Click to view full description | 1. | Griffin, Adele The Other Shepards
New York, New York, U.S.A. Hyperion 1998 First Edition Hard Cover New New 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
The other Shepards died nearly twenty years ago, but eighth grader Holland Shepard and her younger sister, Geneva, are shadowed by other people's memories of their two brothers and sister. The enormity of their family's loss has limited the scope of the girls' own identities; "Whatever else we are," Holland reflects, "has been swallowed up by our haunting." Then Annie the painter arrives. She steps easily into their Greenwich Village home and, with insouciant charm, widens the sisters' perspective of themselves, their city, and the tragedy that has preceded them. It is Annie who gives them the courage to embark on a journey to make peace with their past, and redefine themselves beyond grief and memories. Part ghost story, part love story, this wonderful novel is a narrative of loss and healing, reality and memory. 218 pages.

New York Houghton Mifflin Company 1966 Hard Cover Fine Fair 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Griffin, Arthur
New England Revisited is an album of memorable and nostalgic scenes of "the cradle of America"; also an anthology of some of the very best writing about New England. The photographic collection comprises 44 full color plates. The plates are arranged by seasons, each section being introduced by a double-page "spread." The byways and villages, mountains and rivers, harbors and islands of all six states of the region are here represented in the varying moods. Griffing has written a photographic note for each plate and describes some of the problems and adventures he faced in taking the photographs. David McCord has selected passages from the works of 62 authors, all of whom were (or are) either New Englanders or have had a close association with the region. This is a beautiful book to treasure, whether you're a New Englander or tourist. The binding is green cloth; the jacket has 5 tears from 1-2" long, repaired. The book is 14 1/2" wide, and lays open nicely on one's lap! 200 pages, including an index of authors.

 | 4. | Griffin, Nicholas Caucasus
Great Britain Review of Reviews Co. 2001 First Edition Hard Cover New New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Photographs
The Caucasus is a jagged land. With Turkey to the west, Iran to the south and Russia to the north, the Caucasus is tripped between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Peter the Great, Hitler and Stalin all claimed to have conquered the region, leaving it a rich but bloody history. Its place in legend is equally high profile: Noah's Ark is said to lie on the borders of Armenia; the Garden of Eden can be found in the south of Azerbaijan; and Prometheus was, for his sins, bound and tortured on the peak of a mountain in Georgia. Nicholas Griffin combines narrative history with travelogue as he explores the Caucasus in search of the legacy of Imam Shamil, nineteenth-century freedom fighter and guru of today's Checken resistance. While tracing the history of Caucasian bloodshed, Griffin finds himself present at the beginning of another Russian attempt to control the region. This enthralling, beautiful and intermittently hilarious book lifts the lid on a little known but crucially important area of the wolrd whose future today, as ever, hangs in the balance. 240 pages, including an index and color photographs.
