Salutations!

 

Description: OtisWe hope you and yours survived Hurricane Sandy and swing-state advertising okay.  We are eager to turn the page here at Loganberry, and we are currently setting up for our 2nd annual Otis’ Old Curiosity Shop! The holiday bazaar will take over the Annex Gallery during the months of November and December, with a mix of art, crafts, toys, cards, and vintage curios. We even painted the gallery (Otis helped)!  The show officially opens Thanksgiving weekend during the Larchmere Holiday Stroll, and there will be an artists' reception on Thursday, December 6 at 7 pm. You can find out more here.

Stump the Bookseller Selection of the Month
Stumpers!B869: Boy, rainbow colored fruits, travel
~ selection of the month ~
The children’s book I’m looking for is an old one. I read it around 1958, as a young child. The book could have been published in the 19th century, as my parents had old books around the house in Boston.  But I don’t know. I keep forgetting how old I am!   But looking at the overall characteristics of children’s books published in mid-20th century, I don’t recall any “modern” style to the mystery  book. The story line is about a  young boy.  I think he was in trouble with his parents.  He finds an orchard and discovers the fruits are in the colors of the rainbow.  When he eats a certain colored fruit he travels to that land,   e.g. “Violet Land”. I don’t remember how it ends but I have a warm fuzzy feeling about it so it must have ended well. I seem to remember an image of the boy (with him on the left side of the drawing), in a tree, reaching out with his right hand to pick a fruit. See More Book Stumpers

Classics Club
classics-gibbonsStella Gibbons: Cold Comfort Farm
Thursday, November 29, 7 pm

~ it’s a fifth Thursday this month! ~

Winner of the 1933 Femina Vie Heureuse Prize, Cold Comfort Farm is a wickedly funny portrait of British rural life in the 1930s. Flora Poste, a recently orphaned socialite, moves in with her country relatives, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm, and becomes enmeshed in a web of violent emotions, despair, and scheming, until Flora manages to set things right.

 

 

Book Signing and Author Talk
http://loganberrybooks.com/localauthors/ruhlman-twenty.jpgMichael Ruhlman

Friday, December 7, 7:30-9:00pm, with an Author Talk at 8pm

Popular Cleveland chef and writer Michael Ruhlman will join us on Friday, December 7 to sign copies of his latest cookbook, Ruhlman's Twenty: The Ideas and Techniques that Will Make You a Better Cook ($40). You'll have two chances to get your book signed: once before Ruhlman's talk, and once after, so you can make dinner plans at one of Larchmere's many fine establishments accordingly. (However, rumor has it that Ruhlman will serve up a big pot of Lemon-Cumin Dal, so you might want to save some room.)

 

 

Keep reading,

Harriett
