Reseña del libro "Every Picture Ap1 (en Inglés)"
Every Picture Tells a Story is a book containing many wonderful illustrations from the early CHUMS Boys' Story Paper of the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Each illustration had its own particular relevance at the time to the part of the original story in which it appeared. These illustrations now taken on their own have inspired the re-interpreted stories which are now attributed to them. All are original and with a humorous slant on the picture subject. Throughout the stories in this book various characters and events are named and described and these as the reader will discover appear and occur more than once. Therefore to give some continuity to some of the stories these characters and events are now introduced. A well known author and traveller from Scandinavia spent many, many months travelling throughout England seeking out the more unusual and interesting people and events to be recorded in his massive two volume Guide to England. His name was Knut Vorgebrund. Stubbington-Minge is the name of a long established county family and whose history is well recorded in the book by the same author, The Life and Times of Wilberforce Stubbington-Minge. There are several references to this family throughout. Associated and inextricably interwoven with the Stubbington-Minge name is that of the less aristocratic family of the Croakers, again the full history of these individuals can be found in the aforementioned book. Within the world of Illusions and Magic, the Asquith Bothers are encountered quite frequently and always associated with less than memorable occasions. In all ages there has been the entrepreneur, ready to take advantage of any situation and turn it to his advantage, a certain Earnest Wackwell is one of these characters and reference to his Emporium and its wares will be found throughout. Insurance and Banking has long been part of any well-ordered society and one of the insurance companies which appears in this book is that of The Albatross Insurance & Disinterested Loan Company a subsidiary of the more well-known Anglo-Bengalee Disinterested Loan and Life Assurance Company. Throughout the history of exploration and travel there have been many intrepid, and in some instances foolhardy characters who, despite the odds being heavily weighed against them, continue in their pursuit of the unobtainable. Murtley McWeaver and the Hon. Sebastian Quiller-ffinch being two of the more notable; they are joined in no lesser way by a young adventurer and his eccentric Uncle Ulysses. The Military has always played a large part in history. Among the less well known historians is found Enoch Arkwright, a member of a fairly prominent family in the north of England. His monumental Encyclopedias appear throughout the stories of the Military. Other characters and events fleetingly appear and leave a thin connecting thread between events and people, to say more would be unnecessary, therefore the reader is now left to enjoy the stories.
