Book Description
Mackie and the Magical Nut I thought long and hard of what I was going to use as a character. I wanted something realistic and fun. I came up with a squirrel because I havent seen one used in a very long time and it was something that kids see all the time, most everywhere. Also if a child was to approach ne, it would run away so they couldnt get hurt. I believe every child and even adults lack some type of confidence and it can be very challenging to get past that awful feeling. Honestly when I created Mackie and the Magical Nut, not only did I have fun doing it, but I could see him being very popular at some point. (Big dream) When my Grandson became old enough to enjoy a story I would always tell him about Mackie and he is without a doubt a true Mackie believer. Even when he stays over and is a little scared at night, he has a stuffed squirrel that he sleeps with and all is well. My daughter tells me all the time when a squirrel runs by, hell say their goes Mackie, or one of his relatives. I have four Grandsons the youngest being two and I have to say, Mackie is a big part of our lives. The names in the book are all related to me somehow, whether its a niece, nephew or son in law and husband. Thank you and have a nice day.

Kojo Laing, Robert Browning and Affiliative Literature
Author: Joseph Hankinson
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031187768
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book compares the Victorian British poet Robert Browning and the twentieth-century Ghanaian poet and novelist Kojo Laing—two writers whose texts frequently foreground multi-scalar transregional cartographies, points of connection and translation, and imaginative kinships between different linguistic and cultural communities. Starting from the numerous and surprising points of connection and resemblance between both authors’ texts, this book puts pressure on critical practices that would keep writers like Laing and Browning separate, positing instead the importance of paying attention to the transnational, cross-cultural, and cross-temporal imaginative relationships texts themselves generate. By comparing two writers whose texts represent different points of view on a number of shared and congruent contexts, this book seeks an original way of understanding the relationship between texts and (post-) colonial contexts, texts and other texts. Browning’s and Laing’s shared tendency to foreground trans- and post-national cartographies of relation and difference, and their similarly translational aesthetics, both demand a probing of the disciplinary separation between ‘English Literature’ and ‘Comparative Literature’, as well as ‘literature’ and ‘comparison’, and a fresh awareness of the ways in which literature itself makes comparisons and affiliations. It also involves a version of ‘world literature’ intent on accentuating the relational worlds (linguistic, imaginative, ethical) that texts themselves generate; a criticism sensitive to the ways in which writers from different times and places can still be seen to overlap.
