Book Description
Christine stood watching her father take his third curtain call to the thunderous cheering of the theater audience. Her father had just become the idol of the London stage. The adulation, however, did not stop him from forsaking the stage and his family when a tragic accident happened on his stage a short time later. Twelve years have passed without a word from her father, and the First World War has begun and is dangerously near. Christine is sent to America to her father. She does not look forward to their reunion. She is abandoned again when she arrives in New York and is denied entry. She finds that he is in Seattle. Fearing being sent back to England, she slips onto a Canadian boat docked at the pier. Christine finally reaches her father, joins the Womens Army Signal Corps, and goes to Europe with the army. At the end of the war, she returns to Atlanta, her husbands home. This is just the beginning of her adventurous life full of romance, mystery, and events that will change her world.

Children’s Literature and Transnational Knowledge in Modern China
Author: Shih-Wen Sue Chen
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811360839
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This book examines the development of Chinese children’s literature from the late Qing to early Republican era. It highlights the transnational flows of knowledge, texts, and cultures during a time when children’s literature in China and the West was developing rapidly. Drawing from a rich archive of periodicals, novels, tracts, primers, and textbooks, the author analyzes how Chinese children’s literature published by Protestant missionaries and Chinese educators in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries presented varying notions of childhood. In this period of dramatic transition from the dynastic Qing empire to the new Republican China, young readers were offered different models of childhood, some of which challenged dominant Confucian ideas of what it meant to be a child. This volume sheds new light on a little-explored aspect of Chinese literary history. Through its contributions to the fields of children’s literature, book history, missionary history, and translation studies, it enhances our understanding of the negotiations between Chinese and Western cultures that shaped the publication and reception of Chinese texts for children.

Book Description
Libby I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more. He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away? Killian As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles. Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse —and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name. The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.
