Babe Ruth remains the most popular player in the history of baseball. The slugger for the New York Yankees established a home run record in the 1927 season, just a year before joining the league of authors. Babe Ruth's Own Book is a who's who of old-time greats—Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, and many others. It describes the Babe's rise from poverty to stardom, catching his image and voice as freshly and permanently as pen and ink can. In a no-nonsense style, the Babe describes the ins and outs of the game, touching all bases and loading up the reader with priceless information and advice. The surprise is that so little about the sport has changed except the size of the players' salaries.
The task of editing and annotating a nineteenth-century diary seemed straightforward at first, but as Robert Root assembled scattered fragments of lost history and immersed himself in background research, he became enmeshed in unexpected ways. When doubts arose about who really wrote the journal, Root found himself plunged into a mystery of lost identity, drawn ever deeper into the drama and complexity of forgotten lives and engaged in a quest at times both compulsive and quixotic. Part memoir, part meditation on the nature of biography, Recovering Ruth is the absorbing story of recovering a hidden past—and of learning firsthand the complications of intimacy that develop between a biographer and his subject.
Ruth Draper was an acclaimed monologist who toured the world with her "cast of characters". This collection of letters is drawn from the diverse correspondences she kept during her extensive travels. Introduced by Sir John Gielgud, this book portrays her as a vibrant and sensitive character.
"Mondrag n masterfully weaves a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of truth. With a cast of flawed but endearing characters and plenty of Southern charm, Grandma Ruth Doesn't Go to Funerals will stay with you long after you turn the final page." --Kate Angelo, best-selling romantic suspense author In a small town where gossip flows like sweet tea, bedridden Mary Ruth McCready reigns supreme, doling out wisdom and meddling in everyone's business with a fervor that would make a matchmaker blush. When her best friend, Charlotte Harrington, has her world rocked by a scandalous revelation from her dying husband P. B., Mary Ruth kicks into high gear, commandeering the help of her favorite granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth, in tracking down the truth. Finding clues in funeral condolence cards and decades-old gossip dredged up at the Blue Moon Beauty Emporium, the two stir up trouble faster than you can say "pecan pie." And just when things are starting to look up, in waltzes Camilla "Millie" Holtgrew, a blast from P. B.'s past, with a grown son and an outrageous claim to Charlotte's inheritance. But as Grandma Ruth always says when things get tough, "God is too big." With him, nothing is impossible--even bringing long-held secrets to light. Grandma Ruth and Sarah just might have to ruffle a whole mess of feathers to do it. "A book you will want to read, then keep around to read again." --Patricia Sprinkle, author of the Thoroughly Southern Mystery series

This play is a true story of passionate newlyweds separated by an ocean as they struggle against fascism in the late 1930s, George fighting in the Spanish Civil War and Ruth organizing antifascist youth in New York City. The script is derived from letters written between the lovers with honesty, humor, longing and compassion, interspersed with songs of the period in English, Spanish and German. Audiences are invited to join in, singing along with George and Ruth in the battle for democracy. Praise for George & Ruth This lovely, moving script deserves performances throughout the land. Based on actual letters and an entirely true story, it recalls a time of tragedy and heroism. And in a world with authoritarian strongmen grasping for power or achieving it on almost every continent, this story of Americans who opposed fascism more than eighty years ago has a vital echo for us today.--Adam Hochschild, Spain in Our Hearts & King Leopold's Ghost (National Book Critics Circle Award finalist) Last Friday a packed audience heard excerpts from intelligent, funny and impassioned letters exchanged in the late thirties between George Watt, a volunteer fighter in the Spanish Civil War and his wife Ruth. Their words were augmented by the legendary songs of those who came from all over the world to stop fascism at the threshold of a looming world war. The power and emotional force of the words and music were rooted in unshakable belief in the need to fight, whatever the personal cost, the fascist threat embodied in Franco's counterrevolution before it engulfed the world.--Mark Solomon, Professor of History, Simmons College (Retired) The George and Ruth Watt letters constitute the only documented exchange of love letters involving a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. George and Ruth dedicated their lives to fighting fascism and injustice. George Watt is a hero, and a well-known figure among the Lincoln Brigade and historians of the Spanish Civil War. Ruth Rosenthal Watt, a Hunter College alumnus, was a prominent antifascist activist who participated in demonstrations against fascism in the United States. The message of justice, freedom, and love present in their correspondence captivates the reader from start to finish.--Mar a Hern ndez-Ojeda, Hunter College-CUNY, Co-chair, Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) The Lincoln Brigaders remain among the great heroes of American and world history. This story will inspire generations to come --Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States
Let's face it. English grammar is not exactly a topic that grips the imaginations of today's youth, nor is it the root of titillating conversation at the office water cooler. Sure, we may snicker when Susan accidentally splits her infinitive or shed a tear of refrained laughter when Bob dangles a participle, but in general we modern day Americans work as hard as we can at avoiding using lie / lay / lain or lay / laid / laid. Why is grammar so painful for us?This book is the panacea for Grammar Angst. Each of the (45) chapters is a separate, stand-alone adventure involving the indomitable Aunt Ruth, her sidekick (and sometimes nauseating) nephew, and a cast of other memorable characters who pop-in now and then to join in the fun. Each story addresses a specific grammar or usage point, and the stories can be read in any order. In the back of the book is a section on common problems, where each topic discussed in the earlier chapters is further explored.Audiences of all ages will enjoy these stories. Young ones will enjoy hearing about the various messes that Aunt Ruth finds herself in; older ones will enjoy reading the dialogues between nephew and aunt; and all ages will absorb a bit of grammar while being entertained by the stories.Aunt Ruth: The Queen ... comprises a multitude of grammatical points, tips, and problem areas including: Is it she likes X more than me, or is it she likes X more than I; what's the difference between onto and on to; what is a gerund and how is it used; is it have gone or have went; what is a comma splice; what is sentence fusion; what are the rules for using myself, himself, and herself; when is it bad versus badly; when is it who, whom, whoever, or whomever; how to use commas, semi-colons, and colons; how to conjugate irregular verbs; what are comparatives and superlatives ... and the list continues.The book is so family friendly that it could be read in its entirety from a church pulpit without raising any eyebrows, other than those (of course) of people in the congregation wondering why today's sermon topic is about double possessives.While it is true that any grammar police person worth his or her salt will want this book as a reference, the book does not confront the reader in any sort of derogatory way. Though the nephew often tries hard to be the grammar police in correcting Aunt Ruth's errant ways, he does sometimes find himself conceding that, indeed, times have changed. When the nephew becomes too obstreperous for even Aunt Ruth to handle, she puts him back in his place with a stout, "GET OVER IT," and a whack in the head with her handy umbrella.This book follows the approach of its predecessor, I Laid an Egg on Aunt Ruth's Head. In her review of I Laid ... in the Raleigh News and Observer, book columnist Pam Nelson wrote: " Schnoor] is a kind, considerate, funny teacher who wants only for his students to improve, not to feel bad because of all they don't know." Aunt Ruth: The Queen ... follows the same philosophy.Esteemed writer, linguist, radio and newspaper columnist Richard Lederer, in his review of Aunt Ruth: The Queen ..., wrote, "Nobody is better than Joel Schnoor when it comes to presenting grammar dressed up to have fun."
