Beschreibung

In "Gem of Neatness: Or, The Cousins," Madeline Leslie presents a richly woven narrative that explores the intricacies of familial relationships and moral development. Set against a backdrop of 19th-century American society, the novel employs a didactic tone, typical of the period, to illuminate the virtues of neatness, discipline, and propriety. Through the lens of the cousins' adventures and misadventures, Leslie masterfully intertwines elements of daily life with profound moral lessons, creating a compelling text that balances entertainment with educational value. Madeline Leslie, an educator and author of children's literature, wrote this book at a time when the moral instruction of youth was paramount. Her experiences in teaching likely inspired her to craft stories that both engaged young readers and imparted essential virtues. Leslie's background reflects the feminist movements of her time, aiming to empower young women through literature that not only entertains but also instructs. Recommended for readers of all ages, "Gem of Neatness" serves as both a charming tale of cousins' companionship and an insightful commentary on the virtues that underpin a well-lived life. This novel is an excellent choice for those interested in children's literature that fosters moral integrity and offers a glimpse into the societal expectations of the 19th century.

    Rum, a sailing ship, and a dare…   …What could go wrong?   Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown.   Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Poe’s Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men’s souls.   This new edition, with a new Foreword by New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe’s novel, which inspired H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.

    Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
    Anna's Love Letters:"Are you going to answer Gilbert's letter tonight, Anna?" asked Alma Williams, standing in the pantry doorway, tall, fair, and grey-eyed, with the sunset light coming down over the dark firs, through the window behind her, and making a primrose nimbus around her shapely head.
