There, Jay connects with a culture he barely remembers from childhood visits and uncovers secrets that his cousin kept and his relatives are determined to forget.

Through his story, Ellison demonstrates and encourages adults to remember that five-year-old child within them, to remember the magic despite the fact that they have adult responsibilities and other distractions. In some ways, Ellison admits that a large part of him, even as an adult, is Jeffty. ![]() That is the premise of the story, as Jeffty, the main focus of the story, never grows past the age of five. This magic is so strong, Ellison believes, that it is sad that a person ever has to outgrow it. Reading "Jeffty Is Five" makes one believe that childhood, especially that brief time after a child develops a grasp of language and imagination but before that imagination is cornered by the demands of a disciplined schooling, is a time of magic. ![]() ![]() Ellison goes on to say that "Jeffty Is Five" "has become an image of reverence for the parts of my childhood that were joyous and free of pain." Harlan Ellison writes in his introduction to this short story that "Jeffty Is Five" is one of his "half dozen favorite stories." It is also an award-winning short story, having picked up both a Nebula Award in 1977, the year it was first published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and the Hugo Award in 1978. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Sandeman 50 YO Tawny Port is a blend of several Tawnies ranging in age from 50 YO to as much as 70 YO.

There was nothing new in this huge volume. That doesn't make me any kind of expert, of course, but I am, at least, reasonably informed. I love this period of history and I've taught it to pre-GCSE students many times. Sorry, but for me the book missed the spot. ![]() I shouldn't be giving less than 4/5 stars at the very least, surely? The book is reasonably(ish) easy to read which makes it welcoming to the newcomer to the Greco-Roman world. I know, I know, Mary Beard is hailed as the best, most exciting and most praised Roman historian in living history. Possibly the worst book I've read on Roman history certainly the most boring. Flying in the face of other reviews for this book, I can honestly say I lost precious hours reading this book that I will never get back. ![]() |
