Miss Fannie's Hat Ninety-nine year-old Miss Fannie has lots of hats, and she loves them all. But her favorite is the pink straw hat with the silk roses. That's the one Miss Fannie has worn on Easter Sunday for the past thirty-five years. When Miss Fannie's preacher asks her to donate one of her precious hats to the church auction, choosing which one to part with is no small task. This heartwarming story about the rewards of unselfish love will enchant readers young and old. The star of Miss Fannie's Hat is based on Jan Karon's own grandmother. "My grandmother, Miss Fannie, was so wonderful I wanted to share her with everyone," says Jan Karon. "I wrote Miss Fannie's Hat to give both children and adults a sense of family, to give them the grandmother or great-grandmother they never had, or always wished they had. Briefly, the story is about sacrifice and the rewards that can come when we give with a willing heart."

In 1928, the company adopted the brand name "Hallmark", after the symbol used by goldsmiths in London in the 14th century, and began printing its name on the back of every card and promoting it in ad campaigns, a practice the company continues to the present day. In 1944, it adopted its current slogan, "When you care to send the very best." In 1954, it changed its name from Hall Brothers to Hallmark.

Of course, Mitford, the town that is the setting for Karon's best-selling adult series is never mentioned, but the charming story and Toni Goffe's child-friendly illustrations give the same warm-hearted feeling. We know this place. Karon knew the real Miss Fannie well she was Jan's grandmother who lived to be 100 years old. Like the book's character, Miss Fannie was a tiny woman of great spunk and faith, who loved wearing colorful hats. The story seems rather quiet in the beginning. Miss Fannie lives with her daughter Miss Wanda, who prepares her meals, helps her shampoo and curl her hair, and, after Miss Fannie has decided which of her many hats to wear, takes her to church on Sundays. One Sunday, the young preacher asks Miss Fannie to donate a hat to the church fundraiser for pre-Easter repairs. She agrees, but deciding which one to give is not easy. Miss Fannie asks the Lord what she should do, remembering past episodes involving each hat as she considers which one to give. Finally, she selects her very favorite her Easter hat. When Easter arrives, Miss Fannie goes to church with only her curls on her head. The surprise that awaits her there makes her gift more than worthwhile.

RBH Home Articles Legends Churches ... Mail David Mary Russell Mitford Born: 16th December 1787 at Alresford, Hampshire Died: 10th January 1855 at Swallowfield, Berkshire Mary Russell Mitford was the only child of George Mitford, a descendant of an ancient Northumberland family, and of Mary Russell, an heiress, the only surviving child of Dr. Richard Russell, a richly beneficed clergyman, who held the livings of Overton and Ashe, both in Hampshire, for more than sixty years. George Mitford, who was ten years his wife's junior, had been educated for the medical profession and was a graduate of Edinburgh University. He was clever, selfish, unprincipled and extravagant, with an unhappy love of speculation, and an equally unfortunate skill at whist. He squandered altogether in his lifetime about £70,000 and, finally, became entirely dependent upon his daughter's literary earnings. William Harness, who knew the family well, and was Miss Mitford's lifelong friend, heartily disliked him and called him "a detestable old humbug" but his many failings never succeeded in alienating the affections of his wife and daughter. Mary was a very precocious child who could read before she was three years old. In 1797, she drew a prize in the Irish Lottery worth £20,000. The child herself insisted on choosing the number, 2224, because its digits made up the sum of her age. On the strength of this, Dr. Mitford built a fashionable town house on the London Road in

The infant child is not aware It has been eaten by the bear. Yes, yes, of course you comprehend Herr Hitler altogether more fully than do the rest of us, Miss Mitford — well, quis fallere possit amentem? “Who could deceive a lover?” Calm yourself — I didn’t mean it in the literal sense, though if half my female students directed a sixteenth of your ardour toward their Virgil, they would no longer say to the moutains and rocks, fall upon us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the London Examination Board. What’s that, Miss Mitford? Defend you when the soldiers first entered the plane? Well, I — yes, it was purely instinctive, I assure you. I‘d do no less for the least of my students, including Miss Frobisher. Rest assured that I was never in any real danger, though life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose, but the young think it is, and you’re very very young, Miss Mitford. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to close my eyes and try to nap. Wake me when we reach rebellatrix Germania, at which time we shall look up a colleague of mine at the Technischen Universität.

