...best deal I've ever come across in my vast experience as a Christmas maven was a local bank that took pictures of kids (any age) with Santa, then sent you packing with a gift, food and a candy cane pen. Although the pen has long since dried up, the food digested and the toy discarded, the family still has the pictures of Santa and the clan. Some things never change...

Her tragedy was that she wanted to live on her own intense terms, not merely to survive as an emotional cripple on Thorazine crutches.

David Macaulay has won an international reputation without being able to draw believable people. What he can draw-churches, cities, pyramids-he does better than any other pen-and-ink illustrator in the world. His previous books have examined the construction and administration of those structures; Castle (Houghton Mifflin; $8.95) once again goes through a brick-by-brick assembly, employing crosshatches and thin black lines to evoke a medieval place and period...
