The Foxes have come up with their usual mixed bag this week – from forest fires to stroppy adolescents via a reworking of a wicked classic and a new biography of a much-loved author.
As there isn’t any discernible theme to the week, I’m using Monday’s review of a book about about the job of firewatching as a flimsy excuse to reproduce this gorgeous photograph of a red panda taken by Robin Ducker (aka Light Night on Flickr). The red panda is also known as the fire fox. (Geddit? Geddit? Fires? Foxes?)
Monday: One of Jackie’s fantasy jobs is a fire lookout in a National Park. Philip Connors’ book Fire Season shows her what it’s really like.
Tuesday: VL guest reviewer Kate Macdonald is back with a distinctly mixed review of Jennifer Kloester’s Georgette Heyer: Biography of a Bestseller.
Thursday: Lisa enjoys the fine wit of The New Devil’s Dictionary by Rhoda Koenig.
Friday: RosyB takes an admiring but questioning look at Jenn Ashworth’s portrait of dysfunctional adolescent girldom, Cold Light.
That red panda is so cuddly looking!
