Josephine doesn't find life easy. She is slow, ponderous and, although these characteristics are fine for any usual tortoise, she doesn't feel they are right for her. The race she has just won against her friend Harvey the hare, was a happening that legends are made of. Although usually one of the fastest creatures on four legs, however, Harvey is easily distracted and quite often loses track of his everyday living. Because Josephine has a feeling there is something lacking in her daily humdrum existence, she develops an urge to set out on an adventure with Harvey and a friendly tawny owl called Evelyn, to try to discover what it is she might be missing. However, this is no ordinary adventure. The land drawing her away from her comfortable burrow on the edge of Sir Nigel Hodgson's grounds, could be fraught with all sorts of dire dangers and never-ending nightmares.

On renowned night-club performer and Allied spy Jos phine Baker's movements during the Second World War, told through essays, archival material, and photography. In this unique study, architect and theorist Ines Weizman presents a speculative architectural travelogue of renowned night-club performer and Resistance spy Jos phine Baker's movements during the Second World War. Based on Weizman's installation at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, the book uncovers political histories of colonization and occupation through the lens of architecture. Shortly after Germany occupied France, Baker--who had, up until the war, been performing in Paris and internationally--enlisted in the counterintelligence wing of the Free French Army. In 1940, she left Paris for Marseille, from which she departed in 1941 to establish networks and find allies in North Africa. In 1943, she began performing across the Middle East, traveling alongside, in advance of, or behind Allied soldiers, alternately conducting acts of espionage and entertainment. Her perilous trajectory across the shifting borders of North Africa and the Middle East is known only in broad terms, as evidence that could detail the series of places in which she performed is almost completely lost. Only a few faint traces, speculations, rumors, and documents indicate Baker's presence in military camps, clubs, cabarets, casinos, theatres, and "gin joints" across the region. Centering around a seemingly minor architectural detail (a faded photograph of the remnants of a French flag painted on an interior wall of a long-since demolished casino in Haifa), this book searches for material clues of Baker's movements to trace the political, racial, and religious conflicts encountered along her journey. Featuring a film essay and a longer text discussing archival material, including photographs, documents, and correspondences, the book aims to untangle a web of cross-border relations that have since become hardened by national boundaries, and of trajectories now severed.
Born into poverty in a racially segregated Amercia, Josephine Baker flees to France where she embraces the hedonistic lifestyle on offer in Paris of the Roaring Twenties. With Hitler's rise to power in Germany, Josephine is forced to face her true self. Determined to protect the Liberty Equality and Fraternity she has found in France, she becomes an 'honorable correspondent' for the French Intelligence Service. So, beginning a journey which will take her from the Red Cross Shelters in Paris, to a secluded chateau in Vichy France, to the cruel deserts of North Africa. Whilst she will find love, passion and enduring friendship, she must also face dangers which will threaten not only her life but all she holds dear....Can she find the courage to fight for what she believe in.... no matter what the cost? .......
Tim Suermondt's fifth full-length book of verse, Josephine Baker Swimming Pool, is one you should keep by your bedside to dive into just before turning off your light--for its companionable tone, for its clarity and surprising imagery, for the sweet quietude of these many meditations.

She knew it had been a mistake, but hadn't been able to resist a few extra minutes of peaceful reflection on the beauty of a prairie sunrise as it lit up the purple larkspur and golden sunflowers. She'd spotted an unfamiliar insect that her fingers had itched to add to her sketchbook though there was no time during the busy mornings on the Santa Fe Trail. Now, she needed to hurry back and prayed that her father would be too busy with the wagon and the oxen to notice her tardiness....... Tom wished he had Sven's faith in the Almighty. His acquaintance with the Man Upstairs was nowhere near as strong. It was one more thing that drew him to his Swedish friend. There was just something about a man who had that kind of confidence in what he couldn't see.He glanced up and watched Jo struggle to light the fire. Her long brown braid kept slipping over her shoulder and she repeatedly threw it back into place without even realizing she was doing it. She was just too pretty for her own good, Tom grumbled inwardly. Why wasn't she a plain girl or a stocky girl or missing her teeth? Even Ned Harkiss would leave a toothless hag alone, wouldn't he?Historical western romance short story series.
