Following Anne of Green Gables (1908), the book covers the second chapter in the life of Anne Shirley. This book follows Anne from the age of 16 to 18, during the two years that she teaches at Avonlea school. It includes many of the characters from Anne of Green Gables, as well as new ones like Mr. Harrison, Miss Lavendar Lewis, Paul Irving, and the twins Dora and Davy.

Mr. Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) was an accomplished social, political and literary commentator and essayist known for his non-fiction works The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. His most famous novels, Animal Farm and 1984 have influenced a generation of twentieth century political satirists and dystopian novelists.

Fanny Price is a young girl from a large and relatively poor family, who is taken from them at age 10 to be raised by her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas, a baronet, and Lady Bertram, of Mansfield Park. She had previously lived with her own parents, Lieut. Price and his wife, Frances (Fanny), Lady Bertram's sister. She is the second child and eldest daughter, with seven siblings born after her. She has a firm attachment to her older brother, William, who at the age of 12 has followed his father into the navy. With so many mouths to feed on a limited income, Fanny's mother is grateful for the opportunity to send Fanny away to live with her fine relatives.

Anne of Green Gables recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, a young orphan girl mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who have a farm on Prince Edward Island and who had intended to adopt a boy to help them.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.

A campy Beauty and the Beast! Julia Swift is terribly sexy. Unfortunately there's nothing she can do about it. While attempting to hide in plain sight from a world she fears only wants to use her, she is claimed as a personal stylist by vivacious socialite, Vérité Claire, a glamorous eccentric with a penchant for guiding talented oddballs to meet their potential. Her curious crew includes sassy housekeeper, Lotte, insanely territorial biographer, Bernard, and eventually Orson Vaughn, a hulking outcast living in self-imposed exile since being betrayed in his shameful past. In spite of Julia's trust issues and Orson's tendency towards self-sabotage, they grow closer through a series of exchanged favours until two people who are trying very hard to be invisible are seeing an awful lot of each other. Will a final favour which sees Julia helping Orson in a revenge plot against former adversaries put too great a strain on their unlikely relationship and prevent it from blossoming into something more? If Vérité Claire has anything to say about it then the answer is, "Not a chance, darlings!" So powder your noses because The Favoured, The Fair and Ms. Vérité Claire is a light-hearted Beauty and Beast-like romantic farce with a pie-throwing, rodeo-riding, chocolate covered, diamond studded French-tipped twist! Swoon responsibly. *No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any manner without the express written permission of the author.
