Daniel Stone has always been close to his daughter. Staying at home to look after her while his wife pursued a career as a top level academic, his was always the first name she called. But recently it seems, without him noticing it, his daughter is gone, and in her place is a stranger. Until the night fourteen-year-old Trixie comes home from a party claiming she was raped, and suddenly she needs him more than ever before. Because the whole school knew Jason Underhill broke Trixie`s heart, but that doesn’t make him a rapist, does it? For Daniel, there is no doubt: his daughter is innocent. He has failed to protect her once. Now he will do anything to save her.

Anne Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Bronte literary family. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is her the second and final novel. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontes` novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne`s death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events connected with the meeting of his wife. He is deeply intrigued by Helen Graham, a beautiful and secretive young widow who has moved into nearby Wildfell Hall with her young son. He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive...

The ancient order of the Knights Templar possessed untold wealth and absolute power over kings and until the Inquisition, when they were wiped from the face of the earth, their hidden riches lost. But now two forces vying for the treasure have learned that it is not at all what they thought it was-and its true nature could change the modern world. Cotton Malone, one-time top operative for the Justice Department, is enjoying his quiet new life as an antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen when an unexpected call to action reawakens his hair-trigger instincts - and plunges him back into the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he`d left behind. It begins with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton`s former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who`s far...

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, considered by many as the greatest English writer. Hundreds of specialists were able to translate his works into every major language, and most of the plays are performed more often than those of any other author. "The Taming of the Shrew" is a stellar comedy that tells the tale of Petruchio, a fortune seeker who decides to marry Katherina, a strong-willed and even stubborn young woman. Petruchio then tries to tame her temperament in a hilarious style that only Shakespeare can create.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious ‘tenant’ of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father`s influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her. On its first publication in 1848, Anne Brontë`s second novel was criticised for being `coarse` and `brutal`. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of...

To celebrate Peter`s birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter`s original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter`s works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter`s intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter`s original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix...
