Thomas Gray

The Adventures of Frog Doctor is a true tale about a beloved old tractor that is part of the family. The tractor plays an integral part of many people's lives in the rural Texas town, and is always ready and willing to help. It is told through the eyes of a little boy who gave the tractor its name, because of its engine sounds. Frog doctor shares many experiences with the family. Each adventure, no matter if it was simply a ride across town or having to work in adverse conditions, is told through a positive lens that is intended to show children that work is good. Moreover, it teaches that good can come from challenging circumstances, that people must take care of their life's implements and that everyone has a place within a community. In the end, the tractor goes away to be with another family, but not before making an indelible impression on the family's youngest son. Tom Gray grew up in rural Montague County Texas during the 1970s and 80s in a small farming community. He understood the value of a day's work at an early age by working on the family farm and for other nearby farmers. As an adult, he elected to pursue a life outside of agriculture and went on to complete his undergraduate and graduate degrees in business. He now teaches management and finance at Dallas College while continuing to work as a management professional. Tom is married to his loving wife, Amy and they have twins Boone and Sullivan.

‘The Curfew tolls the knell of parting day …’ Thomas Gray’s 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' has been loved and admired throughout the centuries. First circulated to a select group of friends, it was rushed to official publication in 1751 in order to avoid pirated copies being sold without the young poet’s permission. Praised by Samuel Johnson, reprinted over and over again in Gray’s lifetime and recited by generations of school children, it is one of the most famous poems in the English language. This edition reproduces the exquisite wood engravings made by Agnes Miller Parker in 1938. Parker visited the churchyard at St Giles, Stoke Poges, where the poem is set, in order to make her sketches, and all thirty-two stanzas of the poem are accompanied by detailed full-page illustrations. Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the poet’s death, this edition will not only bring new readers to the 'Elegy' but will also appeal to those already familiar with its riches.
