Henderson Kathy Illustrated by Jane Ray
Lugalbanda: The Boy Who Got Caught Up in a War: An Epic Tale From Ancient Iraq
Cambridge MA: Candlewick Press 2006. First American edition. Hardback. Fine. Age Level: 8 and up Grade Level: 3 and up Series: Aesop Prize Awards Found in Iraq and older than the Bible the Koran or the Torah this stirring epic - the world's oldest written story - now becomes available to a general readership for the very first time. Lugalbanda woke with a jolt. He opened his eyes and what did he see but the terrible Anzu bird beating its wings in its nest high above. . . . Did he quake Did he quail No. Lugalbanda the Brave sat and stared and into his head came a brilliant idea. Before the Bible and the Koran before even the Greek and Roman myths there came a story from the land we now call Iraq. Speaking across five thousand years in a voice so fresh and timeless it could have been written yesterday this tale tells of an extraordinary journey of a magical bird of a battle that wouldn't end and of wisdom gained. It is the story of Lugalbanda a boy in a time of war. Etched on clay tablets in cuneiform lost underground for thousands of years and rediscovered just 150 years ago this account of the epic adventures of a loyal resourceful boy is renarrated in lyrical prose by Kathy Henderson and set against Jane Ray's glorious images glinting with gold. "Both timely and timeless Lugalbanda is the oldest-known written story predating even the epic of Gilgamesh who may be Lugalbanda's son. The cuneiform tablets on which this Sumerian legend was inscribed were discovered during 19th-century excavations but not deciphered until the 1970s. Henderson's vivid yet stately words and Ray's Sumerian-inspired watercolor ink and collage illustrations bring immediacy to this story of a boy caught up in wartime. Lugalbanda's courage native kindness and prescience contributed to his heroism. Grievously ill he is left behind in the wilderness while his brothers' army marches to war. Upon his recovery Lugalbanda tames the fearsome Anzu bird with its teeth of a shark and talons of an eagle and persuades the monster to grant him supernatural strength and speed. In return the prince promises that his people will venerate the Anzu bird in perpetuity. With the publication of this beautiful fascinating book modern readers can come to appreciate a compelling narrative from a civilization about which we are still learning." -- Miriam Lang Budin Chappaqua Public Library School Library Journal.

Saba Marcel
Witness Iraq: A War Journal Frbruary=April 2003
New York New York U.S.A.: Power House Books 2003. Gift inscribed by author. From Publishers Weekly The Shock and Awe campaign may be over but images from the war in Iraq still burn in many people's minds. The red-and-yellow-tinged smoke rising from the nightline of the burning capital the toppling of the giant statue of Saddam Hussein the triumph of coalition soldiers lounging in the dictator's palace-Saba's collection of war photographs contains pictures of all these events. Dozens of photographers from various news services AP Corbis Reuters etc. contributed works to the volume which focuses on the invasion and liberation of Baghdad. Most of the photos were taken with digital cameras and sometimes this shows-in loss of detail in pixilated edges-but they are powerful nonetheless. Giles Penfold captures a long line of sunburned backs as British troops bathe under an improvised shower. The black machine guns of the guerilla group Fedayeen Saddam contrast with the white death shrouds of its members. Francesco Zizola provides one of the most affecting pictures: a wounded Iraqi girl her eyebrows furrowed in a confused expression of sorrow and pain stares helplessly into the camera as two nurses attend to her wounds. It's a shame that the book's design interferes a little with one's appreciation of these images; though the book is large-format most of the photographs are laid out over two pages so the middle crease cuts through the center of the composition. The book's few pages of text-which alternate between diary-like entries by photojournalist Seamus Conlan and news-filled web postings by U.S. serviceman LT Smash-give another perspective on the battle making this a valuable and timely contribution to coverage of the war. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information Inc. Book Description Witness Iraq: A War Journal February April 2003 presents compelling provocative images of the war as seen through the eyes of world-renowned independent and embedded photojournalists belonging to the most well-known and respected photo agencies. The books begins with the assassination attempt of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and continues through the massive roll out of tanks and troops in the desert and on to the fight of the Kurds in the North and finally culminating in the fall of Baghdad. Witness the desperation of Iraqi soldiers as they attempt to surrender. Witness an unpublished and more telling view of the jubilation in Baghdad when the famed huge statue of Saddam Hussein is toppled. Feel the empathy of a US soldier as he cradles an injured Iraqi child. Although this has become history�s most photographed military conflict most photographs in this book have not been seen before. These images take you inside the war and show the courage tragedy humor and compassion portraying the chaos of conflict as well as the respect and empathy for human life. Through these images you will witness not only the horrors of war but also the triumph of the human spirit. . Signed by Author. Presumed First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. Illus. by Color Photos. Power House Books Hardcover
