Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Stories From Our Village When the first series of the tales and sketches was collected and published in volume form (in 1824) under the name of Our Village they were received with so much favour that Miss Mitford's title to fame was at once recognised. The remaining volumes, to the number of five, appeared at intervals between then and 1882, at which time her reputation was so high that her little cottage in Berkshire had became a place of pilgrimage, not only to her own countrymen and countrywomen, but to Americans and all true lovers of literature. Although, when her name became known, she got good prices for her work, Dr. Mitford's extravagances kept the family poor.

Book excerpt: This classic is an original work of literature by one of America's foremost conservationists and is an account of the people of the north, both Native and white, who give Alaska its special human flavor. First published over fifty years ago, the book is still a favorite among old-time Alaskans and, over the years, has prompted numerous readers to pack up and move to Alaska. The richness of statistical coverage in this book, and Marshall's careful descriptions of the characters he met, provide readers with a window to the world of 1930 and a nearly complete record of the Koyukuk civilization as he saw it. Readers learn what the people of Wiseman thought about sex, religion, politics, and the myriad of ways they found to cope with and enjoy life in a wilderness community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From the for Children If you close your eyes, perhaps you can see her in imagination, in her little red dress with a blue cape round her shoulders, going to the Village well with a brown earthen jar to draw water for her mother to use in their little home. For in those days each family did not have a well of their own, or draw their water from a faucet in the house, as we do; but they had a large public well, or fountain, where all the women went for water. Sometimes, when they were not too busy, the girls and women would stand a long time together at the well, and tell each other all the happenings of the day and the gos sip of the neighbouring Villages. They had no news papers then, and the people had to learn from one another what was going on here and there. And the little Mary used to help her mother with the spinning and the weaving, for they made all their own clothes, and usually the cloth of which the clothes were made. We may be sure, from what we learn of her in after life, that no girl in the village could weave a smoother cloth than hers, or sew a straighter seam. So she lived, quietly and happily like any other girl, until she had grown to be as tall as her mother, and was a young woman and no longer a little girl.

A Library Reads Pick! The Blair Witch Project meets Midsommar in this brilliantly disturbing thriller from Camilla Sten, an electrifying new voice in suspense. Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, dubbed “The Lost Village,” since she was a little girl. In 1959, her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterious tragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left—a woman stoned to death in the town center and an abandoned newborn—have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew of friends in the remote village to make a film about what really happened. But there will be no turning back. Not long after they’ve set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing. As doubt breeds fear and their very minds begin to crack, one thing becomes startlingly clear to Alice: They are not alone. They’re looking for the truth... But what if it finds them first? Come find out. "RELENTLESSLY CREEPY." —Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger (An NPR Best Horror Novel) "IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP READING." —Ragnar Jonasson, author of The Island "Readers will revel in the chills." - Booklist

Human nature is the same all over the world - I am inwardly convinced that this urchin is topless. The children are no longer in sight, but I can hear them still, the boys shouting and cracking their whips, the girls playing in the road outside the school-house, for the bell has not yet stopped, and the last precious moments of liberty must be made the most of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Sketches Some years since circumstances caused me to spend the summer months in a farming district, a few miles from the village of E., and it was there I met with Terry Dolan. He had a short time previous come over from Ireland, and was engaged as a sort of chore boy by Mr. L., in whose family I resided during my stay in the neighborhood. This Terry was the oddest being with whom I ever chanced to meet. Would that I could describe him! - but most of us, I believe, occasionally meet with people, whom we find to be indescribable, and Terry was one of those. He called himself sixteen years of age; but, excepting that he was low of stature, you would about as soon have taken him for sixty as sixteen. His countenance looked anything but youthful, and there was altogether a sort of queer, ancient look about him which caused him to appear very remarkable.
