London: Book Club Associates, 1982. "The British stately home is a magnet that attracts hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and from all over the world. The immense appeal of such houses is not simply their architectural splendor or magnificent art treasures. They also fulfill a need in people to recapture something of the past, affording as they do tangible glimpses of a way of life that has vanished. Who built these great houses? What kinds of people lived in them? How did they acquire their vast fortunes, amass their fabulous art collections? Who landscaped their gardens? What became of their descendants? With a creative and imaginative approach Sibylla Jane Flower answers these questions from a new point of view. In this magnificent volume, twenty of Great Britain's most beautiful homes are depicted, chosen as particularly fine examples of their style and period, each one introduced by personal conversation with the present-day owners. The entire domestic fabric of the great houses is examined, revealing what life was like for the inhabitants above and below stairs, in their setting of grandeur and luxury. Yet in their pursuit of that luxury the rich men of fashion and powerful artistocrats who lorded it over their households were often inspired by profound knowledge and consummate taste. They were patrons of the arts on a grand scale, and what they bequeathed to their own families have over the centuries become part of England's heritage. The Debrett name, which has been a household word in Britain for over two hundred years and is synonymous wit the British aristocracy, lends further authority to this volume. Derry Moore's ability to capture the flavor of the great houses in spectacular original photography specially commissioned for the book is supplemented by paintings and photographs of some of the residents, past and present. A comprehensive appendix gives details of over 150 houses in Great Britain that are open to the public." NO EXTRA POSTAGE ABOVE OUR STANDARD RATES!. Please email for further details.

O. Henry had this feeling of worriment when Jefferson Pickens also known as Parleyvoo was seen only after his publication, that he should have been the Gentle Grifter and not the Gentle Grafter, the description O. Henry tagged for him. His job as a moral graft artisan provides Parleyvoo an additional drawback in following his artistry, though he always chose to do more complex crafts. The outcome of 14 beautiful stories for everyone and countless new acquaintances for him. With those acquaintances, he crosses the line by having more conviction in running through those hurtles. There are times they triumph and other times they fail at some point. They are much likely to endure the lane they would rather accomplish. Still, he struggles with expressing himself in the English language. The Gentle Grafter includes: The Octopus Marooned; Jeff Peters as a Personal Magnet; Modern Rural Sports; The Chair of Philanthromathematics; The Hand That Riles the World; The Exact Science of Matrimony; A Midsummer Masquerade; Shearing the Wolf; Innocents of Broadway; Conscience in Art; The Man Higher Up; A Tempered Wind; Hostages to Momus; and The Ethics of Pig. William Sydney Porter popular by his pseudonym O. Henry, was a United States author primarily of children?s stories. His tales are well known for their bittersweet finales. O. Henry's pieces is all-inclusive, and his rolls can be seen meandering around the farmlands of Texas, discovering the craft of the flimflammer, or fact-finding the strains of society and prestige in sophisticated New York. O. Henry had an artsy style for setting apart nitty-gritties of social class and depicting it with an farfetched parcity and subtlety of etymology. Many of his major and minor crafts is contained in Cabbages and Kings, several narratives which uncovers a bit of discrete feature of life in a pallidly sluggish Central America and giving more details of a more interesting storyline., 0, MP3 Audio CD.

The house of Anne Lynch Botta (1815 ? 1891) was a central meeting place for all the most famous and accomplished personalities in the worlds of literature, art and acting. Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott, Grace Greenwood, Fanny Kemble and Daniel Webster are just a few of the names you?d likely to have encountered on a Saturday night gathering at Mrs. Botta?s home for an evening filled with passionate and insightful conversation.Botta herself was also a skilled writer and poet, as well as a passionate teacher who had a long and successful career. Aside from her poetry, which received outstanding praise for its spiritual value and natural, artistic approach, she also published the Handbook of Universal Literature ? a book containing unique references and accounts of the many authors that Botta had come in contact with, as well as their work.An Apology for Sadness is considered one of Anne Lynch Botta?s true poetic masterpieces. Although short, the poem features deep spiritual and emotional connotations that very few poets of her time could deliver with the clarity and empathy that Botta was capable of.Botta?s poem portrays the shadowy side of love and desire, placing them in antithesis with spiritual peace and the balance of the speaker?s soul. In the poet?s view, love is alike a powerful disruptive force that is both divinely beautiful and deeply bitter, fraught with a magnetic drive toward possession and a strong feeling of need. This marvelous little poem will bring to life emotions that run deep in the soul of anyone who has felt the touch of love and loss in their life.The poem was published in 1848 in Anne Lynch Botta?s poetry collection simply entitled Poems. As in the case of most of Botta?s poetry, its insightful expression, beauty and value continue to be valued by critics even to this day., 0, MP3 Audio CD.
