If the playful baby dragon is ever to grow up to become a magnificent beast of myth and legend, it needs Jeremy and though he doesn't know it yet, Jeremy needs a dragon with a strong connection. Elive's magic shop with a strange marbled egg, it soon becomes clear that this is one pet he wasn't prepared for.

She visits the last bastion of old-world luxury - Hermès, which is still based in France, where old-fashioned highly skilled artisans still make their coveted Kelly and Birkin bags by hand. Dana Thomas has dug deep into the dark side of the luxury industry, finding out all the secrets that Prada, Gucci and Burberry don't want you to know. Quality has long since been replaced by quantity, and almost all of the manufacturing has been outsourced to large factories in places like China, where your expensive luxury brand handbag is being put together right next to a one from a mass-market label that costs substantially less. Gone are the family-owned businesses that were dedicated to integrity and quality the industry is now run by massive corporations that focus only on growth, visibility, brand-awareness, advertising and above all, profits. Today's luxury marketplace would be virtually unrecognizable to the old-world elite. It denoted a history of tradition, superior quality and a pampered buying experience. Once upon a time, luxury was only available to the rarefied and aristocratic world of old money and royalty luxury wasn't simply a product, it was a lifestyle. Beginning in 1914, he was a staff writer for and, from 1917, editor of Toronto-based Maclean's magazine.

Pollyanna Whittier, the book's titular heroine, has come to symbolize unrelenting happiness, regardless of the enormity of any situation. While the novel remains popular-inspiring at least two successful movie adaptations and several million copies sold since its initial publication-critical opinion, where it exists, has not been kind to Porter's most famous creation. INTRODUCTIONĪt the time of its release, Porter's juvenile novel Pollyanna: The Glad Book (1913) inspired the addition of a new word into the English lexicon: "Pollyanna"-a noun describing a person who is blindly optimistic. The following entry presents commentary on Porter's juvenile novel Pollyanna: The Glad Book (1913) through 2001.

Also like The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Of Sorrow and Such is a book that is fundamentally (even more so, really) concerned with the relationships between women and how we help each other survive (or not) in hostile, sometimes murderously, misogynistic societies. Edda’s Meadow is much less historical and much vaguer as a setting, but it definitely scratches that same itch. I adore witches of all sorts, and I have had a special place in my heart for these sort of vaguely historical witch stories since the first time I read The Witch of Blackbird Pond over twenty years ago. The thing is, stories about women being mistreated make me actually angry. Of Sorrow and Such is a thoughtful piece of work whose contemplative tone would be restful if its subject matter wasn’t so infuriating.
