In one of the most beautiful river valleys in Europe, in the region known as Périgord in southwest France, castles crown the hills, and the surrounding villages seem carved all of a piece out of the local stone. In 1985, in the shadow of one of these medieval castles, Betsy Draine and Michael Hinden fell in love with a small stone house that became their summer home. Like any romance, this one has had its ups and downs, and Betsy and Michael chart its course in this delightful memoir. They offer an intimate glimpse of a region little known to Americans—the Dordogne valley, its castles and prehistoric art, its walking trails and earthy cuisine—and describe the charms and mishaps of setting up housekeeping thousands of miles from home. Along with the region’s terrain and culture, A Castle in the Backyard introduces us to the people of Périgord—the castle’s proprietor, the village children, the gossipy real-estate agent, the rascally mason, and the ninety-year-old widow with a tale of heartbreak. A celebration of a place and its people, the book also reflects on the future of historic Périgord as tourism and development pose a challenge to its graceful way of life.

The story in this book is about a seven year old little girl named Aubree who discovers and identifies a new bird in her backyard. She has a beautiful bedroom where she reads with her cat Mr. Bunny snuggled on her lap. There are lots of toys around her room that seem to be planning her upcoming 8th birthday party. Oh what a party her parents give her. The whole backyard is set up as a mini carnival with balloons, games and prizes. Aubree receives a very special gift from her parents. She shares it with her friends and they all have fun using them. Aubree spots and identifies the bird [nicknamed Zippy] with lessons she learned from her father. Zippy eventually finds a Mrs. Zippy and they have a family. She watches this whole event from beginning to end sometimes with her best friend. In the course of Zippy's budding family, Aubree goes on vacation and feeds seagulls, catches frogs and collects lake shore items to make a keepsake bottle in remembrance of her fun vacation. She also plays with her adorable and funny Mr. Bunny. She sees gnomes come to life and go through a tiny door on a pine tree and travel to their underground world. Aubree goes on to witness Zippy come back to the same birdhouse for seven years. She realizes there are wonderful adventures to be experienced right in her own backyard.

Nathan Rabin viewed pop culture as a life-affirming form of escape throughout his childhood and adolescence. As an adult, pop culture became his life. Head writer for A.V. Club for more than a decade, Rabin uses specific books, songs, albums, films, and television shows as springboards for dissecting his Dickensian life story in his acclaimed memoir The Big Rewind. Rabin writes movingly and hilariously about how pop culture helped save him from suicidal despair, institutionalization, and parental abandonment during a childhood that sent him ricocheting from a mental hospital to a foster home to a group home for emotionally disturbed adolescents. A fun book about depression, The Big Rewind is ultimately a touching narrative of a motherless child’s search for family and acceptance, and a darkly comic valentine to Rabin’s lovable, hard-luck dad. With comic dissertations on everything from The Simpsons to The Great Gatsby, and from Grey Gardens to Dr. Dre, The Big Rewind chronicles Rabin’s improbable yet all-too-true journey through life, and its fortuitous intersections with the dizzyingly wonderful world of entertainment.
