Sinopsis

Quatermain at eighteen, in love with a Boer girl whose father will not have an Englishman, caught in the siege of a mission station and then in the Great Trek — and at Retief's massacre by Dingaan, which he watched from a hill. Haggard went to South Africa at nineteen and helped raise the Union Jack over the Transvaal; here he wrote the Trek from Boer and Zulu testimony collected while the survivors were alive, and Marie is the first of the Quatermain books chronologically.

Joan Allway means to reform the world through journalism and finds the world has arrangements of its own — a married politician, a war, and a slum parish. Jerome was orphaned at fifteen and worked as a railway clerk, a schoolmaster and an actor before Three Men in a Boat, which he meant as a serious travel guide; this 1919 novel is his most earnest book, written by a man who had driven an ambulance in France at fifty-six.

The great author of 'Vanity Fair' and 'The Luck of Barry Lyndon' was born in India in 1811.  At age 5 his father died and his mother sent him back to England.  His education was of the best but he himself seemed unable to apply his talents to a rigorous work ethic.  However, once he harnessed his talents the works flowed in novels, articles, short stories, sketches and lectures.  Sadly, his personal life was rather more difficult.  After a few years of marriage his wife began to suffer from depression and over the years became detached from reality.  Thackeray himself suffered from ill health later in his life and the one pursuit that kept him moving forward was that of writing.  In his life time, he was placed second only to Dickens.  High praise indeed.

A gathering of the ghost story at its height: Le Fanu, Bulwer-Lytton, Wilkie Collins, Mrs Oliphant, Dickens's signalman on the line below the tunnel mouth. The Victorians produced these by the hundred for Christmas numbers, and the best of them survive because the machinery is domestic — a bell, a stairs, a letter, a man doing his job.

A Christmas Inspiration

Christmas is not in the lights, nor the gifts, nor the glittering decorations—it is in the hands that give, the hearts that open, the kindness that expects nothing in return. A Christmas Inspiration is a tale that shimmers with the quiet beauty of generosity, a story where one small act of warmth illuminates the season far brighter than any candle. With Montgomery's signature grace, the narrative unfolds like freshly fallen snow—soft, luminous, and filled with the hush of something deeply, unmistakably good. This is Christmas distilled to its essence: not what we receive, but what we choose to give.
