Harold Blomm's "Novelists and Novels" is an in-between kind of book about books. The cynic may at once think that this is the kind of book that neither the novice nor mature reader will bother with. On the contrary, the book is a beautiful bridge that crosses from the basic to the sublime.
Oh, Bother! Someone's Messy! (Disney's Winnie the Pooh)
This is one of the appealing titles in a special Pooh series that addresses -- and resolves -- simple childhood problems. This time the problem is Roo's messy room. Roo thinks cleaning things up is just too much trouble. But one day his mud pies get too messy, and no one will come over to play. Roo is about to change his ways -- thanks to the help of a few loving friends.

A Spot of Bother is the second adult novel by the author Mark Haddon, who is best known as the writer of his prize-winning first novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. This is Haddon's second novel to deal with mental health issues from the point-of-view of the patient, the first being The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
An early excerpt of A Spot of Bother (at that point titled Blood and Scissors) was published in the book New Beginnings, the proceeds from which benefited the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
