The Lively Foundation now has a wonderful new book to join the two others published by The Lively Foundation. The newest is COMING HOME TO INDIA. It tells the stories of Leslie Friedman’s dancing tours, travel experiences, and India’s fascinating history. Pictures are the front cover on the left and the back cover on the right.
Coming Home to India was launched at Stanford’s A Company of Authors, an annual event for writers connected to Stanford to present their new books. Response from the full, excited audience was enthusiastic. And more have purchased the book. Leslie’s tours were supported by the Fulbright Lectureship for India. The US State Dept extended the tour to Sri Lanka, Egypt, and Tunisia. Her unique performances and personality meant that every city where she had performed, invited her to come back. And she did; performing in larger theaters to thrilled critics and the public. All the other countries also asked her to return.

Here are Lively’s other two books. They make great gifts, but do not forget to make a gift to you. They are beautiful and interesting. It is summer time to follow the beauty of gardens (and cats and squirrels), and the wonder of butterflies. Leslie and Jonathan took care of them through all their life stages while Leslie and Jonathan searched for more willow leaves.
THE DANCER’S GARDEN, by Leslie Friedman with photographs by Jonathan Clark and Leslie Friedman. Comments on this book are full of praise: “I love it. It is a perfect book, in conception and execution. You are a marvelous writer, as I expected, and I am particularly fond of short essays. The scale and layout are just right…”Diana Ketcham, HOUSE & GARDEN, EDITOR (ret.), Books Editor, THE OAKLAND TRIBUNE (ret.) “There is so much delight and poetry and wisdom to be found in the garden and in your book!” S. Abe, CA Academy of Sciences (ret.)

These pictures are from the book OTTAWA, ILLINOIS: 1967 by Jonathan Clark, an award winning photographer and designer whose work is included in major collections in the United States, Europe and Japan. He has “assembled this book of photographs he made some 40 years ago, at the age of 15, of his home town. An homage to a specific time and place is the closing of a chapter, but one that will open forgotten memories for all who have roots in middle America.” OTTAWA, ILLINOIS: 1967 is available from The Lively Foundation. These books are from the artist’s own collection. Cost: $50 plus $7 for mailing.
