  Eben Holden - A Tale of the North Country. Having lost both parents and his home in northern Vermont, orphan Willie Brower is taken in by Eben Holden, "Uncle Eb" who transports him westward to save him from being sent to an orphanage. Through the Adirondacks and into the St. Lawrence valley they travel. Eben is kind, happy, and loves to tell stories to the youngster, many of which were to shape the life and ideals of Willie during his life.This story follows Willie as a young orphan, later as a journalist, and finally as a soldier who enlists in the army at the outset of the American Civil War. The book was immensely popular when it was published in 1900 and the years to follow, as the characters were all drawn from people who the author had known himself. (Summary by Roger Melin)

  The Lonely God - A Short Story

  Agatha Christie

  In the quiet halls of the British Museum, a forgotten stone idol sits unnoticed on a high shelf—its features eroded by time, its purpose long-lost. But for Frank Oliver, a lonely man recently returned to England, the little god becomes something more: a symbol of connection in a world that has passed him by. 
  When Frank notices a young woman visiting the same statue, day after day, something begins to shift. In their quiet devotion to a nameless figure, two strangers begin to find the possibility of something else—companionship, perhaps even love. 
  Agatha Christie’s The Lonely God is a tender and thoughtful departure from her usual crime stories. In this short tale, she explores isolation, identity, and unexpected human connection with quiet grace. 
  Perfect for fans of classic literature, character-driven stories, and emotional fiction with a hint of mystery.

  Jack London - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  Emma

  "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." — Jane Austen
  
  Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life in the quiet village of Highbury. Wealthy, independent, and perhaps a bit too sure of her own judgment, she occupies her time by orchestrating the romantic lives of those around her. However, her well-intentioned meddling—particularly with her protégé, Harriet Smith—leads to a comedy of errors that threatens the happiness of her friends and herself. As Emma navigates a maze of social blunders and misplaced affections, she must confront the wisdom of her longtime friend and mentor, Mr. Knightley, and finally recognize the true desires of her own heart.
  
  The Art of the "Comedy of Manners": Austen's sharp wit shines as she satirizes the social pretensions and gossip of 19th-century provincial life. Through Emma's eyes, we see a world where a misunderstood glance or a misinterpreted letter can change a person's fate. It is a brilliant study of human nature that remains as relevant today as it was in the Regency era.
  
  A Heroine's Growth: Unlike many romantic leads of her time, Emma doesn't need to marry for money or status. Her journey is internal—it is a transformation from a spoiled, self-important young woman into a mature adult who understands the weight of her influence on others. The tension between her and the stoic, honorable George Knightley provides one of the most satisfying "slow-burn" romances in fiction.
  
  Rediscover the wit and warmth of Austen's most playful work. Purchase "Emma" today.
