![]() ![]() ![]() While The Midnight Club is obviously the biggest hook here, the narrative's conceit - the teens meet each night at midnight to share spooky tales they've been conjuring - allows a handful of Pike's other novels to be brought to life (or death), including Gimme a Kiss, Witch, The Wicked Heart, The Eternal Enemy, See You Later, and Road to Nowhere. ![]() Beyond The Midnight Club, Mike Flanagan is also set to turn Pike’s adult novel The Season of Passage into a feature film. It’s The First TV Series To Adapt Author Christopher Pike’s Teen Horror Novelsĭespite horror adaptations being so prevalent in the decades since Christopher Pike (real name: Kevin McFadden) kicked off his career, only one of his books had been tapped for live-action prior to The Midnight Club: NBC’s very lackluster 1996 TV movie Fall Into Darkness, which starred Fresh Prince vet Tatyana M. Sensitive viewers should also be aware of triggering elements such as self-harm and suicide. As such, it's arguably better suited for older viewers, and is rated TV-MA for a variety of reasons, including disturbing violence, gory elements, language, and drug and alcohol use. While its core cast members are teenagers, The Midnight Club centers on characters coping with their impending deaths within a teen hospice, bonding together in a search for proof of life after death. ![]() ![]() Goodbye Christopher Robin is a story of celebrity, a story of both the joys and pains of success and, ultimately, the story of how one man created a series of enchanting tales that brought hope and comfort to an England ravaged by the First World War. But the fictional Christopher Robin was based on Milnes own son. Milne, one of the most successful English writers ever, and the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, and of Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Christopher Robin. ![]() It offers the reader a glimpse into the relationship between Milne and the real-life Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of the Hundred Acre Wood. Goodbye Christopher Robin is drawn from Ann Thwaites acclaimed biography of A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh is drawn from Ann Thwaites acclaimed biography of A. ![]() Goodbye Christopher Robin inspired the film directed by Simon Curtis and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie and Kelly Macdonald. ![]() Milne, one of England’s most successful writers.Īfter serving in the First World War, Milne wrote a number of well-received plays, but his greatest triumph came when he created Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, the adventurous little boy based on his own son. ![]() Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh is drawn from Ann Thwaite’s Whitbread Award-winning biography of A. Inspired by Ann Thwaite’s 1990 biography of the author and the memoirs of Christopher Milne, the script, while well researched, is stuffed with more shifts in time and tone than it can. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just go with the flow, enjoying Barry McGovern’s boisterous but doomed hod-carrier Finnegan and his friends warbling Irish ballads and Marcella Riordan voicing Anna Livia Plurabelle as wonderfully as she did Molly Bloom on Naxos’s Ulysses. ![]() You can use an annotated text such as, but I found it too hiccuppy to be glancing down at the footnotes. That way you can revel in the ocean of neologisms, portmanteau words, puns and double entendres that Joyce frolics among like a dolphin on speed. I recommend getting an ebook version (Kindle’s is only 49p), then watching the words as you listen for half an hour a day the audio’s PDF and chapter heads sketch the plot. It has taken digital audiobooks to make it not only conquerable but hugely enjoyable in its entirety. It is a literary Everest that Joyce took 17 years to write, only for it to remain largely unvisited 82 years on. But I was baffled by Finnegans Wake, especially on flicking to the end to find that its last words were the missing first half of the sentence that begins the book. I loved James Joyce’s Ulysses for its lilting humour, its density of literary reference and glorious puns. ![]() Titles by James Joyce Titles by James Joyce Dubliners (unabridged) Dubliners – Part I (unabridged) Dubliners – Part II (unabridged) Finnegans Wake (abridged) Finnegans Wake (unabridged) Molly Bloom’s Soliloquy (unabridged) A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (abridged) A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (unabridged) Ulysses (abridged) Ulysses (unabridged) Reviews ![]() ![]() ![]() Aristotle had several prominent students, including Ptolemy, a general under Alexander the Great and the future pharaoh of Egypt.

Aristotle was taught by Plato, who was taught by Socrates before him. When Aristotle was 17 years old, he went to Athens and enrolled in Plato’s Academy, where he lived and studied for nearly 20 years. Both Phaestis and Nicomachus died when Aristotle was an adolescent, and he spent the rest of his childhood under the care of a guardian. Not much is known about Aristotle’s mother, Phaestis however, Aristotle’s father, Nicomachus, was a court physician for the Macedonian King Amyntas II. in Stagira, a village in Central Macedonia in Northern Greece. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paddy and his best friend Kevin are part of a neighborhood gang that sets fires in vacant buildings, routinely teases and abuses younger kids and plays in forbidden places. Set in the working-class environment of an Irish town in the late 1960s, the story is related by bright, sensitive 10-year-old Paddy Clarke, who, when we first meet him, is merely concerned with being as tough as his peers. While retaining the candid pictures of family life, the swift, energetic prose, the ear-perfect vernacular dialogue and the slap-dash humor that distinguished The Van, The Snapper and The Commitments, this narrative has more poignance and resonance. ![]() Winning the 1993 Booker Prize propelled Doyle's fourth novel from its original spring publication to a December issue date. ![]() ![]() ![]() and then turns out to be snippy when Hamish questions her further.

Despite his success, when McEvoy died unexpectedly at the peak of his career in 1927, his name was soon forgotten. His quick, confident style of painting drew the attention of many leading society figures, from Winston Churchill to Lady Diana Cooper, and in particular subjects who craved something beyond a simple ‘likeness’ in paint. Ambrose McEvoy was one of the most modern and daring English society portrait painters of the early 20th century. ![]() |
