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.

(Helen) Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English author and illustrator, botanist, and conservationist, born in Kensington, London best known for her children`s books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.

The city`s fate relies on four young students of the recently founded Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Marcus Mansfield, a Civil War veteran determined to repay MIT`s founder for taking a chance on him, brash Bob Richards, meticulous Edwin Hoyt and the eccentric but brilliant Ellen Swallow,...
