Book Description
A story that helps us see the unique goodness in each person. Every town has its secrets. When it becomes known that Mr. Nicholas, the eccentric owner of the local hardware store, is somehow involved with reindeer, toys, and children, the town becomes more and more suspicious that this man is more than just a clerk on Main Street. JB, a clever, open ten-year-old boy with Down syndrome, is able to figure out the secret from the first time Mr. Nicholas gives him a chocolate deer wrapped in gold foil. JB’s father and mother, both cynical and on the brink of divorce, follow the adventures of JB as he flies on the back of a reindeer, feeds Mister Rogers’s fish, and defines what can be forgotten by those who are too busy to remember the magic of Christmas, cuckoo-clocks, and love.

Book Description
"Mr Nicholas" is a devastating study of the domestic horrors of English suburbia, personified by the Nicholas family and its snobbish patriarch, a petty tyrant whose greatest pleasure is to sip gin while bullying and arguing with his beleaguered wife and three sons, 'intellectual, ineffectual' Peter, rebellious Owen, and young David, whose relationship with a retired Army captain threatens to bring scandal on the family. With wry humour and surgically precise prose, Thomas Hinde paints an unforgettable portrait of an everyday monster, a character who is contemptible, yet curiously sympathetic. Thomas Hinde (1926-2014) burst onto the literary scene at age 26 with his first novel, "Mr Nicholas" (1952), which was widely acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic and hailed as one of the finest English novels of its day. This new edition, the first in over 35 years, includes a new introduction by Alice Ferrebe and a reproduction of the original jacket art by Peter Curl. Hinde's classic thriller of suburban paranoia, "The Day the Call Came" (1964), is also available from Valancourt. "Savage, brilliant." - "New York Times" "An expert novel. His storytelling is done in meticulously understated style, but beneath its bland surface, Mr Nicholas is relentless in its exploration of a quiet, homey little English hell." - "Time Magazine" "A brilliant and beautifully written book, controlled, exact and illuminating ... one of the few really distinguished post-war novels." - Kenneth Allsop "A wonderful novel, full of passion but written subtly with humour, sympathy and restraint . . . Mr Nicholas himself is a brilliant portrayal of a fascinating monster." - "Financial Times"

Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The novel narrates the life and adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, a young man who must support his mother and sister after the death of his father. His uncle Ralph, who thinks that Nicolas will never come to anything, plays the role of an antagonist. The novel is, first of all, a fierce satirical attack against the Yorkshire schools of the time, where minors received brutal treatment from greedy and cruel individuals, who having demonstrated their absolute incompetence in all kinds of trades and businesses only They had as a last resort to become teachers.The contemporary reader may find the description of Mr. Squeers and his school exaggerated. However, the author assures that it is only the pale portrait of a reality softened on purpose so as not to be taken as impossible.

Chapter XXV CONCERNING A YOUNG LADY FROM LONDON, WHO JOINS THE COMPANY, AND AN ELDERLY ADMIRER WHO FOLLOWS IN HER TRAIN; WITH AN AFFECTING CEREMONY CONSEQUENT ON THEIR ARRIVAL THE newpiece being a decided hit, wasannounced for every evening of performance until further notice, and the evenings when the theatre was closed, were reduced from three in the week to two. Nor were these the only tokens of extraordinary success; for on the succeeding Saturday Nicholas received, by favour of the indefatigable Mrs. Grudden, no less a sum than thirty shillings; besides which substantial reward, he enjoyed considerable fame and honour, having a presentation copy of Mr. Curdle's pamphlet forwarded to the theatre, with that gentleman's own autograph (in itself an inestimable treasure) on the fly-leaf, accompanied with a note, containing many expressions of approval, and an unsolicited assurance that Mr. Curdle would be very happy to read Shakspeare to him for three hours every morning before breakfast during his stay in the town. "I've got another novelty, Johnson," said Mr. Crummles one morning in great glee. "What'sthat?" rejoined Nicholas. "Thepony?" "No, no, we never come to the pony till everything else has failed," said Mr. Crummles. "I don't think we shall come to the pony at all this season. No, no, not the pony." "A boy phenomenon, perhaps?" suggested Nicholas. "There is only one phenomenon, sir," replied Mr. Crummies impressively, " and that's a girl." "Very true," said Nicholas. "I beg your pardon. Then I don't know what it is, I am sure." "What should you say to a young lady from London?" inquired Mr. Crummles. "Miss Soand-so, of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane?" "I should say she would look very well in the bills," said Nicholas. "You're...
