    The Art of Fiction

    Notes on Craft for Young Writers (Vintage):

• Book by John Gardner.

Imaginative Writing- The Elements of Craft (Penguin Academics Series) (Penguin Academics S.)

Imaginative Writing

The Elements of Craft (Penguin Academics Series) (Penguin Academics S.):

• Review:: 'Marginal I used this book in a class. I didn't find it very helpful, since many of the chapters are rather abstract. It rambles around without getting to the point in many instances. The examples of essays, short stories and poems were very uninteresting and uninspiring. I guess if you like negative, sensationalized American stories, you won't mind. However, I prefer deep interaction among characters with a little story and adventure. It's also pleasant to have stories written with eloquent, beautiful use of language. You won't see that here.
• Review:: 'Just OK Burroway's book is just OK. That's about the gist of it. Her methodology is ok, devoting a chapter to the essential ingredients of creative writing, i.e., style, image, tone, voice, point of view, etc., but she sticks writing samples together, regardless of genre, so you'll get a short story and an essay along with some poems to illustrate a particular mode. This can be confusing to beginning writers since you pretty much have to overlook the form of the writing in analyzing the particular point she is attempting to stress. It's nice to try to integrate playwriting samples and exercises into a creative writing book but since performance is such an essential part of theatre, without some background in theatre going, the beginning writer may be putting "de horse before Decartes." (Sorry, John Simon, for stealing your line--but I acknowledge your cleverness). The writing exercises at the end of each chapter are typically adequate and she does offer some "body work" exercises borrowed from acting warm-ups, but in the end, it all doesn't quite mesh. I recommend "Mooring Against the Tide" for its methodology, informed examples--both from "professionals" and students--and its treatment of creative writing both as a craft and an ineffable art. At the very least, if you do find this book helpful, you should have an intuitive sense WHY people feel compelled to do creative writing. Otherwise, this book might just contribute to the M.F.A. style of creative writing so prevalent these days that come out of writing programs by the highly verbal, affluent kids who want to show off how clever they are, and rush off to medical school a couple of years after they aren't "making it."
• Review:: 'An excellent book for the writing classroom I couldn't disagree more with the one-star review below. I find this such a useful and helpful multi-genre book that I have adopted it for use in my creative writing class here at the University of Alabama. Just an excellent book!
• Review:: 'Fresh? Not to start a war here, but Janet Burroway's book *is* fresh, and it's the best, most comprehensive multigenre text on the market. And it's affordable both for university students and writers who want to use it on their own. No, it's not full of inspirational gobbledygook and gimmicky suggestions to touch the heart of the writer. Instead, it's a very smart book that asks the writer to join in the long histories of the genres it discusses and offers the most succinctly articulated descriptions of techniques and approaches that will not only get a writer started writing but that will also help that writer understand what makes good writing good. The most innovative aspect of Burroway's book is that it takes creative writing as a whole and discusses those basic elements that make all writing good, from the need for concrete imagery that says something to the need for narrative to move and develop across a work. And it offers dozens and dozens of recent examples to illustrate its points. As an anthology alone, this book would be a good read. But Burroway's comments very aptly help a reader to understand what is working well in each of her excerpts. No, it doesn't offer up elaborate metaphors about bones or light or any inner writing child as a way to nurture the soul of the writer. But from my experience as a writing instructor, it's not the soul of the beginning writer that needs nurturing. This book understands quite well the need to nurture the mind of the writer first.
• Review:: 'not much of an imaginative book Sorry, but this is a less than average book on writing. It's dated in its attitude toward fresh writing. Its a rehash with no original thought. The book's texts fall way short of its title. In five words, it is dry and boring. The author makes many pronouncments that often amount to trite and trivial, rather than relaying info to the writer that is fresh, sparkling. Consider instead Carolyn See's books on writing. See's books are helpful, vibrate with energy, unlike this one by Burroiay. Other authors on writing like Heilburn and Goldberg and Dillard and La Mott also do not have that tired-out attitude of 'only we three people in the world really know what great literature is."

The Little Hands Art Book/Exploring Arts & Crafts With 2-To 6-Year-Olds (Williamson Little Hands Series)

The Little Hands Art Book/Exploring Arts & Crafts With 2-To 6-Year-Olds (Williamson Little Hands Series)

• Review:: 'Little hands, Big ideas This book is perfect for your little ones. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loved the crafts we have already done out of the book. I also work with children as my job and also at my church. I highly recommend this book to all you parents, grandparents, Aunt & Uncles, All care givers, and even the expecting parents. A+ Book.
• Review:: 'Simple, realistic art projects for toddlers and preschoolers I have a three-year old daughter with whom I wanted to explore arts and crafts. I looked at many different arts and crafts books before choosing this one to buy. Many other books that I looked at had projects that had complicated instructions or used materials that were expensive. I needed a book that I could pull off the bookshelf, open up, and pick a suitable art project quickly. Little Hands has realistic projects- by that, I mean projects that are meaningful, uncomplicated, and use basic materials that you're likely to have around the house.
• Review:: 'WORTH EVERY PENNY ! This book had everything I was looking for & more for my four year old. There are So many projects for different levels, with simple instructions. I was delighted to see some projects that I did long ago when I was a child, like paper dolls holding hands, paper snow flakes & sock puppets. The list goes on & on...
• Review:: 'Little Hands This is a very useful book for a parent who wants to work along her child. Activities are well explained and organized by supplies needed, so you won't have to browse through all the pages to find something appropriate for the supplies you have at home. Also, though not clearly stated, there are holiday activities. Older children, especially those younger than nine, will find this book useful. And, they should be able to follow thw instructions with very little help, if any.
• Review:: 'More Crafts than Art. found here. As an artist and parent who now teaches art to young children, I think this book has some cute craft ideas but is not the best introduction to art for children. I prefer Scribble Art by Mary Ann Kohl - it has a similar easy-to-read format with projects that can be adapted to almost any age, but Scribble Art involves more open-ended projects that allow for creativity and self-expression. Little Hands is more results oriented - for instance, if you want to make a quick turtle using a plastic bowl, this book will show you how. Many of projects involve a specific end result - a representational image of a pumpkin or porcupine. Granted, there are times for this; however, I prefer an approach to allows children to create their own subject matter, or explore freely within a given material or technique.
