"While its existence has largely been overlooked, a quite comprehensive civic design proposal for the provincial town of New Plymouth, which includes a very large coloured plan and a detailed report, was commissioned and completed between 1914 and 1916. Prepared by W.R. [William Robert] Davidge, the plan and proposal are largely unknown because the design was never put into place and the material remained buried with the archives of the now New Plymouth District council. The plan, in fact, has become disconnected from the Report and is housed in the Taranaki Museum. The importance of this civic design proposal cannot be underestimated. It represent the earliest application of the recently developed concepts of civic design and town planning that were being pioneered in Britain." -- Introduction.

This 1934 Pulitzer Prize winner tells the story of a pair of young newlyweds in antebellum rural Georgia. In 1934, Caroline Miller''s novel Lamb in His Bosom won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell''s Gone With the Wind in 1937. In fact, Lamb was largely responsible for the discovery of Gone With the Wind; after reading Miller''s novel, Macmillan editor Harold S. Latham sought other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell. Caroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South-not the romantic inhabitants of Gone With the Wind, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war. The story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War, Lamb in His Bosom is a fascinating account of social customs and material realities among settlers of the Georgia frontier. At the same time, Lamb in His Bosom transcends regional history as Miller''s quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman''s life lived close to nature-the nature outside her and the nature within.
