Published by Grosset & Dunlap publishers in New York. The copyright is held by Small, Maynard & Company, in 1919. Believed to be a reprint of the first edition, making this a second edition. Hard cover with original hard to find dust jacket, only copy on the market in this edition to have one. Written by the American Science Fiction writer George Allan England, this novel follows a ship captain who is cursed by an "old Malay witch-woman" while sailing along the coast of Malaysia and Indonesia (referred to in the novel as Malay which is the peoples who inhabit these lands). This historical fictional novel follows his curse being passed down to his grandson, and only a good woman can break the curse. While I'm not sure what that means, you can find out! The binding is tight, the pages are clean but darkened with age. The original dust jacket is missing pieces of it, most notably on the spine where at the highest point of 2.25 inches a chunk of the paper is missing. The previous owner who wished to preserve the dust jacket has placed a clear plastic liner over the dust jacket with a white wax backing to protect the book and jacket. These are shown in the images. There does not appear to be any tears or stains inside the book in the pages. On the inside flap on the front and back of the book there is a darkening stain from the area the dust jacket does not reach from the book's storage, which is also shown. --------------------------------------------------- We use recycled packaging wherever possible.

Illustration of Yankton Dakota writer, musician, educator, and political activist, Zitkála-Šá, Lakhotan for Red Bird (1876-1938.) Born in South Dakota to a Yankton Sioux mother and a delinquent French father, she was recruited (among other native children) by Quaker missionaries to to be educated at a boarding school for the poor in Indiana. While she enjoyed learning to read, write, and play the violin, she felt miserable in being forced to conform to the Quaker culture. Upon her graduation, she gave a commencement speech on inequality and women's rights which earned her praise in the local press. She would go on to have a distinguished career as an advocate for the preservation of Native cultures, which she contributed to by popularizing their tales and stories for a worldwide audience. Zitkala-Sa also founded the National Council of American Indians with her husband to advocate for the full citizenship and enfranchisement of American natives. She is also notable for having been the librettist and a songwriter of the 'The Sun Dance Opera,' having attained her degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston as an accomplished violinist.

Lee Baldwin moves to Maine to revel in a tide of solitude and brood about her missing husband. Instead she's pulled into the daily dramas of Dolly, her flighty landlady; Maxine, the small town's store proprietor; a welder at Bath Iron works; a trio of boys running wild; and their mother, who may or may not have heard a saint speak. Lee feels especially the fierce grace of Hazel, an elderly woman whose grip on life breathes energy into her own. Evoking the lives of northern New Englanders who struggle in the shadow side of prosperity, Preservation explores the isolation--and possibilities--of a time before electronics linked us nonstop through the cloud.

About Sarah Carlisle's River and Other Stories "With rare perspicacity, Cynthia Lang explores the reality of human relationships and the complexity of circumstance." --Rufus Collinson, Poet Laureate, Gloucester, Massachusetts. "It's the vocal textures: nimble sentences, sometimes buoyant, sometimes poignant, always with the sense that the momentum is the story. Lang writes of aspiration, chagrin, fleeting contentment. These stories open themselves across 200 years, two continents and the Caribbean."--Virginia Euwer Wolff, winner of the 2001 National Book Award, Young People's Literature for True Believer (Simon & Schuster/Atheneum) | Author: Cynthia Lang | Publisher: Mill City Press, Inc. | Publication Date: Jan 30, 2019 | Number of Pages: 404 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1545656940 | ISBN-13: 9781545656945

ABOUT DIANA THORNE Diana Thorne, born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, left for Germany in 1912 to attend art studies in Munich and Berlin. Unfortunately, the First World War began two years later and Thorne, a Canadian citizen, was detained by the German government as a hostile alien. Diana, however, managed to escape to England where she supported herself for several years as a reporter, librarian and writer. It was during this period that she began illustrating and etching. Diana Thorne moved to the United States in 1917, where she became one of America's most recognized canine artists. Some of her most famous illustrated books include Puppy Stories, Chips, Cocker Spaniel, Major and the Kitten, Baby Animals, The Dog Book (1932), Dog-Basket (1930), and Your Dogs and Mine (1935). ABOUT THE MATS All of our prints are professionally matted in a very high quality, and simple off-white/ivory matting. The backing, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, but which should be kept with the print when framed, also meets the same high quality standard. We take pride in what we sell—look at our feedback.
