Adela Cathcart (The Cullen Collection #4)
by George MacDonaldFairy tales told around the fire on Christmas Eve—including &“The Light Princess,&” &“The Shadows,&” &“The Golden Key,&” and &“The Giant&’s Heart.&” Reminiscent of Chaucer&’s Canterbury Tales, MacDonald&’s attempt to package a collection of short stories in the guise of a novel is built around a group of snowbound travelers attempting to pass the time in a country house by sharing stories in hopes of distracting young Adela Cathcart from her illness. Early in his career, MacDonald was trying different genres and storytelling methods, and this is a prime example of his creative experimentation. First published in 1865, the included stories changed with a new edition in 1882. Some of MacDonald&’s well-known short stories made their first appearance in one of the two editions. This new publication from Michael Phillips includes the best from both original editions.
Adela Pankhurst: The Wayward Suffragette 1885—1961
by Verna ColemanAs the youngest daughter of the famous British suffragette family, Adela Pankhurst's life began as it would continue: among thinkers and activists. She was arrested for her part in the fight for female suffrage in the United Kingdom but, after differences with her mother she was sent to Australia. Arriving in Melbourne in 1914, Adela quickly became involved with the women's movement and the anti-war and anti-conscription movements. Wayward and passionate, she zigzagged from cause to cause. Adela was a founding member of the Communist Party of Australia, but later became involved with the extreme right-wing Australia First movement. During her fast-paced life she managed to offend socialists, communists, trade unionists, patriots, pacifists, feminists, nationalists, imperialists and conservatives. Verna Coleman vividly brings this extraordinary woman to life. Feisty and inspirational, Adela Pankhurst brought a whole-hearted commitment to her various campaigns, and to read her biography is to be caught up in the heady excitement of some of the most significant political causes of the twentieth century.
