Greek Nymphs: Myths, Cult, Lore is the first comprehensive study of the nymph in the ancient Greek world. This well-illustrated book examines nymphs as both religious and mythopoetic figures, tracing their development and significance in Greek culture from Homer through the Hellenistic period. Drawing upon a broad range of literary and archaeological evidence, Jennifer Larson discusses sexually powerful nymphs in ancient and modern Greek folklore, the use of dolls representing nymphs in the socialization of girls, the phenomenon of nympholepsy, the nymphs' relations with other deities in the Greek pantheon, and the nymphs' role in mythic narratives of city-founding and colonization. The book includes a survey of the evidence for myths and cults of the nymphs arranged by geographical region, and a special section of the worship of nymphs in caves throughout the Greek world.

The Constant Nymph chronicles the complicated relationships within two families, primarily focusing on the character of Lewis Dodd, a charismatic, talented composer, and Tessa Sanger, the teenage daughter of his mentor, whose passionate love defies societal norms. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps and the bustling city of London, the narrative follows the lives of both the Dodd family and members of the Sanger household. The story takes a harrowing turn when the deaths of key figures destabilize the fragile equilibrium within each family. Central to the novel is the unquenchable love that Tessa Sanger harbors for Lewis. She is a vibrant and fervent young woman deeply enamored with him, despite the insurmountable barriers posed by their age difference and Lewis's marriage to her cousin. Despite these obstacles, Tessa's love for Lewis persists, and her emotions drive much of the story's tension and conflict. The Constant Nymph explores themes of love, obsession, artistic pursuit, and sacrifice, and delves into the enigma of human emotions and the complexities of unfulfilled desire. The novel has garnered praised for its vivid characters and emotional depth and has inspired various adaptations across different media over the years, including a 1943 film adaptation starring Charles Boyer and Joan Fontaine, whose performance as Tess earned her an Academy Award nomination. This Warbler Classics edition includes a biographical timeline.

Includes a 72-minute DVD demonstrating basic nymph fishing techniques Color photo sequences to teach 11 different nymph fishing methods, including Czech, hinged leader, Leisenring lift, and wet-fly swing Detailed information on imitating mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, true flies, scuds, and sow bugs In nature nothing happens without a reason. The difficulty for the angler is merely that the reason is hidden some way beneath the surface.--G. E. M. Skues During the considerable periods of time trout spend feeding exclusively on underwater food forms, nymph fishing can be the most productive, if not the only way to catch fish. But understanding what occurs below the water's surface can be a challenge for even the most experienced angler. In Nymph-Fishing Rivers and Streams, aquatic entomologist and long-time fly fisherman Rick Hafele shares the information necessary to successfully decipher the mysteries of trout life. He starts by explaining their feeding patterns--where trout feed, when they feed, and what's available for them to eat. Sections on tackle and pattern selection help anglers sort through equipment and imitations to find the best outfit for their needs. The DVD complements the photos in the book that show various methods for nymph fishing. Also included is an angler's field guide to nymphs with details on their habitat, importance to trout, and the most effective patterns and fishing tactics to imitate them.
