    Winston Churchill was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. He grew up with stories of his ancestor, John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, who led the British army to triumph against the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession.After serving in the British Cavalry, Winston followed his father in politics, eventually becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain as Europe descended into war once again. Before long, the British stood alone against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. During this dark time, Winston’s leadership skills were put to the test as he encouraged his countrymen to stand firm against the would-be German invaders. Without Winston Churchill’s courage, vision, and perseverance under these extreme circumstances, the outcome of World War II might well have been very different (1874–1965).

    To swim in that river full of shining stones was one of the most beautiful things that ever happened in her life. Somehow she knew the names of the stones: emerald, ruby, topaz, sapphire, sardonyx, onyx, jade, pearl, lapis lazuli... she just didn't see any diamonds. It made her think of her grandma’s jewelry box, the one she found in the room where grandmother lived. It was one of those boxes that, when you lifted the lid, a ballerina appeared twirling at the sound of a funny song.” After following a rainbow through the door, Giovanna found herself in a completely different place and having the adventure of a lifetime, the biggest a 10 years old could ever dream of. What she’s going to experience does not happen everyday and is not for the faint of heart. This book will take you on a delightful adventure, the kind of adventure that can only happen when you are 10 years old. By following the Call of Laniwai, Giovanna will leave sadness, boredom and loneliness behind. Life is supposed to be light and FUN!

    In its first appearance in 1892, Israel Zangwill's Children of the Ghetto created a sensation in both England and America, becoming the first Anglo-Jewish bestseller and establishing Zangwill as the literary voice of Anglo-Jewry. A novel set in late nineteenth-century London, Children of the Ghetto gave an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population, providing a compelling analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life.
