Summary

Wise people in their classics have written times and again that in life often it is the tiniest things that bring the greatest joy, even though at that time, we have no idea that what we are witnessing may be magical.  Now what do you do with such moments in life? 
Some laugh with their families and friends sharing their joys and some others cry and smile alone inside their lonely rooms, keeping such memories all unto themselves. Sukanya, the author, however believes in sharing such moments with her readers whom she dearly loves. 
 Packed with the young author’s honest narratives, observations and a writing style easily understood, this book is certain to strike a chord with anybody who is a teenager, a parent to one, or lives in a small town. For those who have read the author’s posts on her blog/ medium/ social media or her previous eBook ‘yes I’m 20’, this is an enlarged version with similar context but newer and more recent essays. For others, it is a heart-warming and inspiring collection of true anecdotes from the author’s life, telling us to remain positive and stand strong against all odds, no matter what happens.

    Eugene O'Neill's drama Anna Christie was first produced on Broadway in 1921 and received the Pulitzer Prize in 1922.  It focuses on three main characters: Chris Christopherson, a Swedish captain of a coal barge and longtime seaman, his daughter Anna, who has grown up separated from her father on a Minnesota farm, and Mat Burke, an Irish stoker who works on steamships.  At the beginning of the play Chris and Anna are reunited after fifteen years apart.  Anna comes to live on her father's coal barge, but hides the secret of her past from him.  When she meets Mat after an accident in the fog, they almost immediately fall in love - but Anna finds that forging a new future will not be easy.

    "William Tallon was a creature of extremes: though intensely loyal, he was also a dangerous risk-taker; though charming, he could also be vicious; though considerate and amusing, he could be ruthless and predatory. For much of his life he was driven by two demons: a powerful sex drive and an intense, almost pathological love for the Queen Mother…"


From humble beginnings as a shopkeeper's son in Coventry to 'Page of the Backstairs' at Clarence House, William Tallon, or 'Backstairs Billy' as he came to be known, entered royal service at the age of fifteen. Over the next fifty years, he became one of the most notorious and flamboyant characters ever to have graced the royal household - the one servant the Queen Mother just could not do without. While others came and went, he remained by her side, becoming one of her most trusted friends and confidants.


The fascinating life story of the man who spent more than half a century working for one of the world's most elusive institutions, Backstairs Billy provides a rare glimpse of what the royals really get up to behind closed doors…
