Sinopsis

In "Homespun Tales," Kate Douglas Wiggin weaves a rich tapestry of narrative that captures the simplicity and charm of rural life in New England. Through a series of interconnected stories, Wiggin explores themes of family, community, and the everyday struggles and joys of her characters, all rendered in her distinctive, lyrical prose. The book reflects the literary movement of local color writing that emerged in the late 19th century, celebrating the distinctive social fabric and dialects of specific regions, while promoting a deep sense of nostalgia and belonging. Kate Douglas Wiggin, born in 1856, was a prominent author and social reformer, deeply influenced by the values of compassion and community that surrounded her in Maine. Besides her literary endeavors, her experiences as a founder of kindergartens and her advocacy for children's education uniquely informed her perspective, imbuing her tales with warmth and authenticity. Wiggin's passion for storytelling is not only a reflection of her love for her native New England but also echoes her commitment to social change through literature. "Homespun Tales" is a delightful read that invites readers into a world where simplicity reigns and profound truths emerge from ordinary lives. It is highly recommended for those who appreciate pastoral narratives and wish to explore the heart of American folk culture through a masterful storyteller's lens.

About Chesterton and Belloc...

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
ABOUT CHESTERTON AND BELLOC: It has been one of the less possible dreams of my life to be a painted Pagan God and live upon a ceiling. I crown myself becomingly in stars or tendrils or with electric coruscations (as the mood takes me), and wear an easy costume free from complications and appropriate to the climate of those agreeable spaces.

This Crazy Love

J.H. Croix

Shay: Jackson Stone is hot—like burn-down-buildings kind of hot. He's also my brother's best friend, and the memory of one kiss with him years ago still might get to me. Maybe. But, I am not looking for a second chance. 
 
 
 
When I return to the small town of Stolen Hearts Valley, my life is a hot mess. I'm a few bucks shy of broke with nowhere else to go. My heart's battered and bruised, and when it comes to romance, the door is nailed shut. But Jackson's the kind of man women ruin panties over. Oh, and he's my roommate. Talk about too close for comfort. 
 
 
 
When I'm at my most vulnerable, he pulls that whole knight-in-shining-armor thing. What can I say? He's near impossible to resist. 
 
 
 
Jackson: Shay Martin is my best friend's little sister. And she's so hot she nearly sets me on fire. 
 
 
 
She's a walking complication, and I don't do complications. But I can't seem to stay away from her. It doesn't help that her bedroom is across the hall from mine. 
 
 
 
Every look, every kiss, every touch nearly brings me to my knees. I can't keep my balance, much less think. Before I know it, I'll do anything for her. Complications be d*mned. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
