The story revolves around Jimmy not being sure whether or not he shot and killed a Northwest Mounted while he and some friends were out hunting one day. Not exactly a bushman, he needs to head northwest to avoid capture by the officials who are out to find him and bring him to trial. At least that's what he suspects. Survival in the wilderness for one who was raised in British class proves to be a daunting experience, and we learn of the trials he is to be put through while he is on the lam.

She initiated a revival of the English sonnet, helped establish the conventions of Gothic fiction, and wrote political novels of sensibility.It was in 1784, in debtor's prison with her husband Benjamin, that she wrote and published her first work, Elegiac Sonnets. The work achieved instant success, allowing Charlotte to pay for their release from prison. Smith's sonnets helped initiate a revival of the form and granted an aura of respectability to her later novels.Stuart Curran, the editor of Smith's poems, has written that Smith is 'the first poet in England whom in retrospect we would call Romantic'. She helped shape the 'patterns of thought and conventions of style' for the period. Romantic poet William Wordsworth was the most affected by her works. He said of Smith in the 1830s that she was 'a lady to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered'. By the second half of the nineteenth century, however, Smith was largely forgotten. More information: http://librivox.org/elegiac-sonnets-and-other-poems-by-charlotte-turner-smith/

Sholem Rabinovich (1859-1916) was born in Pereiaslav, Ukraine and later immigrated to New York. His short stories about Tevye and his daughters were freely adapted into the musical FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Rabinovich's will contained the following injunction: 'Let my name be recalled with laughter or not at all.' His translator, Hannah Berman, was Irish of Lithuanian descent.Some of these stories may be too intense for younger children.
