library” of British literature treasures. In 2011, a miniature book created by the 14-year-old Charlotte Brontë prompted a bidding war that climbed past $1 million. Brontë artifacts have a way of making dramatic reappearances. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I mention this not to suggest that this trick can't assist in learning, but to illustrate that while language is our primary means of labelling the world around us, the act of labelling is frequently (mostly?) an unconscious process. There's surprisingly little evidence of how effective this is, given how commonly it's recommended, but the thinking goes that if you encounter often enough a thing in tandem with the word for that thing, then the association will become ingrained in your brain. (Ingrained in your membrane.) It works better for some people than others, as always, but one of the principal drawbacks is that this isn't really how we use language for either thought or communication: How often do you look at a table and then consciously think "table?" How often do you look at a door and think, "That's a door?" If you've ever tried to learn another language, you've probably encountered the advice to attach labels to all the objects in a room which display those objects' names in the new language. ![]() ![]() ![]() What happened and who is to blame?

Leiber's capacity for endless self-reinvention and productive self-examination kept him, until his death, one of the most modern of his sf generation. Leiber's late short fiction, and the fine horror novel Our Lady of Darkness, combine autobiographical issues like his struggle with depression and alcoholism with meditations on the emotional content of the fantastic genres. Leiber's science fiction includes the planet-smashing The Wanderer in which a large cast mostly survive flood, fire, and the sexual attentions of feline aliens, and the satirical A Spectre is Haunting Texas in which a gangling, exo-skeleton-clad actor from the Moon leads a revolution and finds his true love. He found his mature voice early in the first of the sword-and-sorcery adventures featuring the large sensitive barbarian Fafhrd and the small street-smart-ish Gray Mouser he returned to this series at various points in his career, using it sometimes for farce and sometimes for gloomy mood pieces-The Swords of Lankhmar is perhaps the best single volume of their adventures. ![]() was one of the more interesting of the young writers who came into HP Lovecraft's orbit, and some of his best early short fiction is horror rather than sf or fantasy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seuss' Birthday book.īrad wrote a clever little rhyme inside, he's good like that. ![]() We started off with a handmade birthday invitation from Dr. Seuss, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish)īut, the truth was, I wasn't finding fun things for little kiddos.So I came up with some of my own.
