Throughout the month of June, we invite you to participate in a discussion of the books of Frances Temple. In her brief career as a children's writer, Frances left us with an impressive body of work, including five novels and one picture-book retelling of an Anansi tale, which she also illustrated. There titles are:
"A Taste of Salt: A Story of Modern Haiti" (Orchard, 1992)
"Grab Hands and Run" (Orchard, 1993)
"The Ramsay Scallop" (Orchard, 1994)
"Tiger Soup: An Anansi Tale from Jamaica" (Orchard, 1994)
"Tonight, By Sea" (Orchard, 1995)
"The Beduin's Gazelle" (Orchard, 1996)
Two of Frances's books, "A Taste of Salt" and "Tonight, By Sea" take place in contemporary Haiti, while "Grab Hands and Run" deals with a family fleeing from political tyranny in El Salvador.
Her most recent book, "The Beduin's Gazelle," was published posthumously, the second volume in a planned trilogy, set during the Middle Ages. Has anyone had an opportunity to read it yet? Do you have any responses to it, or to the first volume in the trilogy, "The Ramsay Scallop?"
We look forward to your comments!
