Songs and Stories

This is a lot of four antique volumes from the series The Works Of William Makepeace Thackeray: Volumes Two, Five, Seven, and Eight. They were published by P. F. Collier, but I could not find any date of publication. Based upon my prior experience, I would estimate these books to be at least 100 years old, likely printed in the late 19th or early 20th-century.

Volumes 2, 5, and 7 are in very good antique condition, and the binding is intact for all three. There is some fading of the covers due to age and some light shelf-wear damage at the tops and bottoms of the spines. Volume 8, however, is in acceptable condition due to some unfortunate severe damage to the cover, and is in need of restoration. The leather cover design was essentially ripped off, leaving a board cover with damage on the corners - although the binding is interestingly still intact. The pages of all four volumes are clean, and there is no writing inside the text or margins. There are a couple stamps and a small amount of writing inside the covers of most or all of the volumes included.

Pollyanna

Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee that is considered a bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story, and a Southern Gothic. The story is set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression and is narrated by Scout Finch, a six-year-old tomboy. The novel follows Scout and her older brother Jem as their father, Atticus, defends a Black man who has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman. The story explores themes of racial prejudice, societal injustices, and moral conflicts, and how good and evil can coexist within a community

Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South -- and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis of an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father -- a crusading local lawyer -- risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

Stewart Spencer

There had long been a need for a modern English translation of Wagner’s Ring―a version that would be reliable and readable yet at the same time be a true reflection of the literary quality of the German libretto. First published in 1993, this acclaimed translation, which follows the verse form of the original exactly, filled that niche. It reads smoothly and idiomatically, yet is the result of prolonged thought and deep back- ground knowledge.

The translation is accompanied by Stewart Spencer’s introductory essay on the libretto and a series of specially commissioned texts by Barry Millington, Roger Hollinrake, Elizabeth Magee, and Warren Darcy that discuss the cycle’s musical structure, philosophical implications, medieval sources, and Wagner’s own changing attitude to its meaning. With a glossary of names, a review of audio and video recordings, and a select bibliography, this book is an essential complement to Wagner’s great epic. 16 black-and-white illustrations

Golding’s iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age. This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler. At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

Selected Memories of an Indian Childhood

First Darling of the Morning is the powerful and poignant memoir of bestselling author Thrity Umrigar, tracing the arc of her Bombay childhood and adolescence from her earliest memories to her eventual departure for the United States at age twenty-one. It is an evocative, emotionally charged story of a young life steeped in paradox; of a middle-class Parsi girl attending Catholic school in a predominantly Hindu city; of a guilt-ridden stranger in her own land, an affluent child in a country mired in abysmal poverty. She reveals intimate secrets and offers an unflinching look at family issues once considered unspeakable as she interweaves two fascinating coming-of-age stories—one of a small child, and one of a nation.
