Blog postMy back has been giving me grief the past few days. Today, though, it has been plain nasty. By the last lesson of the day, the spasms were so bad it was all I could do not to cry in front of my students. Then, as soon as most of the students had left the […]

Blog postSet in France during the first decades of the 19th century, this is a story of the struggles of the lower classes — the miserable, the dispossessed, and the dissatisfied. While many people in the 21st century know the story because of the highly popular and quite magnificent musical theatre show, most have never read […]

Blog postA favourite since my childhood, ‘The Wind in the Willows’ features Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger as the main characters in a delightful story about friendship and adventure. The stories are enchanting and memorable, conjuring images of rural England in days gone by. This is a wonderful book for children, and a great choice for […]

Blog postMany readers outside of Australia may not have heard of either this wonderful book or its author, but I would heartily recommend them to read it. ‘My Brilliant Career’ was the first Australian novel to be published. Franklin sent her manuscript to Henry Lawson, who liked it so much that he wrote a foreword and […]

Blog postThis is a beautiful, although sometimes bleak, story in which a horrid little girl grows up, makes friends, and becomes a nice person. Through her experiences, she also helps others to rebuild their lives and relationships, so it’s a happy ending for most of the characters. As things tend to go in novels, the unpleasant […]

Blog postWhile in Bendigo for the Tudors to Windsors exhibition this weekend, my best friend and I hatched a plan to take another trip soon. We want to visit Daylesford, a beautiful town renowned for its quirky shops and several vintage bookstores. My friend wasn’t travelling home with me today, though, as she had to […]

Blog postThis afternoon I visited the Bendigo Arr Gallery to see this amazing exhibition of royal portraits and memorabilia from the English royals dating from 1485 to the present day. In one way, it was a little surreal: I have seen these paintings in history books, and the more recent photographs were familiar because I had […]

Blog postThere are lots of vampire stories being written and read today, but ‘Dracula’ is where they all started. It’s classic Gothic horror in a story told through letters, diary entries, newspaper clippings in addition to the narrative, so it has multiple narrators. None of them have all the information and some are not even first-hand […]

Blog postBefore I write anything else, let me get one thing straight: contrary to widespread belief, Frankenstein is not the name of the monster. It’s the name of the scientist who created him. Frankenstein’s creature is never actually named at all in the book. ‘Frankenstein’ is a macabre Gothic story in which Frankenstein creates a monster from […]

Blog postWhen this book was published, Victorian audiences didn’t know what to make of it. It wasn’t the light, fluffy romance and romp that they were accustomed to. Instead, it was dark, violent, and stormy, and there was no happy ending for most of the characters. ‘Wuthering Heights’ is about love, but it’s not romantic. It’s […]
