Book Description
“The van was being driven at speed and when it turned off the main road onto a rough track that ran through the woods Izzy felt a warm hand …” In Izzy’s Quest for Gold we meet nine-year-old Izzy and her older brother Josh. They are sent to stay on their grandmother’s farm near Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland whilst their mother recovers from an operation. They make friends with a local boy called Theo who helps archaeologist Mary-Anne on a nearby excavation where she is trying to locate the site of a long forgotten Roman fort. The three children decide to help Mary-Anne but are distracted with the tales of spooky noises and sightings of a ‘golden warrior’ as told by Old Joe, a smelly poacher. Encounters with a nasty game-keeper, kidnapping and a chase through the woods lead to the exciting climax of this story in which the children have unexpected help when things get a bit out of hand.

The Magic Behind the Voices
Author: Tim Lawson
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496801229
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The Magic Behind the Voices is a fascinating package of biographies, anecdotes, credit listings, and photographs of the actors who have created the unmistakable voices for some of the most popular and enduring animated characters of all time. Drawn from dozens of personal interviews, the book features a unique look at thirty-nine of the hidden artists of show business. Often as amusing as the characters they portray, voice actors are charming, resilient people—many from humble beginnings—who have led colorful lives in pursuit of success. Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill's Mike Judge was an engineer for a weapons contractor turned self-taught animator and voice actor. Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) was a small-town Ohio girl who became the star protégé of Daws Butler—most famous for Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and Quick Draw McGraw. Mickey Mouse (Wayne Allwine) and Minnie Mouse (Russi Taylor) were a real-life husband-and-wife team. Spanning many studios and production companies, this book captures the spirit of fun that bubbles from those who create the voices of favorite animated characters. In the earliest days of cartoons, voice actors were seldom credited for their work. A little more than a decade ago, even the Screen Actors Guild did not consider voice actors to be real actors, and the only voice actor known to the general public was Mel Blanc. Now, Oscar-winning celebrities clamor to guest star on animated television shows and features. Despite the crushing turnouts at signings for shows such as Animaniacs, The Simpsons, and SpongeBob Squarepants, most voice actors continue to work in relative anonymity. The Magic Behind the Voices features personal interviews and concise biographical details, parting the curtain to reveal creators of many of the most beloved cartoon voices.
