SHORTLISTED FOR THE DEREK WALCOTT PRIZE FOR POETRYIt is the current Poet Laureate who has done the most to bring medieval poetry to contemporary audiences . . . in its own eccentric way, [The Owl and the Nightingale] is every bit as enticing as Gawain . . . it is arguably the greatest early Middle English poem we have. ProspectA graceful, elegant translation. GuardianFollowing his acclaimed translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, Simon Armitage shines light on another jewel of Middle English verse. In his highly engaging version, Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fiery verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous. The disputed issues still resonate - concerning identity, cultural habits, class distinctions and the right to be heard. Excerpts were featured in the BBC Radio 4 podcast, The Poet Laureate Has Gone to His Shed. Including the lively illustrations of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, this is a book for the whole household to read and enjoy.

Stopped charging one month later.
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
It was great even though it grinds very coarse. It can be adjusted but the finer is still too coarse but that was not a big deal. It has now stopped taking charge at the base and there’s no other way to charge it… since the return window closed, to the trash it goes

Works Very Well
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
At first salt spilled from bottom and top was loose. I then realized there was an adjustment on bottom that took care of that issue and if I put top on until it clicked, it locked. They work very nicely and I would recommend them.

Convenient set with charging stand and light
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Recommend for anyone who cooks and wants fresh seasoning with less hassle. The built-in light on the bottom was a pleasant surprise and ends up being genuinely useful. It helps you see exactly where the seasoning is going and how much you’re dispensing, especially when you’re cooking in the evening or working over darker foods. That small detail makes the set feel more practical than a basic grinder.
