It shows a whole new side to the author and his amazing talents."-Lisa Jones for Readers' Favorite Peter: Crank's Time "As a reader, this book gave me goosebumps as I read through its beautiful verses. This book is a marvelous example of some of his best work."-Lisa Jones for Readers' Favorite ------------------------------------------------ Dennis Waller - TOP 500 REVIEWER ------------------------------------------------ Amazon Verified Purchase 5***** A Richly Descriptive Story The writing style is masterful in creating strong mental imagery. The depth and layering of the storyline is reminiscent of the works of C.S. Lewis. If words were paint, then I would say William O'Brien uses them like Marc Chagall uses paint in conjuring feelings of awe. Peter's experiences throughout his journey are contagious as we the reader are spellbound by the marvels that are revealed page after page. Very classical in technique and flow, simply great writing. Another characteristic to the story is the sublime nature hinting at an allegory leaving you in contemplation of the deeper meaning to the story, much like C.S. Lewis. Shrouded within this fairytale of wonderment are traces of timeless wisdom that caught my eye. While this may be a YA novel, it is written in such a way that would appeal to anyone, regardless of age. This is one of those books that you can read over and over and find something new every time. In closing, I offer this last bit of wisdom from the story, "Listen with an open heart," he heard the flower speak." It just doesn't get any better than this... *A full 5000 word review & poem analysis posted for Peter, Enchantment and Stardust: Review by POET - Titled: Epithet: William O'Brien a magical poet, September 20, 2013

""The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered: Or A New Method Of Explaining The Metrical Structure Of A Greek Tragic Chorus"" is a scholarly work written by William O'Brien and published in 1843. The book focuses on the study of Greek tragic choruses and their metrical structure. O'Brien argues that the traditional methods of analyzing Greek meter are flawed and proposes a new method that he believes better captures the rhythmical art of the ancient Greeks. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing an overview of Greek meter and the second part presenting O'Brien's new method. Throughout the book, O'Brien draws on examples from Greek tragedy to illustrate his points and provide practical applications of his method. Overall, ""The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered"" is a significant contribution to the study of Greek meter and an important work in the field of classical studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
