    Please Note: This is a short story. 
    Miss Anne de Bourgh is the son her father always wanted, except for one rather large detail. Still, her being a girl doesn't stop her from hunting, shooting, riding, and fencing as well as her cousins, and when her older cousin Henry wrongs her, Anne ropes Darcy and Richard into a scheme to exact revenge. But Anne is about to learn that even her father, who has always encouraged her in all her pursuits, thinks she's gone too far this time, and his punishment will be dire indeed. 
    That's right, it's time for Anne to meet her greatest adversary . . . Mrs. Jenkinson. 
    The Adventures of Miss Anne de Bourgh of Rosings is a short story prequel to Mr. Darcy's Bookshop. Enjoy!

    The Beauties

    Anton Chekhov

    One great example of Chekhov's minimalism is found in The Beauties, a very short "story" - I use the term loosely, because it is really just two snapshots, two unrelated anecdotes in which a man describes seeing true beauty in two different women. These women are imperfect, yet enigmatically alluring.
    Chekhov's genius lies in the way he manages to convey with such apparent effortlessness a profound sense of the mystery of beauty, and of the sadness of those who observe and think. The narrator of this apparently inconsequential tale fixes on exactly the right details, from a myriad of possible ones, to strike at the heart. It's a masterpiece of minimalism.

    Charles Dickens wrote The Cricket on the Hearth in 1845, at a time when the warmth of hearth and home was a cherished ideal, providing comfort amidst the rapid changes of Victorian England. Unlike Dickens’ earlier social critiques, this novella is a quieter, more introspective work—a celebration of domestic life, love, and the enduring power of hope. Through the tale of the Peerybingle family and their trials, Dickens invites readers into a cozy household where even the smallest, most seemingly inconsequential creature—a cricket—can become a symbol of resilience and joy.
