Mary Mapes Dodge created an instant bestseller with 'Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates.' She wanted the book to be partly a book of travels and partly a domestic story. It is a tale written for children that adults also find interesting and uplifting. Dodge writes as if she is sending a series of letters from Holland to children in America, and her you-are-there perspective is aided by a nice attention to detail and vivid imagery.The Brinkers are a poor but stoic family under a dark cloud - Raff, the man of the house, fell from the dikes while reinforcing them during a bad storm, and for ten years he has been in a vegetative state. With no steady income, the family's lot is grinding poverty. Despite their unfortunate circumstances, Hans and Gretel are cheerful children, yet always attentive to the needs of their mother and their present-but-not-really-there father. Their social standing is very low, but they both attract firm friends, even among the gentry, for their honesty, industry, and good-heartedness.Then a glorious skating race is proposed for the town of Broek, with the prize a pair of silver skates for both the winning boy and girl. In the weeks leading up to the race, we follow the adventures of five of the local boys who are showing a visiting relative from England the sights of the Netherlands. Hans improbably meets the one man who might be able to heal his father, and somehow Hans finds a way to afford some skates so that he and Gretel can enter the race.This all leads up to a dramatic, moving, and entirely satisfactory conclusion. 'Hans Brinker' hits a series of high notes and encourages children to cultivate and display their finer qualities.

'Diva', publicado em 1864, um dos três 'perfis de mulher' de José de Alencar, tem como personagem principal e narrador Augusto Amaral, que conta, através de cartas, a história de seu encontro e paixão pela jovem Emília, rica herdeira, acostumada a ter todos as suas ordens e caprichos atendidos. Publicado logo após 'Lucíola', obra de maior sucesso, 'Diva' tem em comum com aquele o pano de fundo, também a corte imperial brasileira, no Rio de Janeiro, e a crítica à sociedade frívola frequentadores dos salões. 'Diva' é conectado a 'Lucíola' também por duas referências internas à obra: por um lado, a dedicatória de 'Diva' refere a mesma senhora que teria recolhido e publicado as cartas de Paulo em 'Lucíola'; por outro, o próprio romance 'Diva' é um apanhado de cartas, desta vez endereçadas a Paulo, narrador de Lucíola, O terceiro desses romances urbanos acerca da situação da mulher foi 'Senhora', publicado mais de dez anos depois. - Summary by Leni

'If there be a haunted spot in London it must surely be a few squareyards that lie a little west of the Marble Arch, for in the long courseof some six centuries over fifty thousand felons, traitors and martyrstook there a last farewell of a world they were too bad or too good tolive in. From remote antiquity, when the seditious were taken _ad furcasTyburnam_, until that November day in 1783 when John Austin closed thelong list, the gallows were kept ever busy, and during the first half ofthe eighteenth century, with which this book deals, every Newgatesessions sent thither its thieves, highwaymen and coiners by the score.' We have a strange fascination with crime and criminals; and with their punishment... just or otherwise. Here, we have a collection of papers regarding the most infamous criminals of the early eighteenth century selected from the original and authentic memoirs originally published in 1735. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

Late nineteenth-century naturalist William J. Long invites us in to the secret worlds of the woodland animals. Containing Long's own animal observations along with stories related to him by other humans who inhabit the woods, these stories give us an insight into the behavior of wild animals as they go about their lives in their own secret places deep in the forests of eastern North America. Although Long was accused in his day of anthropomorphizing the animals he wrote about, readers who are familiar with any of the animals he writes of will have glimpses of recognition at behaviors they have seen for themselves and explore the deeper meanings these actions have in that animal's life. The stories will paint pictures in your imagination that will stay with you long after the book has ended. (Summary by Jill Engle.)

'I hope that this book, based on letters shown me many years after they were written, will give a faint idea of the life of a Chinese lady. The story is told in two series of letters conceived to be written by Kwei-li, the wife of a very high Chinese official, [the first series were written] to her husband when he accompanied his master, Prince Chung, on his trip around the world.' The second series of letters were written 25 years later to Kwei-li's mother-in-law as China faces revolution and political intrigue. 'They are, therefore, the letters of the present-day Chinese woman of the old school, a woman who had by education and environment exceptional opportunities to learn of the modern world, but who, like every Eastern woman, clings with almost desperate tenacity to the traditions and customs of her race.' (Summary by MaryAnn with material from the Preface)
