The book is the winner of a Houghton Mifflin Liter- ary Fellowship Award. It is a unique portrait of Antarctica. This book is about the other Antarctica, the ‘Banana Belt” of the Antarctic Peninsula. The interior of the peninsula is biological haiku: a few eloquent syllables of plants and animals. The tallest plant is a Jichen ten centimeters high, the largest land animal a flightless midge two millimeters long. But the sea surrounding the peninsula brims with life like no other on earth. “My Love Affair with England” by Susan Allen Toth is a traveler's memoir, in which the author shares an aspect of her extraordinary inner life: the quietly passionate side ofa woman who has been in loye with England for the past 30 years. This modern odyssey explores what happens when the vital imagina- tion of a writer from the American Midwest meets the many-layered legacy that is Great Britain. An in- depth look at England. The staff of the Back Mountain Memorial Library wishes everyone a most joyous, cheerful and peace- ful Christmas. Greetings from Martha, Nancy, Marilyn, Jennifer, Jane, Lou Ellen, Millie and Marie.
