Book Description
I knew Miss Meads filled her stories with half-truths twisted to entice the listener. But another part of me wanted to believe the stories because that would mean there was some other person out there who was a bigger misfit than I was. I needed Karen Anderson to be horrible. It is 1974 in Tiny Town, Kansas, and twelve-year-old Katie is fed up with being an outcast. Overweight and unattractive, she has been nicknamed Queen Kong by her classmates. As summer begins, Katie starts a journey of self-discovery and befriends the town hermit, Karen Anderson. Through her father's ministry and her mother's wisdom, Katie comes to respect the individuality of others and herself. But Katie soon finds herself involved in events surrounding the mysterious death of the town's pretty boy, Pebble Hudson. Pebble's burial splits Tiny Town and leads to an epic event that will change the town-and Katie-forever. Filled with colorful characters and the heartwarming details of everyday life, Tiny Town: Summer's Song takes you back to a simpler time and shares the coming-of-age story of one courageous little girl.

Book Description
A captivating study of the plays, literature and writings about private and public theatrical spectacle during the Victorian Age By the 1890s the British theatre had transformed itself into a world where spectacles and public shows were aimed at the widest audience possible. The theatre had become big business. This anthology brings together a variety of plays and prose which sets this phenomenon in perspective and traces the development of Victorian theatricals from private home events in the late-Georgian period to full-scale Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in the 1890s. The section 'Theatrical Behaviour' looks at the world of the audience and includes extracts from Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park; Thackeray's Vanity Fair; an anonymous playlet called Acting Proverbs; and an extract from Marie Corelli's novel Sorrows of Satan. In 'Fun and Freaks' we explore the world of popular, sensationalist entertainment through the eyes of Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Dion Boucicault and others. In the final section, 'Society', we have the scripts for four principal melodramas and serious plays of the age: The Factory Lad by John Walker; Society by T.W. Robertson; The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and The Second Mrs Tanqueray by Arthur Wing Pinero.
