G. K Chesterton

Lewis-Graham Press, 1987

From the Publisher
George Bernard Shaw, one of the greatest playwrights of the twentieth century, saw in G. K. Chesterton some of his own genius for drama. For years he pushed and prodded his friend to write a play, even suggesting to Chesterton's wife that she threaten to leave him if he didn't. But Chesterton was having too much fun as one of England's premier journalists to heed that friendly advice. After his ...

John Traino, writer
I am usually not a big fan of memoirs, preferring biographies instead, but a friend's suggestion led me to "Bloodsisters" and I'm the richer for it. It is the story of a young girl snatched from the loving care of a foster mother by a clueless family court judge and returned to her biological family-and her abusive father. At the heart of the story is the deep bond that develops between Annie ...

Eben Holden; A Tale Of The North Country

Irving Bacheller

Irving Lewis Press, 2008

A little lost gem of a book
Although Eben Holden is the title of the book, it's really about the life story of the narrator, Willie Brower. Willie is orphaned at a young age. Old Eben carries the child away, literally, into a new life in what I take to be New York. Willie records the travels through the wilderness, their adoption into a new home, and the homespun yarns of Eben and others. As he grows up, Willie becomes ...
