198726560Winchester: St. Paul's Bibliographies 1987. cloth dust jacket. Children's Books. 8vo. cloth dust jacket. xxix 142 pages. First edition. Mary Elliott then Mary Belson began writing for children in 1809 at a time when increasing literacy and wealth and more progressive understanding of the reading needs of children were creating a growing demand for more and more books for young people. Beginning with two books in verse - one a lively tale about town and country mice the other an anthology including many of her own poems - she went on to produce a stream of books on a variety of subjects. Her stories some eventful and exciting were mostly about real children learning to tackle the everyday circumstances and difficulties which they encountered in the world around them. <BR><br /> These books were made all the more attractive by her publisher William Darton who provided them with entertaining illustrations many of them interesting today for their depiction of contemporary scenes and fashions. Mary Elliott's books soon spread across the Atlantic and American publishers reissued many of them sometimes adapting the text to local circumstances. Although her books are now forgotten they cannot be disregarded by researchers into the history of childhood and of children's literature. This bibliography contains about 470 entries detailing not only each known edition of her books but also the picture-sheets reward cards and combined volumes of assorted tales and verses.

20022275510John Wiley & Sons Inc 2002. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Ink name on front endpaper. 2002 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. x 182 pp. "They brought balls of spun cotton and parrots and javelins and other little things that it would be tiresome to write down and they gave everything for anything that was given to them. I was attentive and labored to find out if there was any gold." With these portentous words Christopher Columbus described one of his first encounters with Native Americans on the island of Guanahani which he had named San Salvador and claimed for Spain the day before. In Columbus in the Americas bestselling author William Least Heat-Moon reveals that Columbus's subsequent dealings with the cultures he encountered not only did considerable immediate harm but also set the pattern of behavior for those who followed him. Based on the logbook of Columbus and numerous other firsthand accounts of his four voyages to the New World this vividly detailed history also examines the strengths and weaknesses of Columbus as a navigator explorer and leader. It recounts dramatic events such as the destruction of Fortress Navidad the very first European settlement in the New World; a pitched battle in northern Panama with the native Guaymi people; and an agonizing year Columbus and his men spent marooned on a narrow spit of land in southern Jamaica. Filled with stories of triumph and tragedy courage and villainy Columbus in the Americas offers a balanced yet unflinching portrait of the most famous and controversial explorer in history.

The most renowned female screenwriter of the 20th century and one of the most respected scriptwriters of any gender Frances Marion was the first writer to win two Academy Awards for her writing on The Big House 1930 and The Champ 1931 and the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. She served in Europe as a combat correspondent during World War I after which she moved to Los Angeles and was employed by director Lois Weber as an assistant in which position she received a thorough apprenticeship in the film industry. She began writing scripts and attracted the attention of Mary Pickford. The pair began a long relationship as both friends and artists with Marion serving as Pickford's official screenwriter. She wrote many of Pickford's most famous and memorable silent films as well as many other of the great successful pictures of the 1920s and 1930s and has been credited with writing 300 scripts and over 130 produced films. Her influence resurrected the career of Marie Dressler and resulted in her greatest glory and her scripts for Marion Davies are among the most memorable of that actress' oeuvre. She died in 1973 one of the most respected names in Hollywood history. 1335701. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. The Bobbs-Merrill Company hardcover books
