It’s as if the air could breathe and it breathes a trembling gasp of his name, with all that laid their eyes on this sight I see. It is he that has caused this silence and chocked the breath out of an entire room. But it is he that stands center and strong that confirms my suspicions. Turning, I slowly raise my head up and look upon the three gentlemen, dressed in dark suits and letting the hoods of their coats fall back and reveal expressions of pure - desired annihilation. As hard as I fight my own curiosity I can’t stop myself, with all the assuredness in my head I still have to prove it to my own eyes. Before I can turn I whisper his name and feel the energy of him blaze up my body as if the simple whisper of his name makes it true, makes him true. A vibration rushes through my body, I look up at the judge as his eyes widen and a cold silence takes hold of the room. The argument for my bail begins, and I lower my head until the doors behind me crash open with a thunderous roar. Margaret Leaf recalls in her home in Garrett Park, Md. Lawson fell in love with it at once and began the picture book's "dummy" that evening. Within 40 minutes, Leaf had the manuscript ready to show his friend. And the story had to be funny, so Leaf made his bull a gentle beast who prefers to sit in the shade of a cork tree and smell the flowers.Īs with so many classics of children's literature, The Story of Ferdinand seemed to write itself. He called his hero Ferdinand, from Ferdinand and Isabella, the only Spanish names the writer knew. Although he had never been there and had never seen a bullfight himself, Leaf set his fable in far-off Spain. He finally settled on the story of a bull. He could draw animals beautifully, but cats, dogs, horses were everywhere in the picture books of the day. The new story had to be tailor-made to Lawson's special talents. He had had only slight success so far as an illustrator for juveniles and was struggling to live off his fine etchings. Munro Leaf had already written two books for boys and girls with his own pictures, but for some time he had wanted to come up with one for his friend Robert Lawson.

How likely, really, would it be that Thomas Lynley, the eighth Earl of Asherton, wealthy, aristocratic, would find himself a detective inspector at The New Scotland Yard? In the real world, it is doubtful that his sidekick Sergeant Barbara Havers, frumpy, always sloppily and inappropriately dressed, intransigent, constantly in hot water with her superior officers, working sometimes outside the law, would have sustained her career for any length of time. She has consistently displayed her gifts for creating round characters, despite the fact that when she initially presented the central characters, who have endured through eighteen books over twenty-five years, she had all but sealed these characters into a box of incredulity. Inside of it, she has, through the years, dealt sympathetically and sternly with social and moral issues. Reading George, one gets the notion that if she were to set her mind to it, she could accomplish substantive literature outside the confines of the murder mystery. As a prose writer, even the renowned Agatha Christie is pedestrian. As fun as it may be to read Sue Grafton, her writing style is proficient at best. What distinguishes Elizabeth George from most if not all of her colleagues in the business of writing serial detective fiction is that she is a strong and compelling wordsmith. She lives with her husband and three children in the Austin, Texas area. She is a founding member of The Pelican Project.
