the Bookseller M569:
Mouse named Lady Greensleeves who solved mysteriesThe story involved a little mouse named Lady Greensleeves who, with her maid, solved problems or mysteries. My friend checked the book out of a library sometime around 1968-1970, and it was an older book back then. She doesn't remember the title or the author.

Jane Austen now, after delving into
sequels, inspirations and biographies. I believe the first
up is
the biggie and most famous of them all: Pride and Prejudice.

ClubElizabeth Boyd: The Famished Land Thursday, July 23, 7pm ~ fourth Thursdays ~ Have you ever heard about the Irish potato famine of the mid-nineteenth century? It's a stunning true story of great poverty, hunger, and the struggle to survive. Many didn't. In Elizabeth Byrd's novel, The Famished Land, we follow the lives of people who live in a small town in Ireland, who must learn to live on the bare bones of the earth, or find a way to set sail for distant lands. Moira McFlaherty is our young narrator, ready to fall in love and get married, when suddenly, the green sprouts of potatoes turn brown and the potatoes rot in the ground, turning poisonous. Moira is a tough girl, and fights for her life and the lives of those she loves. The Famished Land does what historical fiction should do: puts us into a time and place of interest, and into the shoes of characters who will live, and die, in a time long past. But in this time and place, they didn't even have shoes. It's well worth reading. |
