The Tempest family estate was long-standing, extremely wealthy, and passed from father to son through many generations; but complications arose in the late nineteenth century. These complications, and what they led to, are set forth in this marvelous tale, which has elements of the sensational novel and elements of the new womens romance mixed with a touch of family saga and romance.

Behind this rather prim title lies the hilarious fictional diary of a disaster-prone lady of the 1930s, and her attempts to keep her somewhat ramshackle household from falling into chaos. Written with humour, this charming novel is full of the peculiarities of daily life. As witty and delightful today as when it was first published in 1930, Diary of a Provincial Lady is a brilliantly observed comic novel and an acknowledged classic.
Carolyn Wells
Dick and Dolly was published in 1909 and told in a manner which makes the story really true to young readers. It is the story of nine-year old orphan twins (brother and sister) who have to move from one aunts home to live with some other aunt in Connecticut. This transfer of their dwelling-place didnt bother Dick and Dolly much, for they were philosophical little people and took things just as they happened, and, moreover, they were so fond of each other, that so long as they were together, it didnt matter to them where they were. But to the two people who lived in the old Dana place, and who were about to receive the twin charges, it mattered a great deal. Although written over 100 years ago, the issues facing orphaned children and those who care for them are as timely today as they were then.

Thorne Smith
This early work by Thorne Smith was originally published in 1930. James Thorne Smith, Jr. was an American author who specialized in supernatural fantasy fiction under the byline Thorne Smith. Did She Fall? (1930) is a straight murder mystery whose dialogue shows occasional traces of Smiths wisecracking energy. Americas bawdiest, wittiest writer turns his talents to a startling novel of murder, suspense and brilliant detection. Welcome to the Crewe house, where it is one for all and all for one. Unless, of course, you are the beautiful blonde, Emily-Jane. When she was bad, she was very, very bad, and when she was good, she was luscious until somebody killed her, or did she fall? So many would-be murderers, but only one would get to her first. Who will win out in the end?
