Anna Bartlett Warner (1827-1915) was an American writer and author of several hymns and religious songs for children. The best known of her songs is almost certainly Jesus Loves Me, This I Know; however some stanzas of this were written by David Rutherford McGuire. She wrote some books jointly with her sister Susan Warner (Elizabeth Wetherell) and also wrote under the pseudonym Amy Lothrop. Amongst her other works are Ellen Montgomery's Bookshelf (1856), Casper (1856), Pond Lily Stories (1857), Hard Maple (1859), The Golden Ladder (1863), The Carpenter's Daughter (1864), Little Jack's Four Lessons (1869), Wych Hazel (1876), Tired Church Members (1881) and Daisy (1885). Susan Bogert Warner (1819-1885), was an American evangelical writer of religious fiction, children's fiction, and theological works. She wrote, under the name of Elizabeth Wetherell thirty novels, many of which went into multiple editions. However, her first novel, The Wide, Wide World (1850), was the most popular. Other works include: Queechy (1852), The Law and the Testimony (1853), The Hills of the Shatemuc (1856), The Old Helmet (1863), and Melbourne House (1864).
The Baron Trump Collection: Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger, Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey
This collection unites Ingersoll Lockwood's classic Baron Trump adventure stories in one volume. Filled with exotic flights of fancy, the Baron Trump tales feature the titular character - a wealthy boy who lives in Trump Castle. His actual name is Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, but for the sake of simplicity he goes by his title of Baron Trump. The young fellow embarks on time travelling adventures through human history. Through his travels, he meets societies of people and tribes from long ago, picking up their language and social customs. Accompanied by his faithful and protective companion hound Bulger, the young Baron navigates a variety of adventures and surmounts many obstacles. The final book discusses the rise of a US President and has been variously described as coincidental or prescient of the 21st century political climate. Set in an America torn by division, there are references to a hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York, and an election of an outsider candidate ensuing amid chaos.
The Brown Owl – a Fairy Story
This early work by Ford Madox Ford was originally published in 1892 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Madox Hueffer in Merton, Surrey, England on 17th December 1873. The creative arts ran in his family - Hueffer's grandfather, Ford Madox Brown, was a well-known painter, and his German emigre father was music critic of The Times - and after a brief dalliance with music composition, the young Hueffer began to write. Although Hueffer never attended university, during his early twenties he moved through many intellectual circles, and would later talk of the influence that the "Middle Victorian, tumultuously bearded Great" - men such as John Ruskin and Thomas Carlyle - exerted on him. In 1908, Hueffer founded the English Review, and over the next 15 months published Thomas Hardy, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, John Galsworthy and W. B. Yeats, and gave debuts to many authors, including D. H. Lawrence and Norman Douglas. Hueffer's editorship consolidated the classic canon of early modernist literature, and saw him earn a reputation as of one of the century's greatest literary editors. Ford's most famous work was his Parade's End tetralogy, which he completed in the 1920's and have now been adapted into a BBC television drama. Ford continued to write through the thirties, producing fiction, non-fiction, and two volumes of autobiography: Return to Yesterday (1931) and It was the Nightingale (1933). In his last years, he taught literature at the Olivet College in Michigan. Ford died on 26th June 1939 in Deauville, France, at the age of 65."
The Lily and the Cross (Dodo Press)
James De Mille (1833-1880) was a professor at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, and an early Canadian writer who published numerous works of popular fiction from the late 1860s through the 1870s. He attended Horton Academy in Wolfville and spent one year at Acadia University. He then travelled with his brother to Europe, spending half a year in England, France and Italy. On his return to North America, he attended Brown University, from which he obtained a Master of Arts degree in 1854. He married Anne Pryor, daughter of the president of Acadia University, John Pryor, and was there appointed professor of classics. He served there until 1865 when he accepted a new appointment at Dalhousie as professor of English and rhetoric. His most popular work with contemporaries, and the work for which he is known today, is A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder, which was serialized posthumously in Harper's Weekly in 1888. Other works included: Helena's Household (1867), Cord and Creese (1869), The Lady of the Ice (1870) and The American Baron (1872).
