The Green Mirror

Hugh Walpole

Her strength lies mainly in her ability, as she is understood to be unsympathetic, to impose creative possibilities on those whom she loves, and singles out a caring Catherine as a person whose fate she wants to control. When Katherine agrees to be engaged during the year, she realizes the need to pay any reasonable price to keep her mother and Trenchards.

His Back Against the Wall

Max Brand

Bad News for Bad Men is an excellent classic story by the incomparable Max Brand (Frederick Faust). Great read with Maxs leading off to unexpected places with characters you come to know personally. Max leads the reader to characters bigger than life, they come to life as people we wish we knew personally. People who deal with life by taking an active part instead of just observing as it passes by. Brand along with Zane Grey and Louis LAmour form the holy trinity of western writers. If youve read the other two and not Brand, then youre not experiencing everything the western can be. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre!

The Great Pandolfo

Paula Field was a woman who happily suffered from most people. Such a gift as a gift of a song or painting or a solution to acrostic. Consequently, she had many more friends around the world who loved her than it was humanly possible to love her in return. From time to time, the jealous turned around a scorpion and stung her. They called her insincere.

Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist est un excellent exemple de fiction persuasive. Cest lune des histoires les plus célebres de Charles Dickens. Des personnages comme le maléfique Fagin avec son groupe de voleurs et de méchants. Lhistoire dOliver Twist, orphelin et bombardé par le mal et le malheur. Le roman est sans aucun doute fascinant, avec beaucoup de mysteres et de tournures insidieuses.

The Secret of Smoking Swamp

T.C. Bridges

Set against a Florida background, this story tells of the adventures of Bill Picton and his young companions who trail a gang of moonshiners through the steaming, sluggish swamp-lands. Fitzgordon had never in his life before been in a tropical swamp, and the very first thing he did was to get both feet tangled in a coil of tough bamboo vine, and come down flat on his face on the wet black muck. The stuff was like rotten sponge, and just as full of water as it would hold. When he gained his feet again he was soaked from his knees to his neck.
