Penny Plain (Classic Reprint) by O. Douglas Pdf

Excerpt from Penny Plain The schools had skailed, and the children, finding in the weather little encouragement to linger, had gone to their homes. In the little houses down by the riverside brown teapots stood on the hobs, and rosy-faced women cut bread and buttered scones, and slapped their children with a fine impartiality; while in the big houses on the Hill, servants, walking delicately, laid out tempting tea tables, and the solacing smell of hot toast filled the air.

Penny Plain by O. Douglas Pdf

"Penny plain but pound happy" are the merry inhabitants of this old world cottage set in the quaint and charming atmosphere of a Scottish village... "A very able and delightful book." -Times "A triumphant success....Do you wish to read a new novel which will make you happy all the time of your first acquaintance with it, and happy whenever you may chance to think of it Such a novel is 'Penny Plain.' -The British Weekly "If any Scottish story as good as 'Penny Plain' has been written these twenty years we must have missed it." -Aberdeen Fall Press "A family of orphan children in a small Scottish town, their maid, their dog, their neighbors, an unexpected fortune and happy marriages for all concerned make a slightly improbable but interesting story without problems. Will be enjoyed by the many people who like a simple, happy romance." -The Booklist Books "The heroine is in reality named Jean Jardine. She lives in a cottage in a small Scotch town, and is both mother and sister to her young brothers. Jean is one of the most delightful girls in contemporary literature. The charm of the book lies in style and characterization." -The Interior "Those who enjoy a comfortable story, one without scandal or murder or adventure by fire or flood, will do well to secure 'Penny Plain' at once. The scene is laid in a quiet country village, to which comes an 'Honorable Lady' who has grown sick of fashionable life and of the constant round of gaiety. Jean, the heroine, is a charming character. The boys, the dog, the people of the village, the rich but lonely old man, the nobleman who has only to see Jean to fall in love with her - all these are well worth knowing and all wear an air of reality. It is a comfort to read a book that records the simple annals of a quiet neighborhood - a book that leaves no bad taste in the mouth. Everything moves so smoothly and the description is so quiet and unostentatious that it is only when the story is done that the reader realizes to the full the artistic skill of the author." -The Baptist

A Book of Cambridge Verse (Classic Reprint) by Ernest Edward Kellett Pdf

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Cheap Modernism by Lise Jaillant Pdf

We often think of Mrs Dalloway or A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as difficult books, originally published in small print runs for a handful of readers. But from the mid-1920s, these texts and others were available in cheap format across Europe. Uniform series of reprints such as the Travellers' Library, the Phoenix Library, Tauchnitz and Albatross sold modernism to a wide audience - thus transforming a little-read "e;highbrow"e; movement into a popular phenomenon. The expansion of the readership for modernism was not only vertical (from "e;high"e; to "e;low"e;) but also spatial - since publisher's series were distributed within and outside metropolitan centres in Britain, continental Europe and elsewhere. Many non-English native speakers discovered texts by Joyce, Woolf and others in the original language - a fact that has rarely been mentioned in histories of modernism. Drawing on extensive work in neglected archives, Cheap Modernism will be of interest to all those who want to know how the new literature became a global commercial hit.

So Much To Tell by Valerie Grove Pdf

Kaye Webb, a journalist with no publishing experience, burst into the world of children's books in 1961 and changed the face of children's publishing forever. Her child-like enthusiasm and shrewd business mind led her to become Puffin's most successful editor and the genius behind the Puffin Club, which opened up the exciting world of authors and books to children across Britain. But whilst Kaye's professional life had worked out beautifully, her private life had been the reverse. Kaye had two husbands before her marriage to the artist Ronald Searle, and the torment of his sudden and shocking departure never left her. Yet to the outside world Kaye Webb remained passionate and unstoppable. This is the unknown story of the woman who brought the joy of books to children everywhere whilst battling the emotional pain that plagued her private life.
