Book Description
The year is 1957. In a small Swedish village, fear and anxiety spread when one of the village women is found dead in a meadow. The case seems to remain unsolved, and in the village the suspicions and gossip grow stronger. The solution is within reach, but the small, detached details, which together show what really happened, are difficult to detect. The question is whether it will ever happen. TELL TALE TIT is, apart from a story about a crime, a realistic depiction of time that with great wealth of details and genuine atmosphere gives a picture of life in the 1950s when the Swedish folk home was built and faith in the future was bright and strong.

Hark! hark! the dogs bark,The beggars are coming to town;Some in rags and some in tags,And some in a silken gown.Some gave them white bread,And some gave them brown,And some gave them a good horse-whip,And sent them out of the town.Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,Eating a Christmas pie;He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum,And said, oh! what a good boy am I.

The Golden Age of Pantomime
Author: Jeffrey Richards
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 085772472X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Of all the theatrical genres most prized by the Victorians, pantomime is the only one to have survived continuously into the twenty-first century. It remains as true today as it was in the 1830s, that a visit to the pantomime constitutes the first theatrical experience of most children and now, as then, a successful pantomime season is the key to the financial health of most theatres. Everyone went to the pantomime, from Queen Victoria and the royal family to the humblest of her subjects. It appealed equally to West End and East End, to London and the provinces, to both sexes and all ages. Many Victorian luminaries were devotees of the pantomime, notably among them John Ruskin, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll and W.E. Gladstone. In this vivid and evocative account of the Victorian pantomime, Jeffrey Richards examines the potent combination of slapstick, spectacle and subversion that ensured the enduring popularity of the form. The secret of its success, he argues, was its continual evolution. It acted as an accurate cultural barometer of its times, directly reflecting current attitudes, beliefs and preoccupations, and it kept up a flow of instantly recognisable topical allusions to political rows, fashion fads, technological triumphs, wars and revolutions, and society scandals. Richards assesses throughout the contribution of writers, producers, designers and stars to the success of the pantomime in its golden age. This book is a treat as rich and appetizing as turkey, mince pies and plum pudding.
