Encompassing an array of themes, this collection chronicles the evolution of flight through diverse literary styles, from technical expositions and daring adventure tales to visionary reflections on the role of aviation in shaping modernity. The collection offers a mosaic of perspectives that illuminate the old ventures and the unbounded aspirations of the aviators' world, presenting standout narratives that resonate with both the past and the present. Its emphasis on the exploration of human endeavor through the skies foregrounds the anthology as a significant contribution to aeronautical literature. The anthology gathers a diverse ensemble of writers whose backgrounds span the pioneers of aviation history, literary fiction, and technical writing. Notable figures such as Robert B. Meyer, Margaret Burnham, and L. Frank Baum lend their voices to an era when aviation was synonymous with progress and adventure. These authors, emerging from various cultural and historical contexts, bring to life the nuances of early aeronautical innovations and explore the broader historical and cultural movements intertwined with the pursuit of flight. Together, they craft a literary discourse that reflects the dynamic contributions to the universality of the aviation phenomenon. Recommended to both aficionados and the uninitiated, Aviation Enthusiast's Library offers readers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the multifaceted narratives of flight. This unique collection invites readers to engage with a panoply of perspectives that traverse technical insights, imaginative storytelling, and historical grandeur. Beyond mere entertainment, it serves as an educational vista, unraveling the dialogue between varied literary styles and thematic explorations. This anthology is an indispensable addition for anyone seeking to comprehend the intrinsic role of aviation in shaping human aspirations and technological ingenuity.

    ""A dozen interlinked, music-oriented stories set in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, where Garricks was raised... Each songlike story feels like a breakout hit encapsulating the brokenness and the beauty in life’s soundtrack.""—Booklist, starred review 
    “Beautifully woven . . . a magical delight.”—Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears 
    A Broken People’s Playlist is set to the soundtrack of life, comprised of twelve music-inspired tales about love, the human condition, micro-moments, and the search for meaning and sometimes, redemption. It is also Chimeka Garricks’s love letter to his native city, Port Harcourt, introducing us to a cast of indelible characters in these loosely interlocked tales. 
    There is the teenage wannabe-DJ eager to play his first gig even as his family disastrously falls apart—who reappears many years later as an unhappy middle-aged man drunk-calling his ex-wife; a man who throws a living funeral for his dying brother; three friends who ponder penis captivus and one’s peculiar erectile dysfunction; a troubled woman who tries to find her peace-place in the world, helped by a headful of songs and a pot of ginger tea. 
    Infused with the author’s resonant and evocative storytelling, each page holds “the depth of a novel” (Hari Kunzru); a character, a moment that will—like a favorite song—long linger in the heart and mind.

    Dorothy Kathleen Broster was born on 2nd September 1877 at Devon Lodge in Grassendale Park, Garston, Liverpool. 
    At 16, the family moved to Cheltenham, where she attended Cheltenham Ladies' College and then on to St Hilda’s College, Oxford to read history, where she was one of the first female students, although at this time women were not awarded degrees. 
    Broster served as secretary to Charles Harding Firth, a Professor of History for several years, and collaborated on several of his works. Her first two novels were co-written with a college friend, Gertrude Winifred Taylor. 
    With the Great War interrupting her literary ambitions she served as a Red Cross nurse at a Franco-American hospital, but returned to England with a knee infection in 1916.  
    After the war, she moved near to Battle in East Sussex and took up writing full-time.  
    In 1920 she at last received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Oxford. 
    Her novels, mainly historical fiction, peaked in popularity with ‘The Flight of the Heron’, in 1925, a best-seller followed up by two sequels. 
    As well as poetry and various articles she also wrote several short stories, the best known of which is a classic of weird fiction ‘The Couching at the Door’ in which an artist appears to be haunted by a mysterious entity. 
    An intensely private individual many readers deduced from her name that she was both a man and Scottish. 
    D K Broster died in Bexhill Hospital on 7th February 1950.  She was 73.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    Kipling in these more modern times is increasingly seen as an apologist for the bad ways of evil empires.  It’s a simplistic analysis and avoids much of his literary talent that is entertaining, scary and down right brilliant story telling whatever the background it is based on or comes from.
