  No More Parades

  Ford Madox

  There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them. — W. H. Auden  
  No More Parades is the second of four in Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End tetralogy, a work that Ford hoped would contribute to the obviating of all future wars. The novel follows Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy British landowner and the last British Tory; his unfaithful wife, Sylvia; and his mistress, Valentine Wannop. Highlighting the tension between traditional values and the new reality of a world marred by war, the novel details Tietjens' turmoils in both his personal life and on the warfront—and what follows when those struggles become one and the same.  
  The Parade's End tetralogy privileges not the conflict of World War I itself, but the impact the war had on its participants and upon society writ large. It is often referred to as one of the greatest 20th century novels, and one of the best depictions of war in literature. The 2012 television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and seven BAFTA Television Awards.

  Summer has arrived, and for the Bobbsey family, that means a grand excursion to the country! In The Bobbsey Twins in the Country, Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie visit their Aunt Sarah and Uncle Daniel on their enormous farm. For children raised in the town of Lakeport, the country is a world of endless wonders. From the excitement of the first train ride to the thrill of picking wild berries, fishing in the brook, and meeting farm animals for the first time, every day brings a new lesson in nature. But even in the quiet countryside, mysteries abound, and the twins soon find themselves investigating strange happenings in the old barn and the deep woods.
  
  A Classic Pastoral Adventure: This volume captures the essence of turn-of-the-century American farm life. It emphasizes the values of hard work, curiosity, and the simple pleasures of the outdoors. Readers are treated to a nostalgic look at a time when "adventure" meant exploring a clover field or helping with the summer harvest.
  
  Sibling Bonds in the Great Outdoors: The dynamic between the older twins (Nan and Bert) and the "little" twins (Flossie and Freddie) shines in this setting. Whether they are protecting each other from a stray bull or working together to find a lost kitten, their teamwork remains the heart of the story.

  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.
  The Growing Up of Cornelia: Aunt Jemima gave me this diary for a Christmas present. It's just the sort of gift a person named Jemima would be likely to make. I can't imagine why Aunt Jemima thought I should like a diary. Probably she didn't think about it at all. I suppose it happened to be the first thing she saw when she started out to do her Christmas duty by me, and so she bought it. I'm sure I'm the last girl in the world to keep a diary.
