Summary

In "Grace Harlowe's Golden Summer," Josephine Chase weaves a captivating narrative that explores the joys and challenges of young adulthood through the lens of her beloved heroine, Grace Harlowe. This novel, written in the early 20th century, is marked by a rich, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the idyllic backdrop of summer adventures, camaraderie, and personal growth. Chase employs a blend of humor and sentimentality to capture the essence of adolescence, reflecting the broader cultural shift toward independence and female empowerment during the Progressive Era. Josephine Chase, an influential writer and a prominent figure in children's literature, was known for creating dynamic female protagonists who echo her own experiences and beliefs. Her background in education and her dedication to empowering young women are evident in Grace Harlowe's character, who embodies resilience and friendship. Chase's own youthful adventures, along with her commitment to fostering a sense of agency among young girls, likely inspired her to craft this compelling narrative. I highly recommend "Grace Harlowe's Golden Summer" to readers seeking an authentic exploration of friendship, growth, and the vitality of youth. This charming tale not only entertains but also invites reflection on the formative experiences that shape our lives, making it a timeless addition to the canon of young adult literature.

    Xuanzang was caught by the Yellow Brows Demon who impersonated the Buddha. The monkey was trapped inside the demon's golden cymbals. The monkey asked the deities to open the golden cymbals from the outside but to no avail. Only by letting the monkey drill into his horn after wedging it in between the cymbals did the Dragon Star save the monkey. The demon woke up and captured everyone with his cummerbund. The monkey escaped alone and invited various divine forces to help him apprehend the demon, but the demon used the cummerbund to trap all the reinforcements. The monkey was depressed. Maitreya came and asked the monkey to lure the demon out and turn into a big watermelon. The demon was duped into eating it and Maitreya finally subdued him and rescued the deities. The demon turned out to be Maitreya's escaped servant. They went back to the Land of Ultimate Bliss on the Western Continent and the pilgrims continued their journey.

    The Man Who Did Things Twice by Don Mark Lemon - The story won a $100 prize, which would be worth about $3,500 today, and appeared in the June 1905 issue of The Black Cat on page 39. 
    Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930. 
    His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat. London wasn’t having success as a writer and was about to give up but then he sold a story, A Thousand Deaths, to The Black Cat in 1899 and The Call of the Wild was published four years later! Never give up, Never Surrender!!
