    A Heartwarming Victorian-Era Christmas Tale from the Beloved Author of Anne of Green Gables 
    Written in 1903, years before Lucy Maud Montgomery would achieve worldwide fame with Anne of Green Gables, "The Osbornes' Christmas" showcases the warmth, charm, and moral wisdom that would become her trademark. 
    The privileged Osborne children have everything money can buy—except the true spirit of Christmas. When their wise Cousin Myra arrives at their family estate, "The Firs," she poses a challenge that will transform their holiday season forever. What if, instead of receiving lavish gifts from their wealthy relatives, they used that money to create joy for the less fortunate children in their community? 
    What follows is a week of excitement, planning, and discovery as the junior Osbornes prepare a Christmas celebration unlike any they've known before. They invite the shy Roland children from the Hollow, the lively French-Joe boys, lame Sammy from the village, and little orphaned Tillie to a dinner party of their own—complete with a Christmas tree laden with gifts chosen with love and care. 
    Through Montgomery's signature blend of gentle humor, vivid characterization, and moral insight, this tale reminds us that the greatest gift we can give is generosity itself. Set against the snowy backdrop of turn-of-the-century rural Canada, "The Osbornes' Christmas" captures both the innocence of childhood and the transformative power of putting others first. 
    Perfect for listeners who cherish classic holiday stories, Victorian-era fiction, and tales that celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, this short story exemplifies why Lucy Maud Montgomery remains one of Canada's most beloved authors. 
    Experience the wholesome sweetness and timeless wisdom of L.M. Montgomery in this enchanting holiday treasure.

    Strong-willed Annabelle Stirling is more than capable of running the family draper shop after the untimely death of her parents. Under her father's tutelage, she became a talented cloth merchant, while her brother Wesley, the true heir, was busy philandering about Yorkshire. Knowing she must change with the times to survive, Belle installs new machinery that finishes twice the fabric in half the time it takes by hand. But not everyone is so enthusiastic. 
    Soon, riled up by Belle's competitors, the outmoded workers seek violent revenge. Her shop destroyed, Belle travels to London to seek redress from Parliament. While there, the Prince Regent, future King George IV, commissions her to provide fabrics for his Royal Pavilion. As Belle's renown spreads, she meets handsome cabinetmaker Putnam Boyce, but worries that marriage will mean sacrificing her now flourishing shop. And after Wesley plots to kidnap the newly-crowned King--whose indiscretions are surfacing--she finds herself entangled in a duplicitous world of shifting allegiances. 
    Painting a vivid portrait of life in the British Regency, Christine Trent spins a harrowing tale of ambition, vengeance, love, and complex loyalties against the dynamic backdrop of the early Industrial Revolution. 
    This is a reissued version. 
    By the King's Design is Book 3 in the Royal Trades series.

    Jude and Diana

    The only mention of Jude in Nova Scotia’s official history relates to her death: a slave-owning family was brought to trial for her murder in 1801. They were acquitted despite overwhelming evidence that they were guilty. Sharon Robart-Johnson pays tribute to such archival glimpses of enslaved people by re-creating the fullness of sisters Jude and Diana’s survival, emphasizing their joys alongside their hardship. She stories their movements through the U.S. to Nova Scotia, Canada, with the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists in 1783. As a child, Jude is sold away and then, by a lucky turn of fate, reunited with her fiercely loving family. Jude’s experiences harden her into a rebel who resists injustice without heeding consequences, and after her death, Diana is left alone to deal with racist and sexual violence.
    		 
    Through Robart-Johnson’s research, we experience nineteenth-century Nova Scotia, when political debates about abolishing slavery were just beginning to emerge. Through Robart-Johnson’s creativity, we enter the historical fiction of Jude and Diana and their strong familial bonds, each character developed with nuance and care. While chronicling the cruelty they endured, Robart-Johnson’s storytelling powerfully honours their humour, strength, and shining dignity.