Introduction About Jan Karon A Conversation with Jan Karon Discussion Questions Introduction Come away to Mitford, the small town that takes care of its own. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mitford is a crazy quilt of saints and sinners lovable eccentrics all. Seen through the eyes of Father Tim, the long-suffering Village Rector, Mitford abounds in both mysteries and miracles, compelling readers to return again and again to this beloved series. In the tradition of James Herriot, Bailey White, and Garrison Keillor, author Jan Karon brilliantly captures the foibles and delights of a hilarious cast of characters. Book I: In At Home in Mitford , Father Tim finds himself running on empty. Even after twelve years of shepherding his flock, he finds that Emma, his secretary, persists in treating him like a ten-year-old. Barnabas, a huge black dog, adopts him, and a hostile mountain boy, Dooley, is thrust into his care. To add to his confusion, a growing friendship with Cynthia Coppersmith, his new neighbor, stirs emotions he hasn't felt in years. Book II: In A Light in the Window , Father Tim is in love and running scared. Cynthia has won his heart, but he is set in his ways and afraid of letting go. To complicate things, a wealthy and powerful widow pursues Father Tim, plying him with crab cobbler and old sherry. In the ensuing comedy of errors, he just can't set his foot right. Somehow the antidote to this confusion rests in the history of his oldest and dearest parishioner, Miss Sadie, and the discovery of family she didn't know she had.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Jessica Mitford, Mordant Critic of American Ways, and a British Upbringing, Dies at 78 By RICHARD SEVERO Jessica Mitford, whose book "The American Way of Death" won her enormous popularity as an irreverent muckraker and witty polemicist, died yesterday at her home in Oakland, Calif. She was 78. The cause was cancer, said her daughter, Constancia Romilly. Over the more than three decades that she wrote nonfiction, Miss Mitford railed against those who tried to suppress dissent over the Vietnam War, against a prison system she found to be corrupt and brutalizing, and against a medical profession she thought was greedy and given to unnecessary procedures. She even exposed the odd doings of her sisters. But it was "The American Way of Death," published in 1963, that made the British-born Miss Mitford a formidable literary figure in her adopted country. Near her death she was preparing a revision to be published next year by Alfred A. Knopf. The thesis of the book, a scathing indictment of the American funeral industry, was that undertakers had "Successfully turned the tables in recent years to perpetrate a huge, macabre and expensive practical joke on the American public."

December 2, 2001 Robert Treuhaft, Lawyer Who Inspired Funeral Exposé, Dies at 89 By PAUL LEWIS Robert Treuhaft, a crusading radical lawyer who inspired his wife, Jessica Mitford, to write her best seller "The American Way of Death," died in New York on Nov. 11. He was 89. As a union lawyer representing longshoremen in the San Francisco area in the 1950's, Mr. Treuhaft was enraged by the exorbitant fees undertakers charged, frequently consuming a widow's death benefits. After organizing the Bay Area Funeral Society to reduce the cost of funerals for union members, Mr. Treuhaft encouraged his wife to write an exposé of the funeral industry, taking a year off from his Oakland law practice to help with research. The result was "The American Way of Death," first published in 1963. Miss Mitford, who was known as Decca and who died in 1996, dedicated the work to her husband with gratitude for "his untiring collaboration." In a 1993 interview, Miss Mitford said that initially she had not been interested in the subject. "Then Bob started bringing home the trade publications like Casket and Sunnyside, Mortuary Management — all those wonderful names — so I began to study them," she said. When the British novelist Evelyn Waugh remarked that the book seemed to have been written by two people, Jessica Mitford's sister Nancy wrote back saying: "Clever of you to see the two voices. I am quite certain much of it was written by Treuhaft who is a sharp little lawyer, and who certainly made her write it in the first place."

Cheryl - flogging a dead horse To All, I'm going to flog the dead carcass a little big more and say that the New York Times review of Mansfield Park may provide a somewhat more balanced view of the new film.  At least the reviewer seems to have read either the book itself or the Cliffs Notes and have some knowledge of JA's life.   One of the main problems with movie reviews is often the complete ignorance of the writer:  I read one review of Sense and Sensibility that described the novel as a forward thinking attack on Victorian morals!  And Jane Eyre as having been written in the 17th century.  None of the reviews (of MP) I've read previously gave any indication that reviewer knew anything more about the novels of JA than who starred in the film versions. Okay, I'm going to say something that may appear to be a 180 degree flip flop from what I've been writing, but bear with me if I can remain coherent I should end up back at my original point, more or less.  The reviewer says at one point: "...Ms Rozema has added a few more startling revisionist touches like sex."

Book III: In These High, Green Hills, Father Tim fulfills Cynthia's conviction that deep down he is a man of romance, panache, and daring. Though his cup of joy overflows, his heart goes out to those around him who so badly need the healing aid of a loving heart. Chief among these is Dooley, his teenage ward, whose rough edges grate against the boarding school he both loves and hates. Can Father Tim face the much deeper needs of Dooley's mother, Pauline, and the battered young girl Lace, whose childhood has been a horror story of neglect?
