Nelson's animated illustrations depict Sassy with a grace that belies her self-image and that effectively foreshadows the accolades to come.

Raised in Lansing, Michigan, Malcolm Little journeyed on a road to fame as astonishing as it was unpredictable. In a unique collaboration, Haley worked with Malcolm X for nearly two years, interviewing, listening to, and understanding the most controversial leader of his time. In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement to veteran writer and journalist Alex Haley. And his enduring message is as relevant today as when he first delivered it.

She must figure out how to stop the prince before he hurts her family, but her romance with the Prince's half-brother, Talin, and the risk of Prince Ceren discovering her true identity (and goals) threaten to bring an end to everything she holds dear. Nor, pretending to be Zadie, arrives in Ilara, meets the cold and pale prince, and quickly discovers that he plans to destroy Varenia by taking away their source of income: beautiful pink pearls they dive for and sell at market. Nor agrees, using a special cream to hide her scar. Zadie, who is selected by the elders to be betrothed to Prince Ceren of Ilara, is in love with the governor's son. Varenia's culture revolves around the once-in-a generation selection of the most beautiful girl to be sent to Ilara to be the crown prince's bride.

My interest was: why was she so intensely caught between public and private, words and images, trying to escape from the icon she became and cure herself with her own words? I was deeply moved to find her so desperate to match Polonius's advice 'To thine own self be true', and her solitary death made me rephrase this idea of the great psychoanalyst DW Winnicott: 'Sometimes, to save your true self, you have to kill your self as a whole.'
