The Desert Peach #27: New and Different [Comic]

Donna Barr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 1997

The Peach arrives in Africa -- and decides he just has to be himself. How the man got that way. And where he got that scarf, those gloves -- and that earring!

Includes a culturally rich stroll through the souk, one of the wonderful mysterious marketplaces of the North African desert. The pink ribbon on the riding crop is, of course, all Rommel's fault.

Review

What we have seen so far is enough to assure us that good taste and decorum will be at least attempted, that... Donna Barr will continue to show us events, through an arrangement of mirrors so elaborate that we can never know for sure at whom we are looking, never be sure at whom we are pointing when we say Ecce homo!' (Daniel Pinkwater, Regular Contributor, National Public Radio)

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Best Dressed Man's" fashion cordinator, April 9, 2000

This review is from: The Desert Peach #27: New and Different (Comic)

Time Magazine voted Rommel "The Desert Fox" as the century's "Best Dressed Man" but, we know who was picking out his daily ensembles, his pretty younger brother the 'cheerful' "Desert Peach". "The Desert Peach", lovely Fruit of the sands never fails to amuse and this is a wonderful introduction to him. As his "origin story" I can think of no better way to start the "Peach" series. Plus, its a good "coming out" story. The author has great command of history, horses, military life and German culture (she should, she's a German American who met her husband while serving in the Army and is also an acomplished horsewoman)and I give her extra points for her German-to-English footnotes and historical humor. Proving she's not only witty but, also intelligent. So, to those who already know the "Peach", here's a look back at the good old, bad old days. And to those who've not yet met him, here's a fine how-do-ya-do. Enjoy!
