2.Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Biography (Women In History) by: Marion Meade August 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
I have a number of books about medieval history and this was one of the best. Most of the time I get half way through a title and drift off bored with the dryness of the subject, but I found it easy to stick with this book right to the end. There is a lightness of touch married with a strong element of factual accuracy that makes it worthwhile reading - I'd recommend giving it a go!

I came to this book forewarned about the controversial allegations of childhood abuse and his illiteracy. On reading the first chapter, which is a sort of dramatic "taster" describing an event that occurs part way through the story, I was convinced that the book was going to be a novel (or screenplay)loosely based on Keaton's story. The early chapters do contain some psycholgical speculation that does not seem to be supported by the evidence. For example, the author seems to make the claim that Keaton could not smile as a result of the (unproven) abuse he received from his father, resulting in his trademark "stone face". Yet this is contradicted by mentions later in the book that Keaton did smile and laugh, particulary in the ... Read More:

6.Dorothy Parker: What Fresh Hell Is This? by: Marion Meade June 06, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.94
Meade's book, obviously the result of years of research, takes the reader behind the public image of Dorothy Parker as just the rapier wit of the Algonquin Round Table to show us the complexity of her life. The joy and the tears are both well presented. This is a great read, even for those who are not familiar with Parker. A remarkable book about a remarkable woman.
