Includes the plays The River Line; The Flashing Stream and The Burning GlassCharles Morgan was a distinguished novelist before he moved onto stage drama; with his reputation as a major dramatist established by his first play; The Flashing Stream. Morgan was unique for combining the roles of principal dramatic critic of The Times withthat of a practicing dramatist. The Daily Herald wrote that The Flashing Stream would lsquo;indefinitely refute the old idea about the gulf between our preaching and the practicersquo;. It was hailed as lsquo;a masterpiecersquo; by the Manchester Guardian; and also drew praise from The Telegraph who noted that lsquo;it handles a major problem of humanity with passion and intelligencersquo;. The combination of serious themes with dramatic tension and masterly craftsmanship was continued in his other plays; The River Line and The Burning Glass; which are also included in this collection.The River Line was revived in the West End in Oct 2011; at the Jermyn Street Theatre.

Endless Creative Possibilities!By A CustomerThis is an inexpensive two-in-one deal; and the creative possibilities are virtually limitless!First; its a book with 37 different kaleidoscope designs to be colored. The unique and fun designs include animals; plants; people; activities; icons; and many more. Each design has a title that gives a clue as to what it is (i.e.; "Play Ball" for a design made up of baseball players and equipment); which comes in handy when trying to figure out what youre looking at. Although there are a couple of pretty basic designs; for the most part they are rather intricate. Younger kids might do better creating their own designs rather than trying to color the ones provided.The book also gives instructions on how to create kaleidoscope designs. Little ones will need help (use of an X-Acto knife is involved); but the designs will be all theirs. The instructions are a little involved; but not too bad. Three "window" wedge templates are included to cut out and use as guides; but other materials are also needed. Some of these might not be everyday household items (i.e.; carbon paper; protractor); but they are inexpensive and relatively easy to find.The designs are printed back-to-back; but the paper is relatively heavy; so pens and markers can generally be used without bleeding through and ruining the design on the next page.If youre highly creative or just want a good way to pass the time; I recommend this book.
