Though brave and intelligent, Felix is suffering from a life-threatening illness. His parents take him on holiday to Costa Rica, where they visit the Continental Divide, a place where the waters that run down to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans separate. At this spot Felix faints and when he opens his eyes, he discovers he's arrived in an amazing back-to-front world, where magic and mythical creatures are real and humans are legend. Luckily he's befriended by Ironclaw, a fearsome creature, who takes him under his wing and, together with Betony, a spirited tangle-girl, they set out to find a cure for Felix and the way back home. After his amazing adventures in The Divide, Felix is once again… Read More

Berthoud, Colorado: Sandra Hargrove, 2016. Paperback. [i - ii], ii - viii, [ix - x], 127pp. No jacket (as issued). First published 2012. Revised edition 2016. Golden Age English artist Florence Harrison, was for many years identified as "Emma" Florence Harrison. In 2009 a startling revelation was made. The artist known for her Romantic/Pre-Raphaelite illustrations, fairy and children's art, poems and stories was actually one Florence "Susan" Harrison. Although her correct identity was made public, many collectors, book dealers and art experts were slow to accept the truth and correct their information. Today, many still confuse the two artists. This book presents the biographies of both women. By comparing and contrasting their lives, it was hoped thst the last shreds of lingering doubt and confusion would be puit to rest so that the correct accreditation would be given to the true Blackie illustrator. Each woman's story is a fascinating tale that reveals much about the… Read More
