At the time of Plath's premature death she had published a single volume of poems that had received only moderate attention, The Colossus (1960), and a first novel, the Salingeresque The Bell Jar (which appeared a month before her death in England, under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas"), in addition to a number of strikingly bold poems in British and American magazines her second, stronger volume of poems, Ariel, would not appear until 1965, by which time Plath's posthumous fame assured the book widespread attention, superlative reviews, and sales that would eventually make it one of the bestselling volumes of poetry to be published in England and America in the twentieth century.

Yemen’s beauty and wonder are contrasted with this violence as a backdrop and as crucial context for Nujood’s tale. ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, in the introduction, the voice is that of Minoui, who introduces us to a strange and wonderful country that has been fought over by outsiders throughout its history and is now marred by violence from within. Minoui never specifies how she and Nujood co-wrote the book, so the reader is tasked with separating out Nujood’s thoughts and Minoui’s interventions throughout the work. The novel begins with an introduction to the country of Yemen and to Nujood’s story written by Delphine Minoui, the book’s second and adult writer. Nujood published her biography, co-written with French journalist Delphine Minoui, in 2010, two years after her controversial divorce. I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced tells the story of Nujood Ali, a Yemeni girl who is possibly the youngest divorcée in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() An album of photographs of Colebourn, Winnie, Christopher Robin, and Mattick and Cole round out this winsome volume. ![]() So, too, are Sophie Blackall’s warm illustrations, which are finely detailed and emotionally expansive, emphasizing the bond between mother and son, and man, child, and bear. ![]() ![]() The conversational style of Mattick’s fictionalized narrative is finely crafted and utterly charming.

Winnie was full of affection and exploits, and it was hard for Harry to imagine leaving her behind in England when word came his unit was leaving for the front. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. Harry named the cub Winnipeg (soon shortened to Winnie) and she charmed everyone. Mattick’s unique perspective and engaging style (punctuated with plenty of humor) make for an irresistible narrative that includes herself and her young son, Cole, as characters as she tells what is clearly a familiar and much loved story to the little boy. Author Lindsay Mattick is the great-granddaughter of Harry Colebourn, the Winnipeg veterinarian who purchased an orphaned cub at a train station while on his way to service in World War I. ![]() ![]() Tudor’s books and I’m so glad that I get the opportunity to adapt another one of them,” said Rosenfeldt.
