A Message from the Author Back in 1965, when I was teaching reading to first-graders, I began writing books to help them become independent readers. These books used only a few words to tell enjoyable little stories. They gave the children practice in figuring out words on their own. I didn't realize that they would also become classics, beloved by children who cherished them, carried them around constantly, hugged them in bed, and re-read them until their families could recite them by heart and the books themselves collapsed in tatters. These children have grown up and want to share their favorite little storybooks with their own children. The first to be republished was Ann Likes Red, brought out by Purple House Press in the Fall of 2001. Now the others are being reprinted, starting with Ballerina Bess, a simple story written with only 25 words and beloved by many little girls who learned to read with it. I hope you will like it, too. The other titles in the series, to be reprinted later, are The Tent, The Rabbit, Big Beds and Little Beds, The Pond, Stop Pretending, Bill and the Fish, Brad and Neil, and my personal favorite, The Sandwich.

Painter, fisherman, pseudo-hermaphrodite--Forrest Bess lived his life in obscurity at an isolated bait camp off the East Coast of Texas. From 1949 through 1967, Bess showed at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City, along with superstar artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Rediscovered after his death in 1977, Bess' small visionary paintings are now prized by museums and collectors for their primal beauty and fetch over $100,000 a piece. Bess' treasured canvasses were only part of a grander theory--based on alchemy, Jungian philosophy, and aboriginal rituals--that proposed that hermaphrodism was the key to immortality. As an artist, Bess could never equivocate, and in 1961 he underwent an operation to become a pseudo-hermaphrodite. For the first time ever in print, "Forrest Bess: Key to the Riddle" combines the beauty of Bess' art with the drama and tragedy of his personal life. Using Bess' own hauntingly sincere words (in letters to Betty Parsons, Meyer Schapiro, and others) the book traces the life and logic of this forgotten artist and explains how a love of beauty and a desire for wholeness lead Bess to self-surgery and, ultimately, a mental hospital. "Forrest Bess: Key to the Riddle" is a fascinating look at one of America's most notorious cult visionaries--a man who truly believed that art could save his life.

Elizabeth Foster, 'Bess' is one of the larger than life characters that occasionally flits across the pages of history. Born in 1757 as Elizabeth Christiana Hervey, the daughter of the eccentric Frederick Hervey, Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, she led a privileged life and married John Thomas Foster in 1777. Following their separation, Foster took her infant sons from her and the distressed Bess led a bitter life, made more tolerable by the kindness and affection shown to her by her best friend, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. The friendship developed into a further intimate friendship with 'Canis' the nickname given to the Duke by Bess and Georgiana. Soon they were living in a menage a trois resulting in two illegitimate children, which Bess bore in exile in France, terrified of discovery and social ostracism. The births were successfully kept secret, and the children themselves grew up without knowing who their true mother was. The children were Caroline St. Jules, and a son, Augustus (later Augustus Clifford, 1st Baronet), who were later raised at Devonshire House with the Duke's legitimate children by Georgiana. Two years after Georgiana's death in 1806, Bess married 'Canis' and the couple lived together in happiness at Devonshire House and at Chatsworth, but the happiness was short-lived, for after only 21 months 'Canis' died. Bess spent much of the remainder of her life in Italy. Fluent in French and Italian, and living abroad for many years, Bess maintained a voluminous correspondence, and as a consequence an amazing picture has been built of this amazing woman, the friend of Marie Antoinette, the Prince Regent and many in the top circles of society in England, France and Italy. Following John Foster's death, she was re-united with her beloved Frederick and Augustus, and much of the correspondence in later years is between her and her influential sons.

Porgy and Bess is both artfully daring and morally engaging, a wonderful instance of "passionate virtuosity." Here, the detective novel's obsession with the grounded rationality of evidence floats away through voices that hang gloomily together, a whole of irresolvable parts. Porgy and Bess is both the death of the detective novel and its beautiful rebirth.

Karen Blixens moster Bess, Mary Bess Westenholz, spillede en altafgørende rolle for niecens gennembrud som forfatter. Uden mosterens venskab med den amerikanske forfatter Dorothy Canfield Fisher var Karen Blixens vanskelige debut med Seven Gothic Tales formodentlig aldrig blevet en realitet. En ikke tidligere benyttet tyveårig korrespondance over Atlanten mellem Moster Bess og Dorothy giver et fascinerende samtidigt indblik fra sidelinjen især af det tiår, hvor Karen Blixen tager hånd om sin egen skæbne. Fra et absolut eksistentielt nulpunkt i 1931, hvor hun blev tvunget til at forlade sit elskede Afrika, og til hun ti år senere var blevet en verdenskendt forfatter. Mosteren skrev i 1899 til sin 14-årige nieces fødselsdag følgende: “...med lidt mere Erfaring tror jeg nok, jeg kan udvikle mig til en første Rangs Impressario – kan Du saa blive Stjernen?” Og det var nøjagtigt, hvad der sidenhen skete for begge parter. Men Mary Bess Westenholz var også i egen ret en interessant personlighed. Hun blev medgrundlægger af den danske unitariske menighed, hun var gennem næsten tyve år redaktør for og flittig skribent i Protestantisk Tidende, ligesom hun hele sit liv gerne udtrykte sig skriftligt. Endvidere var Mary Bess Westenholz den første kvinde nogensinde i Danmark der i 1909 gjorde sin entre og tog ordet i Folketinget. En begivenhed, der dagen efter på en avisforside udnævnte hende til Danmarks Jeanne d’Arc.
