![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Honestly, for a modern 21st century graphic novel retelling of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1912 novel (and personal favourite) The Secret Garden, Noelle Weir has (in my humble opinion) done a (for me at least) pretty well delightful textual job with The Secret Garden on 81st Street: A Modern Retelling of the Secret Garden, in many ways quite accurately and faithfully mirroring most of the the basics (content and thematics wise) of Hodgson Burnett's original storyline, but at the same also modernising the featured narrative to provide a very nicely updated and contemporary tale. ![]() ![]() I also struggle with spelling and grammar and remembering combinations of movements in athletics and dance.” Before taking us back to her childhood, Abeel stresses that this learning disability doesn’t simply disappear after school and college are over.

The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Consciousness began when the universe formed, around 13.7 billion years ago ( panpsychism ). The intermediate stages are projected in the universal myths of the World Creation, Great Mother, Separation of the World Parents, Birth of the Hero, Slaying of the Dragon, Rescue of the Captive, and Transformation and Deification of the Hero. Consciousness has always existed, because God is conscious and eternal. At the heart of this book is the revolutionary idea that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but is a learned process brought into. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.

Hurston's notes, which somehow got lost, were recently rediscovered in someone else's papers at the Smithsonian. These tales featured a cast of characters made famous in Joel Chandler Harris's bowdlerized Uncle Remusversions, including John (related, no doubt, to High John the Conqueror), Brer Fox and various slaves. In 1927, with the support of Franz Boas, the dean of American anthropologists, Hurston traveled the Deep South collecting stories from black laborers, farmers, craftsmen and idlers. ![]() Although Hurston is better known for her novels, particularly Their Eyes Were Watching God, she might have been prouder of her anthropological field work. ![]() |
