An inspiring picture book biography of beloved author Madeleine L’Engle and the making of A Wrinkle in Time. When Madeleine L''Engle was very small, she often found herself awake at night, marveling at the stars. They guided her throughout her life, making her feel part of a big and exciting world, even when she felt alone. They made her want to ask big questions—Why are we here? What is my place in the universe?—and let her imagination take flight. Books, too, were like stars—asking questions and proposing answers. Books kept Madeleine company, and soon, she began to write and share her own. But would other people see the wonder she found in the world? Written by Madeleine''s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis and bestselling picture-book author Jennifer Adams, A Book, Too, Can Be a Star follows the life of one of the world''s greatest creators—and gives children encouragement to lead a creative, inquisitive life.

The real represents to my perception the things that we cannot possibly not know, sooner or later, in one way or another'', wrote Henry James in 1907. This description, riven with double negatives, hesitation, and uncertainty, encapsulates the epistemological difficulties of realism, for underlying its narrative and descriptive apparatus as an aesthetic mode lies a philosophical quandary. What grounds the ''real'' of the realist novel? What kind of perception is required to validate the experience of reality? How does the realist novel represent the difficulty of knowing? What comes to the fore in James''s account, as in so many, is how the forms of realism are constituted by a relation to unknowing, absence, and ineffability. Realism, Form, and Representation in the Edwardian Novel recovers a neglected literary history centred on the intricate relationship between fictional representation and philosophical commitment. It asks how—or if—we can conceptualize realist novels when the objects of their representational intentions are realities that might exist beyond what is empirically verifiable by sense data or analytically verifiable by logic, and are thus irreducible to conceptual schemes or linguistic practices—a formulation Charlotte Jones refers to as ''synthetic realism''. In new readings of Edwardian novels including Conrad''s Nostromo and The Secret Agent, Wells''s Tono-Bungay, and Ford''s The Good Soldier, this volume revises and reconsiders key elements of realist novel theory—metaphor and metonymy; character interiority; the insignificant detail; omniscient narration and free indirect discourse; causal linearity—to uncover the representational strategies by which realist writers grapple with the recalcitrance of reality as a referential anchor, and seek to give form to the force, opacity, and uncertain scope of realities that may lie beyond the material. In restoring a metaphysical dimension to the realist novel''s imaginary, Realism, Form, and Representation in the Edwardian Novel offers a new conceptualization of realism both within early twentieth-century literary culture and as a transhistorical mode of representation.

“If words have the power to heal, this book is the perfect medicine” (Alex Howard). “Honest and heartfelt poetry, telling a story that needs to be heard” (Steven Camden, Polarbear). This beautiful book takes you on a poetic journey through the wilderness of CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. Each poem is a little window into her soul. Charlotte Jones bares all in this inspirational story of hope and healing. These poems not only cover the pain and despair of living with such a debilitating illness but also highlight the joy, love, peace, and acceptance she finds along the way. When dealing with extreme emotions, words repeat rhythmically in Charlotte’s head over and over, until she releases them onto the page in the form of poetry. This has resulted in a raw, heartwarmingly honest, and sometimes humorous insight into the life of someone with CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. By sharing her story, Charlotte hopes to help tackle the loneliness of those in its grasp, give those around them an insight into their journey, and raise awareness of the illness. “I laughed out loud and had tears streaming down my face all at the same time.” “I felt so connected to it.” “At last, a book that really helped me understand.” “A beautiful read, capturing the daily life of CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia with passion and honesty.” “A courageous book, written from the soul.”

"''You never told me how crazy you were,'' Jack started again. ''On a scale of one to ten, you said? I''m off the charts. Actually, I''m here for the final fitting for my straitjacket.''

She can''t see the point of trying to change anything now. Until a chance encounter with a bipolar boy makes her want to start fighting. Aged seventeen, Meredith meets Jack in their psychiatrist''s waiting room. However, Meredith has a fear of physical contact of any kind.

Set in 1920''s England, Airswimming is based on the true story of two women (Miss Kitson and Miss Baker), who have been incarcerated in a hospital for the "criminally insane" for having borne illegitimate children. Forgotten by their families and not released until the 1970''s, Dora and Persephone adopt alter-egos, Dorph and Porph, to enact their fantasies and survive the silence of incarceration.

Shining Shira, the young and beautiful queen of Sunburst, inherits the Eshan power the moment her father is murdered. Her blood evaporates and is replaced with sunlight, which allows her to perform magic and become nearly invincible - unless someone penetrates her poitn of weakness or manages to remove her from sunlight longer than her body is able to endure. Conrad de Solis, the young, scarred, solemn captain of the queen''s guard, struggles to overcome both the guilt and injuries he sustained during the king''s assassination, and centers his life on protecting Shining Shira. When, on the night of her nineteenth birthday celebration, Shira is abducted, Conrad must not only find her and return her to sunlight before the light within her burns her through, but he must also face the darkest moment of his life - if he, and she, are able to survive it.

An award-winning new play that has been called "a brilliant latter-day variant on Elsinore in an English country garden blitzed by bees" (Sheridan Morley, The Spectator) All is not well in the Humble hive. Thirty-five-year-old Felix Humble is a Cambridge astrophysicist in search of a unified field theory, but after the sudden death of his father, James, a teacher and amateur beekeeper, he is forced to return to the family home in the English countryside. Once there he and his demanding mother, Flora, a glamorous former showgirl who resents having spent the last thirty years in suburban exile, attempt to reconcile themselves to James''s death and to each other, plumbing the depths of their anger as well as their love. The emotional turmoil increases exponentially with the arrival of George, Flora''s longtime lover, and his daughter Rosie, Felix''s former girlfriend, as Felix is forced to acknowledge that his search for unity must include his own chaotic home life. A play concerned with beekeeping and astrophysics, imbued with heartbreak and wit, larger questions of the universe and smaller questions of family dynamics, Humble Boy has been called "a feast: a serious, moving, cerebral feast" (The Sunday Times).
