Download or read book The Broons and Oor Wullie written by Dudley D. Watkins and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broons and Oor Wullie have appeared in the Sunday Post in Scotland since the 1930s and still have a huge following today, with the annual selling over 100,000 copies every year. This is a slip-cased facsimile of the first ever Broons and Oor Wullie annuals. Collecting together the first few years of publication, the annual shows the stylistic development of the characters during this formative period of the classic cartoons’ lives. Now over 70 years since their original publication, this brilliant two-in-one annual has saved a small piece of Scottish heritage from obscurity. Appealing to all generations who have read the strips, the book offers a great insight to the early days of the Broons and Oor Wullie, as well as fulfilling the promise of all annuals: to make you laugh.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs Brown's Family Handbook, the first and only official book from Brendan O'Carroll's brilliant comic creation, is filled with useful advice and gives us a unique look into the lives of the Brown family. Millions of us have wondered how Agnes Brown does it. Keeping her end up while seven grown-up children tear about the fecking place like the eejits haven't got a home to go to. Packed with Mammy's tips for keeping a perfect family, or at least a family, as well as contributions from her children, neighbours and other hangers on, Mrs Brown's Family Handbook dispenses advice in her own inimical fecking style. You'll learn: • why every mammy's secret weapon is the tea towel • the dos and don't of cleaning up Granddad • what Dermot doesn't know about farting (not much) • what Winnie knows about seks (not enough) • all about the Five-Sausages-A-Day Diet (hint: contains sausages) • from Maria all about pain relief in child birth (if its free, take it) The perfect gift for anyone in a large family - it's one present and cheap - or with no family at all (seeing what they're missing might cheer the miserable feckers up), Mrs Brown's Family Handbook is also ideal for anyone sick and tired of giving out bloody DVDs for Christmas. Brendan O'Carroll is an Irish writer, producer, comedian, actor, director and author. He is best known for playing Agnes Brown in Mrs Brown's Boys, which won the best sitcom BAFTA in 2012. He has written four films and nine comedy shows, including The Course (1995), The Last Wedding (1999) and last year saw the release of his DVD for the live tour Good Mourning Mrs Brown. He has also published seven novels, including The Mammy, The Scrapper and The Young Wan - a number of which have been translated into 12 languages.
Download or read book Scruffy Brown Shoes written by Gloria R. Koehler and published by Taylor and Seale Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two protagonists, a boy from a dairy farm in the midwest and the other a girl from the west coast of California, lead vastly different lives during the turbulent years of the Great Depression and the subsequent wars. Their separate journeys throughout their lives shape their characters as they survive the drastic changes occurring about them within their immediate families and with the world. From the time their stories begin in 1936, to the end of the book, we see these two children emerge into adulthood, shaped by everything that is going on around them, not knowing the other existed until a chance meeting has them meet and merge with the new-found maturity and appreciation for life. The book runs the gamut of all emotions - through tragedy, loss, joy, innocence, longing, desires, and finally a true, mature love.

Download or read book Picture Book Professors written by Melissa M. Terras and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is academia portrayed in children's literature? This Element ambitiously surveys fictional professors in texts marketed towards children. Professors are overwhelmingly white and male, tending to be elderly scientists who fall into three stereotypes: the vehicle to explain scientific facts, the baffled genius, and the evil madman. By the late twentieth century, the stereotype of the male, mad, muddlehead, called Professor SomethingDumb, is formed in humorous yet pejorative fashion. This Element provides a publishing history of the role of academics in children's literature, questioning the book culture which promotes the enforcement of stereotypes regarding intellectual expertise in children's media. The Element is also available, with additional material, as Open Access.

Download or read book The Primer of Humor Research written by Victor Raskin and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is intended to provide a definitive view of the field of humor research for both beginning and established scholars in a variety of fields who are developing an interest in humor and need to familiarize themselves with the available body of knowledge. Each chapter of the book is devoted to an important aspect of humor research or to a disciplinary approach to the field, and each is written by the leading expert or emerging scholar in that area. There are two primary motivations for the book. The positive one is to collect and summarize the impressive body of knowledge accumulated in humor research in and around Humor: The International Journal of Humor Research. The negative motivation is to prevent the embarrassment to and from the "first-timers," often established experts in their own field, who venture into humor research without any notion that there already exists a body of knowledge they need to acquire before publishing anything on the subject-unless they are in the business of reinventing the wheel and have serious doubts about its being round! The organization of the book reflects the main groups of scholars participating in the increasingly popular and high-powered humor research movement throughout the world, an 800 to 1,000-strong contingent, and growing. The chapters are organized along the same lines: History, Research Issues, Main Directions, Current Situation, Possible Future, Bibliography-and use the authors' definitive credentials not to promote an individual view, but rather to give the reader a good comprehensive and condensed view of the area.
