This book was recommended by an avid reader who knows well my fussy tastes. I couldn't put down and read straight through. Beautifully written, and being a translation from French I was sceptical. It was a compelling read from start to finish. I purchased a second copy for my mother as there were no copies available at her local library.
Brilliantly evocative of both characters and cultural attitudes of the time.
An emotional and heartbreaking story based on the lives of the Grimke sisters. Beautifully written, a combination of goodness and evil, tenderness and cruelty, devotion and hypocrisy. I find it amazing that it is women in history who stand up to men and their foibles, who are the fighters and agitators who have made a mark in history. I still cannot fathom how people used to think that slavery was acceptable and that it was okay to treat others with so much cruelty. This is a must read, and everyone should be reminded of the evil things that happened.
Thank you, the book was well-packaged and protected, and arrived quickly and in excellent condition as described. A very positive experience overall!
I bought this second hand and it was in perfect condition
Very much enjoyed this book. An interesting read and well written. Opened my eyes in many ways
This is such an interesting book! I couldn't put it down
Enjoyed reading this book on McCubbin. Quality of the images are great and the writing and research is concise.
My Australian Grand-daughter just loves Enid Blyton's school stories. These are her latest treasured books. Thank you for stocking them.
This book has been loved by my seven year-old grandson because it was about Medusa etc. And because it was like a chapter book
For children interested in myths this is a great starting point stories are wonderful and the illustrations assist to help a child imagination soar
This was a very difficult book to find and I am very pleased that you had it available at a reasonable price. Delivery was efficient.
Delivery was amazing - books in excellent condition - no complaints at all
I ordered the birthday box for myself the day after my actual birthday. I have only opened the one for July so far. I am really happy with what I have gotten so far. I live in Canada and love the fact that I will probably get books that I might not come across otherwise.
Fantastic, interesting, well researched book. Very practical suggestions about how to easily, gradually change your handwriting and how this supports you in changing your life in meaningful and positive ways.
