Product Description

From the serious to the ridiculous and the whimsical to the lyrical, tucked away in these pages you can find essays and poetry to enlighten and entertain, to make you chuckle…or perhaps even weep.

About the Author

I live in Virginia, have blue eyes, and am owned by a possessive cat. I find animal behavior and the human condition fascinating. Writing is a way of life and I write because I cannot help it, trying to paint my mind pictures in words for others to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously funny and thoughful, January 12, 2006

By	Charles Forrest - See all my reviews

It was great fun reading this book. I have seldom seen essays and poetry mixed so appropriately and the subjects covered are unique and present a wonderful variety. Especially the essays on "All about Eve" and "Penis Envy" deserve a re-read. And if the concluding article on "Once I met a King - A True Vignette" doesn't touch you, you need help! This book will make a great present to many of my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, January 12, 2006

By	P. Worthen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All About Eve and Other Things is for sure a delightful and thought inspiring. Ms. Bradford surely makes a person laugh and stop and think about the world around them. I am still laughing about the Dragon Known as Dark. I will recommend this book to all my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life through a new pair of glasses, January 10, 2006

By	William Madden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Adelle Bradford is a true word artist, with the ability to paint vivid, clear, and distinct pictures on the canvas of our minds. In "All About Eve and Other Things" Adelle uses these illustrations to stretch our minds and make us think about things as we peer through lenses, ground with clever wit and hard facts, that correct for the stigmatism of life's influences. The moment I set this book down, I took a deep cleansing breath; rose; took a step; performed a classic double take and swiftly moved to pick it up again. Ms. Bradford's writing is truly a waft of fresh new air, in a world desperate for new perspectives.
