Set in the diverse neighborhood of a big city, this poignant and universal story of friendship tells about two best pals who share everything together—even making up after a quarrel. “Children will recognize their own relationships in the ebb and flow of Matthew and Tilly’s friendship.”—Booklist “There can never be too many books about the importance of friendship and forgiveness—especially when they are of this caliber.”—Publisher’s Weekly “This modest story line swells with the visual excitement of Peck’s paintings. . . . Their power lingers in the mind long after they have been seen.”—School Library Journal

John Haslam’s Illustrations of Madness, written in 1810, occupies a special place in psychiatric history, it was the first book-length account of one single psychiatric case written by a British psychiatrist. John Haslam, apothecary to London’s Bethlem Hospital, and a leading psychiatrist of the early-nineteenth century, details the case of James Tilly Matthews, who had been a patient in the hospital for some ten years. Matthews claimed he was sane, as did his friends and certain doctors. Haslam, on behalf of the Bethlem authorities, contended he was insane, and attempted to demonstrate this by presenting a detailed account of Matthew’s own delusional system, as far as possible in Matthew’s own words. Originally published in 1988 as part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry series, Roy Porter’s Introduction to this facsimile reprint of an historic book goes beyond Haslam’s text to reveal the extraordinary psychiatric politics surrounding Matthew’s confinement and the court case it produced, leading up to Haslam’s dismissal from his post. Still relevant today, Haslam’s account can be used as material upon which to base a modern diagnosis of Matthew’s disorder.
