Synopsis

Annie F. Johnston's trilogy, 'Mildred's Inheritance; Just Her Way; Ann's Own Way,' intricately weaves narratives of young women's coming-of-age experiences in the late 19th century. The prose, characterized by its clear, engaging style, encapsulates an era marked by societal expectations and personal aspirations. Through the lives of strong female protagonists, Johnston explores themes of independence, moral integrity, and the quest for identity in a rapidly changing society. The intertextual connections among the three books accentuate their exploration of female empowerment against the backdrop of traditional constraints. Johnston, a pioneer in children's literature, cultivated her insights from her own experiences as a teacher and writer in the early 1900s. Her deep understanding of the struggles faced by young women in a predominantly patriarchal society informed her portrayal of characters who embody resilience and self-discovery. By reflecting these struggles, she offers readers a nuanced perspective on the challenges of agency and self-determination, which were particularly resonant during her time. This trilogy is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction and feminist literature. Johnston's work showcases the complexities of women's lives with both grace and depth, inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys toward autonomy. Such timeless themes ensure that 'Mildred's Inheritance; Just Her Way; Ann's Own Way' remains relevant and poignant today.

    The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1903-1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle. The stories were published in the Strand Magazine in Great Britain, and Collier's in the United States.
    The book was first published in February 1905 by McClure, Phillips & Co. (New York) then on 7 March 1905 by Georges Newnes, Ltd. (London) and was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had "died" in "The Final Problem". Having published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901–1902, which was set before Holmes' "death", Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character. The first story is set in 1894 and has Holmes returning in London and explaining the period from 1891–1894, a period called "The Great Hiatus" by Sherlockian enthusiasts. Also of note is Watson's statement in the last story of the cycle that Holmes has retired, and forbids him to publish any more stories.
    Content: The Adventure of the Empty House / The Adventure of the Norwood Builder / The Adventure of the Dancing Men / The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist / The Adventure of the Priory School / The Adventure of Black Peter / The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton / The Adventure of the Six Napoleons / The Adventure of the Three Students / The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez / The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter / The Adventure of the Abbey Grange / The Adventure of the Second Stain

    Broken promises often lead to disappointed hopes and dreams and even broken hearts. Such was the aftermath of the Netherfield party’s departure from Hertfordshire on the heels of the ball. What if Mr. Darcy returns with his friend Mr. Bingley to Hertfordshire during the Christmas season? Darcy’s reasoning is sound. He simply means to be of service to his lovesick friend. There’s also the matter of wanting to protect Miss Elizabeth Bennet from his nemesis, George Wickham. What if Darcy’s true motive is of a rather more personal nature—one that he is not even aware of himself? When asked, by those who know her best, how she feels about Mr. Darcy’s return, Elizabeth insists his reasons can have nothing at all to do with her. Blinded by her dislike of the proud gentleman from almost the first moment of their acquaintance, will Elizabeth finally see what others see when the season brings Mr. Darcy and her back together again?

    Maine is in prison for a crime she didn't commit. 
     
     
     
    For once, the prisoner's cry of "innocence" is true. She didn't do anything wrong. 
     
     
     
    Being there of her own free will doesn't change the fact that she's locked up in a mythical prison, surrounded by the worst of the worst. 
     
     
     
    Disguised as an oni demon, Maine hopes to find the key to Chaos's realm. 
     
     
     
    That key could be Earth's last chance of survival, and it's being held by the creature who killed her father. 
     
     
     
    Turns out mythical prisons are just as gang-ridden as human ones. Except here, people don't use a shiv. They use a fireball. 
     
     
     
    Can Maine survive prison politics and terrible food long enough to find the key? Or will she be metaphorically stabbed in the back in the form of a disintegration spell?
