A Daily Telegraph and Observer Children’s Book of the YearDescribed as ‘an utter gem’ by the Telegraph, this exquisitely illustrated picture book with die-cut flaps follows the woodland ramblings of Mouse through the change in seasons.Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse’s rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse’s Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature.The story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse’s journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December, from picnicking among the bluebells with Mole in May and picking berries with Dormouse in June, to taking refuge in Fox’s cozy caravan as winter draws in.

邊界不只體現在等待入境的漫長人龍，它是國家權力的聲張、國族認同的想像與對陌生他者的投射。 陳思賢 台灣大學政治系教授 專文推薦張景安 政治大學阿拉伯語文學系副教授 推薦一九八九年柏林圍牆倒下，人們以為所有邊界終將垮台；全球化的趨勢，讓我們相信邊界將不再具有意義；但事實是，邊界益發僵固，卻無法阻擋病毒與氣候變遷…… 我們畫下邊界，捍衛自己，將我們與那些覬覦我們性命與財產的「他們」區分開來。為什麼一條線條，竟能擁有魔力，讓我們得以投射這樣的希望與恐懼，主張自己是誰？從史上第一塊界碑、羅馬帝國的哈德良長城，到今日的以色列隔離牆、美墨邊界、中國的網路長城，本書結合實地訪查、對談、人文反省，講述邊界的興築與頹圮，它引發的衝突與苦難，以及我們該如何重新思考「邊界」，才能為全人類帶來永續的未來。為什麼地圖上的線條會對人類有如此大的影響力？我們有辦法擺脫它們嗎？這些是克洛福思考——並回答——的問題。迷人至極。——CNN集歷史、旅遊紀行與報導文學為一體的雄心之作……。打造出我們的世界的邊界，現在要麼已失去效力，要麼已違背人性，甚至兩者兼而有之。《邊界的故事》要求我們想像一種不一樣的邊界。——《紐約時報》（New York Times）這是一場對過去、現在與未來的邊界的創新且不拘一格的研究……。在整本書裡，克洛福以迷入且原創的方式勾勒出歷史事件之間的相似之處……。他提出重要且充滿說服力的提醒——邊界控制著「我們的地景，我們的記憶，我們的身分」。——《出版人週刊》（Publishers Weekly）星級評論克洛福從人類苦難、經濟不平等與環境惡化的角度來揭示「邊界」的代價……。這是對此關鍵問題的及時且寶貴的討論。——《圖書館期刊》（Library Journal）星級評論從哈德良長城到中國的網路防火長城，一場內容豐富的旅遊紀行……精彩之極。——史帝文．普勒（Steven Poole），《衛報》（The Guardian）這是一場對一個跟人類一樣古老的概念的多彩、生動而有力的探索，但這個概念與當今最棘手的全球挑戰有關。表面上看來，邊界似乎與「固定」有關。但克洛福挖掘得更深。在他動人而讓人神往的筆下，我們瞭解到邊界的變形、移動與彈性；它們充滿活力、大口呼吸——有時則是奄奄一息。克洛福的邊界故事充滿人味，表明邊界本身就是人類

「舞蹈是一種偉大的原始藝術， 是一種能喚醒其他藝術的藝術。」 ★☆「現代舞之母」伊莎貝拉．鄧肯親述傳記☆★ 「這是紅色，我也是紅色的，這是生命與活力的顏色。」 波士頓的舞臺上，我裸露著胸部，奮力揮舞手中的紅色圍巾。 從小即展現舞蹈天賦，年僅6歲就開班授課， 芭蕾舞卻只學了三天便放棄――太制式僵化了！ 「老師要我用腳尖站在地上，我問他為什麼要這樣做，他說『因為這樣美』，我說這樣既難看又彆扭。就這樣，上了三節課之後，我就離開了，而且再也沒回去。他竟然將這種做作而又陳腐的體操動作稱為舞蹈，這只會干擾我對舞蹈的理想……」 除了追尋舞蹈上的自由，鄧肯也十分關注社會議題， 12歲時立志反對婚姻對女性的束縛，爭取未婚生育的權利； 並在誕下女兒的過程中，憤然抨擊現代醫學對女性的漠視。 「有種觀點認為，女人必須承受這種可怕的折磨的。這實在是一種空前絕後的野蠻行為的表現。這種觀點必須得到糾正，必須予以制止。現代科技如此發達，無痛分娩早就應該實現了，但卻始終無法做到，這真是一種罪過，就像醫生做手術時不用麻醉藥一樣，絕對是不可原諒的！……如果不能設法讓婦女們完全擺脫這種毫無意義的痛苦，那麼我們也就沒有必要去奢談什麼『婦女運動』或『普選權運動』了。」 前後幾段轟轟烈烈的感情，鄧肯孕育了一雙子女， 豈料一場車禍溺水意外，奪走了愛子愛女的性命， 鄧肯傷心欲絕，精神狀況每況愈下，終日產生幻覺。 恍恍惚惚間，她遇見了一個來自義大利的雕塑家， 不知道哪來的勇氣，竟開口向對方索求一個孩子…… 痛失至親的鄧肯，她的雙腳還能再次舞動嗎？ 又為何走上了共產主義的道路，為〈國際歌〉編舞？ 身處反共情緒高漲的美國，這位叛逆的藝術家該如何立足？ ※ ※ ※ 【國外媒體一致好評】 是我讀過的最為生動的一部自傳。 ――美國《紐約世界報》（New York World） 面對是非曲直如此開誠布公、坦誠直率的陳述，而這些陳述就出自如此智慧、才華橫溢、特立獨行、各種傳聞不斷的傑出女性的自傳中。 ――美國《時代雜誌》（Time） 引人入勝到令人感動的閱讀體驗。 ――美國《紐約時報》（The New York Times） 伊莎朵拉．鄧肯就像是出現在20世紀的酒神，令人難忘。 ――《Vogue》雜誌 當伊莎朵拉跳舞的時候，人們的思想會回到很久很久以前的那些古老的世紀：回到世界的初始，那時偉大的靈魂可以在優美的身體
