Dartmoor Legacy

T.C. Bridges

At the Bar-Tor farm in Dartmoor, owned by young Robert Hamlin. Downstairs, on the red land of Devon, a porcelain clay deposit was found, the value of which, although not fantastic, was large enough to make searchers be interested in the possibilities of buying all the property. Their idea was to get it before Robert Hamlin realized that he had a hidden asset that cost a lot more than all of his agricultural land. But they did not outsmart him.

Złodziejki czasu

Hanna Cygler

Złodziejki czasu to opowieść o czterech pisarkach: Marii Teresie, Elwirze, Kindze i Annie autorkach romansu, kryminału, horroru, biografii. Każda z nich jest inna. Różnią się wiekiem, charakterem, sytuacją życiową i gatunkiem pisanych przez siebie książek. Kobiety doświadczą osobistych dramatów i przemian. Będą miały swe nadzieje i ambicje, zarówno literackie, jak i prywatne. Przeżyją nowe miłości, ale i niespodziewane zdrady. Będą się borykać z problemami małżeńskimi, jak i skrywaną przez lata tajemnicą... Powieść w nieco humorystyczny sposób przedstawia rozterki pisarek, ich pracę twórczą i źródła inspiracji.

Its a little book composed of an unfinished novel written in a completely different style than other Mary Webb novels, and a collection of short stories and drafts that appeared in various publications.
