It is still the case that, as Factor noted, very little “critical attention. This is especially so, given the exponential development of the academic study of writing for children since the 1970s-and, indeed, throughout the forty-one years since the publication of a perceptive tribute by June Factor in Children’s Literature in Education in 1979. It is therefore surprising that Joyce Lankester Brisley has not been the subject of a substantial biography or critical study to date. ![]() The total includes two anthologies published since Brisley’s death in 1978-these being The Joyce Lankester Brisley Book (Chambers Harrap 1981) and The Best of Milly Molly Mandy (a boxed four-volume set of previously-published collections, Gardners Books 2004). Joyce Lankester Brisley’s Milly Molly Mandy books have been regularly reprinted since their first publication almost a century ago (in the Christian Science Monitor in 1924). ![]()

The role of religion is important - not least because it shaped the only real world view that existed in medieval Europe. Religious figures blamed the sins of the people and urged more prayer - though sometimes they were honest enough (at least in private) to admit that this would have little effect. while the scale of the suffering sometimes varied, the ineffectual responses were very similar.

Books one and three of the trilogy concentrate heavily on the evil Brady Hartsfield, a mass murderer who's also obsessed with suicide. He's teamed with Holly Gibney, a woman with multiple issues of her own, along with Jerome Robinson, a student and former lawn boy for Bill. Which one will Bill Hodges do? He's certainly an engaging sleuth, although a somewhat stereotypical one: retired police officer, divorced, battling health problems and with a past drinking problem. The title, one that fits the story perfectly, comes from an American expression for police officers at the end of their working life. ![]() ![]() Let him that seeketh, attain it and as to him that hath refused to seek it-verily, God is Self-Sufficient, above any need of His creatures.
