Mary Zimmermanrsquo;s The Secret in the Wings adapts a group of lesser-known fairy tales to create a theatrical work that sets their dark mystery against her signature wit and humor. The framing story concerns a child and the frightening babysitter with whom her parents leave her. As the babysitter reads from a book; the characters in each of the tales materialize; with each tale breaking off just at its bleakest moment before giving way to the next one.The central tale is told without interruption; after which each previous tale is successively resumed; with each looming disaster averted. As in Zimmermanrsquo;s other productions; here she uses costumes; props; sets; and lighting to brilliant effect; creating images and feelings that render the fairy tales in all their elemental and enduring power.

It is not meant for a person looking for suggestions or ideas on early american architecture/arts and crafts/mission style interiors.44 of 46 people found the following review helpful. Chiefly focuses on the history and architecture of missionBy A CustomerThis book goes as far back as the Moors in Spain to explain mission style architecture. There is a great deal of discussion of exterior mission style and relatively little example of interior design. A great reference if you want to study the foundations of mission style; and view current examples of the architecture. Not very useful in interior decorating.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. clean one sweet..By Evergreenclean one sweet.... Excellent
