Mosses from an Old Manse and Other Stories
Nathaniel Hawthorne
An early collection of fairy tales. Some of the subtle, almost subconscious problems that Hawthorne faces with female sexuality. Like the stories, these plays often do not follow the traditional dramatic arcs that can disappoint, but Hawthorne is always more interested in character than plot, so you just need to abandon any expectations of high drama and sometimes enjoy the amazing revelations that come from his attention to atmospheric details.
Janusz Korczak
Zbiór opowieści dla dzieci autorstwa Janusza Korczaka. Były publikowane jako powieść w odcinkach w czasopiśmie dla dzieci Promyk w 1909 roku. Korczak wykorzystał w nich doświadczenia z pracy na kolonii letniej w Michałówce z 1907 roku. Poszczególne odcinki powieści wzbudzały duże zainteresowanie młodych czytelników, o czym świadczą odpowiedzi redakcji na ich listy.
Mary Cholmondeley
The author gives a satirical view of village life, which is so present in the work of her famous predecessors. The moral here may well be that swearing to keep someone elses secret safe is the best way to destroy your own future.
Maxim Gorky
The novel Mother, one of Gorkys most popular works, was based on the mass demonstration of 1902 in the city of Sormovo. Hence, an exciting plot based on real events, with a sharp political struggle, secret gatherings, searches, arrests, and the selfless heroism of the main revolutionary hero Pavel Vlasov. However, the central image in the novel is Pelageya Nilovna Vlasova, the mother of the hero, one of the most striking and exciting characters in Russian literature, symbolizing the eternal image of the Mother endowed with the gift of unlimited love and patience.
L. Frank Baum
None of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them most tenaciously. Published three years before L. Frank Baum achieved fame with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, this engaging volume added an exciting new dimension to old, much-loved verses. The book contains 22 prose fables based on famous nursery rhymes: Old King Cole, Little Miss Muffet, The Cat and the Fiddle and many others. Baum gives the stories English settings and ambience, with mentions of London, the Sussex downs, and the River Dee. His tactic in the book is to take the often-nonsensical nursery rhymes and weave coherent, or at least self-consistent, stories from them. This wonderful collection of short stories is another delightful addition to anyone who is a fan of Baums work. Based on famous Mother Goose rhymes, all stories are fascinating background tales of the various characters involved.
Mary Elizabeth Braddon
This book is romance, mystery, murder, Christian and the best part of lost love. The main character listened to the often told story, kneeling in the firelight, at her aunts knee, a ruddy glow gently touched her light soft hair and a brighter forehead, her large blue eyes looked with love on Mrs. Tregonells face. And he was a widower, Aunt Diana, she repeated with an expression of disgust, as if something had clenched her teeth.
Max Brand
Hometown Cowboy was an easy introduction into the Rocky Mountain Riders. Sexy cowboy, a heroine whos a dreamer and rescues animals, chocolate, a darling little pig, family struggles and mending broken relationships. Hometown Cowboy was a tempting introduction to the Rocky Mountain Riders.
T.C. Bridges
Jim was a tall boy, taller than Bart and probably a year older, and would have looked nice if not for his conceited expression. His hair was black as ink, he had very dark eyes, and his skin was darker than that of an ordinary Englishman. Behind him was a small plump guy who looked like a groom or nursery. The new arrival looked at his dogs, then turned to Bart.
