My soul was not feeling particularly battered (except for this seemingly endless La Niña rain!) but I definitely felt soothed after reading these four short interconnected cat stories. One of the online sites that came up when I duck, duck, go’d this title, suggested She and Her Cat was one of the five translated books this season that could soothe a battered soul. ![]()

This is the nanny who takes wild and rebellious children and reforms them. ![]() The magical, ugly, tough, no-nonsense nanny who only comes when you don’t want her and leaves as soon as you do. And the movie is equally delightful, albeit a bit different. Setting aside the cheats that Nurse Matilda gets to employ, is this a book that is worthy? Is it true, is it good, is it beautiful? Yes. This is where Nurse Matilda (and books like it including Mary Poppins) are a bit tiresome for the mother out there who longs for that magical shortcut to good old-fashioned parenting. If I had a magical staff, and could creatively bind my children to their bad behavior, such that they want to change it themselves, how much easier would my life be? But I can’t do that. And while her magic is part of what makes her endearing, it’s also what makes her frustrating. I really don’t think there’s anything objectionable in the book, but I cringe because I don’t have Nurse Matilda’s magical staff. Wearing the hat of a mother, however, I cringe ever so slightly. Wearing the hat of my inner child, I adore the book. When I consider recommending it, however, I realize that I have to wear two different hats. Nurse Matilda by Christianna Brand is one of those books that the child in any of us would enjoy. ![]() ![]() Levy died of cancer in February 2019 at the age of 62, a few months before the National Theatre was to stage an adaptation of Small Island.

Since the trickster is culture’s ultimate shape-shifting, boundary-crossing figure, “there will be some sort of representative wherever humans invent boundaries, which is to say, everywhere.” Hyde refers in passing to one of Europe’s most notorious tricksters, Till Eulenspiegel, who enters folk literature in the early sixteenth century but is supposed to have flourished earlier, in the fourteenth, crossing back and forth like a picaresque hero across his native Germany, the Netherlands, and Bohemia. A list of history’s mythic tricksters, Lewis Hyde says in his book “ Trickster Makes This World” (1998), would be endless. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the Bush administration deployed these ghost militias, President Barack Obama has expanded their operations and given them new scope and legitimacy.
