The Story of the Amulet

E. Nesbit

The Story of the Amulet is a novel for children, written in 1906 by E. Nesbit. It is the final part of a trilogy of novels that also includes Five Children and It (1902) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904). In it the children re-encounter the Psammead—the "it" in Five Children and It. As it no longer grants wishes to the children, however, its capacity is mainly advisory in relation to the children's other discovery, the Amulet, thus following a formula successfully established in The Phoenix and the Carpet.

Persuasion

Jane Austen

The illness which curtailed Jane Austens relatively short life may have imparted a mellow quality to her writing for certainly this is a gentler more reflective observation of loves vagaries and follies than her earlier work. It has been suggested that she modelled her heroine on her own character which may also be why she is more forgiving. Phlegmatic Anne is the unappreciated strength within her family-a vain pompous father, a self regarding  and self deluding older sister and a dissatisfied and selfish younger one. At the age of  nineteen Anne was ‘persuaded’ out of an engagement to Frederick Wentworth, an ambitious, highly principled and determined naval gentleman who departs in angry indignation. Eight years later by coincidental circumstances he is brought into her social circle once more having obtained wealth and reputation. Despite competition from two younger ladies and the interference of a would-be suitor of her own can she persuade Wentworth of her constancy, allow her heart to rule her head and become the mistress of her own destiny.

Bleak March in Epping Forest...

H. G. Wells

"Bleak March in Epping Forest" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

All along the selvage of Epping Forest there was excitement. Before the swallows, before the violets, long before the cuckoo, with only untimely honeysuckle bushes showing a trace of green, two trippers had been seen traversing the district, making their way towards High Beech, and settling awhile near the Forest Hotel.
