Like Nesbit’s Railway Children, the story begins when a group of children move from London to the countryside of Kent. Readers will love this optimistic and lively tale of good intentions gone hilariously awry. The young narrator’s identity is kept a secret, inviting the reader to deduce which of the intrepid Bastable children is the story-teller as they set off to restore their family’s fallen fortunes. The book is the first in a five-piece series called The Bastables Series, based around the six Bastable children: Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius H.O. ‘The Story of the Treasure Seekers’ was Nesbit’s first novel, published in 1899, and set a new precedent for English children’s literature. ![]() Many of Nesbit’s works have been adapted for film and plays, and her popular fantasy stories set the standard for modern children’s writers like J. ![]() Edith Nesbit 1858-1924 was an English author and poet who wrote and collaborated on over 60 books of children’s fiction, and is considered today to be one of the founders of modern children’s literature. ![]() ![]() Asawa then went on to develop her signature hanging-wire sculptures, create iconic urban installations, revolutionize arts education in her adopted hometown of San Francisco, fight through lupus, and defy convention to nurture a multiracial family.

However, with her own skilled storytelling and using strands from Daphne du Maurier’s original Rebecca Notebook, Susan Hill brings the story to a devastating conclusion. In Mrs de Winter Susan cleverly brings Maxim and his wife back from exile where the second Mrs de Winter believes happiness can be found at last. Susan Hill is a hugely successful author in her own right and is probably best known for The Woman in Black. The first is the sequel, Mrs de Winter, written by Susan Hill and published in 1993. Two novels really can claim to be companion books to Rebecca and are both worth reading. Rebecca is the classic gothic retelling of the Cinderella story and it could be said that, in writing it, Daphne was herself reworking Jane Eyre. Mrs de Winter by Susan Hill and Rebecca’s Tale by Sally BeaumanSince Daphne du Maurier’s most well-known novel Rebecca was published in 1938 many people have tried, with varying degrees of success, to imitate or continue the story. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Beware, Princess Elizabeth" is a fictional account of Elizabeth I's teenage and young adult years, from the time her father, King Henry VIII, died when she was 13 to when she became queen of England in 1559 at age 25. I'm not sure what I'll follow up with, but at least I am no longer completely in the dark. The simple family tree of the Tudors at the beginning of the book was a great help, and I finally feel like I've got a bit of background understanding of the dynamics at play. Mary Tudor had such a fear that Elizabeth would take the throne from her through an organized rebellion that she banished her and treated her as a prisoner for the better part of her reign. ![]() As part of the Young Royals series, the short novel is an first person account of Elizabeth's life from the death of her father King Henry VIII, through the trials and tribulations of the reign of her brother Edward VI, followed by the extreme discomfort she suffered throughout her sister Queen Mary's rule. That's when an LT friend surprised me by sending me this book in the mail. ![]() I asked around for a recommendation for a fictional account that would be easy to follow but was founded on solid research and historical accuracy. ![]() Ever since I attempted to read Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, I realized that if I wanted to appreciate that book, I needed to gain a better understanding of the Tudor lineage, personalities and power plays. ![]() ![]() ![]() We’ve seen what happens when a pedophile gets a “soft sentence,” when the police fail to investigate serious allegations of sexual abuse or, worst of all, when the wrong person is convicted. ![]() ![]() While society likes to believe that the criminal justice system always gets it right, the reality is that it is inherently flawed. As you read, you’ll learn how barristers must often present cases with incomplete information, how untrained volunteers once decided who goes to jail, and how politicians and the media tend to paint the criminal justice system in an inaccurate light. ![]() From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses, and more, the Secret Barrister reveals the best and worst of humanity and how the broken system affects all who enter it. For instance, how do you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? Or what do you say when someone is sentenced to 10 years who you believe to be innocent? And why do they wear those stupid wigs? Well, the Secret Barrister aims to show you what it’s really like inside the criminal justice system and why it matters. The world of the Secret Barrister is full of stories, oftentimes funny and ridiculous, but ultimately life-changing. The job of a barrister requires a variety of skills, whether it’s being a social worker, a relationship counselor, an accountant, a coffee supplier, and even an accountant, a barrister must wear many hats inside and outside of the courtroom. ![]() ![]() She currently resides in Harlem, in a tower named after Ella Fitzgerald. ![]() After an idyllic, small-town Ohio childhood, she spent time in Louisville, Kentucky.
