 | Penguins & Golden Calves by Madeleine L'Engle Madeleine L`Engle looks at the concept of icons, and how they are an open window to God. She also reflects on their dangers and how they could turn into idols which, rather than point to God, become gods themselves. L`Engle fans may remember some of these ideas expressed in A Circle of Quiet , but here they are fleshed out and examined much more closely as she finds examples of icons in such diverse situations as family life, Halloween, and the puppy love of girlhood.

 | Shakespeare's Sonnets by Katherine Duncan-Jones, Louis B. Wright, Simon Callow, Stanley Wells, Virginia A. LaMar Heminges and Condell dedicated the First Folio to Pembroke and his brother, Philip, and referred to their enjoyment of Shakespeare's plays in performance. Pembroke is a leading candidate for the friend and patron of Shakespeare to whom many of the sonnets were addressed, although no concrete proof exists for this identification. Oliver's miniature, painted when Pembroke was in his early thirties, shows him to be a fair-skinned man with light auburn hair and beard. AUTHOR: Katherine Duncan-Jones, Louis B.
