Rainbow Valley - A Nostalgic Tale of Family Community and Imagination in a Small Town Setting

L. M. Montgomery

Beschreibung

In "Rainbow Valley," L. M. Montgomery continues the beloved story of Anne Shirley and her family, weaving a narrative rich with themes of childhood, community, and the passage of time. Set within the idyllic backdrop of Avonlea, the novel captures the innocence of youth through the lens of the Blythe children and their lively encounters with the new settlers, the Merediths. Montgomery's characteristic lyrical prose and vivid descriptions breathe life into Prince Edward Island's landscapes, intricately exploring the emotional lives of her characters while intertwining humor with poignant moments of personal growth and moral lessons. This installment serves not only as a continuation of Anne's life but also delves into the vibrant community dynamics that shape the children's experiences. L. M. Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and the rich tapestry of her local environment. Her personal challenges, including her struggle with isolation and familial duty, influenced her depiction of character relationships and the quest for belonging in "Rainbow Valley." Writing in the early 20th century, Montgomery was attuned to the shifting societal structures and the emergence of rural Canadian identity, themes that resonate throughout her works. Readers of all ages will find "Rainbow Valley" a delightful exploration of friendship, adventure, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This charming novel offers profound insights wrapped in an engaging narrative that invites contemplation on the joys and trials of growing up. Montgomery's timeless storytelling continues to resonate, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking solace and inspiration in the enchanting world of Anne of Green Gables.

She's also the protector of both, a neutral being who carefully navigates the Accords between oblivious humans and the creatures who wouldn't mind snacking on them. Unfortunately for both sides, Violet is terrible at her job. 
 
 
 
After the last Potion Master dies a horrible death and she's pulled out of anonymity by a handsome and super annoying demon, Violet's shop transforms and she's thrust into unwanted instafame. And not the good kind, either. 
 
 
 
Suddenly, everyone either wants to date her, or they want to kill her. 
 
 
 
And, honestly? Violet isn't sure which one is easier anymore.

So Big - Unabridged

Edna Ferber

"So Big" is author Edna Ferber's breakout, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of life on an American farm and features one of the most iconic characters in 20th century fiction, the hardscrabble schoolteacher-turned-truck-farmer Selina Peake DeJong.  A sensation when it was first published, "So Big" tells the story of young Selina, who moves to the tiny farming town of High Prairie to become a schoolteacher and winds up marrying local farmer, Purvis DeJong.  After Purvis dies, leaving Selina in charge of both the farm and her young son Dirk, Selina is forced to run the farm all by herself and do all she can to pave the way for Dirk to become a success.  Apart from the compelling, heart-wrenching and inspiring tale of life on a 19th century farm, "So Big" also offers a fascinating glimpse of industrial-era Chicago, from the burgeoning Gold Coast to the rough-and-tumble Haymarket.  "So Big" is an early triumph of Edna Ferber's, who would later go on to write dozens of books, plays and short stories and become one of the 20th century's most beloved and successful authors.
