A serious play about two women who run a school for girls.

This is a collection of stories relating to a child's everyday experiences.

Of all of Longfellow's beloved poems (and there are many) none is so personal, so sunny, or so touching as this affectionate love letter to his three daughters, "grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, and Edith with the golden hair." Longfellow's happiest hours were spent writing on a cluttered desk by the south window of his beloved Craigie House, an imposing mansion still preserved on Cambridge's famous Brattle Street. It was here that most of the action takes place (except for his literary reference, and brief excursion, to the "Mouse-Tower on the Rhine"), here that his daughters come creeping down the stairs to beard the gentle, genial poet in his lair. Lang's luminous illustrations perfectly capture the happy atmosphere of that house, the author's affections for his daughters, and the painterly quality of his verse. This book for young readers presents one of the sweetest poems in the English language, her newly illustrated, beautifully presented, and now available to a new generation of readers.

Willett fans will cherish this redemptive story set in seaside Devon, England, of two elderly sisters who remember their own private loves and secret losses as they attempt to comfort a young woman who has also been shockingly betrayed. Martins Press.

Wholesome, truthful, uplifting, inspiring stories for boys and girls.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR is a "must read" according to Dr. Robson's colleagues in the field of child psychiatry. They are delighted by the book's combination of compassion, insight, poetry, and candor. They find its emphasis on non-chemical therapy to be a necessary antidote to the more mechanistic, biological approaches currently in vogue. And they note that the book is equally important to professionals and the general public. No one can read this engaging, witty, devastatingly honest, and wonderfully wise memoir without feeling its direct relevance to the sorrows, dangers, and triumphs we have all experienced as children and continue to experience in the lives of the young in our immediate and extended families. Whoever we are, wherever we have been, this book cuts deeply into our common humanity.

Brief anecdotes discuss questions relating to God and the Bible. A prayer, a hymn, and suggested readings from the Bible follow each chapter.
