Cold Feetby: DeFelice/Robert Andrew Parker, Cynthia

Cold Feet
by: DeFelice/Robert Andrew Parker, Cynthia

Hardcover. NY, Dorling Kindersley, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover. Color illustrations by Robert Andrew Parker. As new in a dust jacket. After stealing a dead man's boots, a poor wandering bagpiper uses them to play a trick on an unfriendly farmer but then finds the trick turned back on him. Parker's watercolors rank with his finest. The blotted impressionistic colors and scrawled lines are both edgy and amusing, while the cool gray tones create an appropriately chilly backdrop for the spooky antics.

James IV (The Stewart Dynasty In Scotland)by: Macdougall, Norman

James IV (The Stewart Dynasty In Scotland)
by: Macdougall, Norman

Hardcover. East Lothian, Scotland, Tuckwell Press , reprint, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 339 pages, 18 figures on 12 b/w plates, map, end notes, appendix, bibliography, index. James IV is the best-known of all the late medieval Scottish rulers. Widely praised by his contemporaries, he combined the qualities of successful medieval monarch with a wide interest in the arts and sciences, while remaining acutely conscious of the need to enhance the prestige of his dynasty throughout Europe. This excellent study examines all aspects of James IV's sovereignty, explains his popularity and his highly successful kingship and assesses reasons for the disastrous end to the reign when the king and a large population of the Scottish nobility were eliminated in a single afternoon in 1513 at Flodden. Clean copy.
