pick#WinterWonderland Day 26: Yang managed to bring history to life and made it palatable to a contemporary audience in #TheBoxer(s) and Saints. His narrative and accessible comic panels would definitely appeal to young readers‘ fascination with comics and thirst for action, with a blend of folk tale, mysticism, and magical realism thrown into the mix.

“Adrian!!!” #theboxer #WinterWonderland
Did someone say boxer? Muhammad Ali just has to be the greatest boxing legend! To achieve what he did amongst the rampant racism of the time. What a great role model then, and even more after he finished with boxing and he had to battle Parkinson‘s. The world is a poorer place without him and I am not even a boxing fan!

You can‘t “box-her” up; once a piratess has made up her mind, there ain‘t no stoppin her!!! 🏴☠️⚔️⚓️☠️
Everyone, meet Redd, the new feisty female pirate at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride; she‘s the replacement for the bride auction female who wore red.
“Two of the Polar Bear‘s nephews have been staying here for some time- Paksu and Valkotukka (fat and white hair they say it means). They are fat tummied polar cubs, and are very funny boxing one another and rolling about. But another time, I shall have them on Boxing Day, and not just at packing time” Couldn‘t resist another post when I read this! #theboxer #winterwonderland
pickCormoran Strike, former boxer and current PI, along with his partner Robin are brought in by the family of a govt minister to stop a blackmail plot. Lots of twists and turns involving government officials, wayward children, and former employees. Good winter break read. I always enjoy Strike and Robin‘s relationship. #winterwonderland #theboxer

It's a while since i read this but recall it was a gut wrenching story of boxing at its lowest reaches in the boxing clubs of the East end.
Anyway back to reading, eating, drinking and periodically nodding off before we all watch ABC murders.
Written in 1925, translated in French in 1928, it still is as interesting and vibrant as it was then. New York shines through all the pages. Dark and light, how the richs live and how the poors die. How one survives and how your life becomes filled with shades of grey. #winterwonderland #theboxer
