One reviewer noted: "THIs book, written by English military men, presumably young (since they describe themselves in the preface as attending recent lectures at the Staff College), is plainly the work of well-educated soldiers. It appears to be especially intended for the use of cadets. Though not so technical as to embarrass the general reader, the book is strictly military, making no further reference to matters civil and political than is necessary to a good understanding of the campaigns. It does not appear that the authors have made a personal study of the fields they describe, or, indeed, that they have ever visited America. The list of authorities to which they refer is rather meagre in view of the extent of the literature relating to the Civil War. Yet the authorities are excellent and have been carefully studied. There is no lack of intelligent comprehension of the events described, and the presentmen is simple and direct. By an odd dislocation the accounts of naval operations are given in a single chapter at the end of the book, the main narrative of events containing the scantiest possible mention of the work of the fleets. In the opinion of many men, both North and South, the navy was even more effective than the army in crushing the Confederacy. Its work was at any rate in the highest degree important, and to relegate the." (American Historical Review., Vol Xl.-46.)8.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Tim Edmonds (Cover illustration) and Alistar Wood Ilustrador. [8], 269, [11] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. The dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve. Poison is a gripping and malevolent tale from master storyteller Chris Wooding. Enter a world where humans are the vermin; a gruesome, nightmarish land of malicious tricksters and evil disguised as beauty. Chris Wooding (born 28 February 1977) is a British writer. His first book, Crashing was published when he was 21. He has written many more, including The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, which was silver runner-up for the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, and Poison, which won the Lancashire Book of the Year. He is also the author of three different series; Broken Sky, an anime-influenced fantasy, Braided Path, a fantasy trilogy, and Malice, a fantasy that mixes graphic novel with the traditional novel; as well as Tales of the Ketty Jay, a steampunk sci-fi fantasy. Poison is a highly metafictional novel which follows the adventures of a sixteen-year-old female protagonist named Poison as she attempts to rescue her sister from the Phaerie Realm. He says of the novel: "It can be read one level as a weird, gruesome kind of fairy tale, but there's a lot more to it than that. I spent most of my time writing this novel worrying about whether anyone would 'get' it, or whether it would sound like some degenerate A-Level student's philosophical rant when it was all finished instead of the story it was supposed to be, but I think it all worked out fine in the end. I'm very happy with it, anyways. And at least I got to put all the folklore I studied at University to good use." Poison is the story of a rebellious human teenager living in the swamp town of Gull with her father, stepmother, and her baby sister Azalea. She struggles against the oppression in her life, particularly with her strained relationship with her Stepmother, Snapdragon. Her only friend in Gull is the old traveler, Fleet, who tells her tales of the old wars and phaeries and maintains that Poison has some of the "Old Blood" in her. On Soulswatch Eve, Azalea is replaced with a Changeling. After consulting with Fleet, Poison sets out from Gull to rescue her from the Phaerie Lord. She pays the Wraith-Catcher Bram to take her to Shieldtown to seek out the creature Lamprey, to whom Fleet has referred her. Once in Shieldtown, Poison encounters a young woman heading back to Gull and asks her to relay a message to her parents. After proving herself to Lamprey, Poison is sent to the home of the Bone Witch. In chapters fairly reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel, Poison enters the house of the Bone Witch. She meets another young woman named Peppercorn, who keeps house for the blind, old witch. Peppercorn is unwilling to help Poison (aside from hiding her one night), and so it is with Bram's help that Poison defeats the witch. Bram and Poison escape the house with Peppercorn and her highly intelligent cat Andersen. The quartet meet a fisherman named Myrrk, who hints that all is not what it seems in the phaerie realm. He sends them on their way to the phaerie Lord's castle. Once there, Poison strikes a deal with Aelthar the phaerie Lord that he will return Azalea to her if she obtains a dagger for him. This deal sends her and her companions into the castle of the spider woman Asinastra. She obtains the dagger and returns to Aelthar, where she learns that he has no intention of returning her sister. Angered by Aelthar's deception, Poison and her companions journey to the meeting of the lords at the Hierophant's castle. There, they reunite with Fleet. Fleet, we learn, is an Antiquarian: a human who seeks out stories of interest and value for the Hierophant to transcribe. Upon learning that the Hierophant has created all that the world is and every person in it, Poison tries to fight her role in the story by doing nothing and stagnating the plot line. As Poison tries to fight her own destiny by refusing to live it, everyone around her begins to weaken and deteriorate. After Bram reasons with her t.
