If I Make a Million She'll Not Get a Penny, by Norla Rankin

Lorna McBride is from a small town outside of Cardiff, England. When she learned that the man who owed her money had married into one of the richest and most influential families in the world, that of the Sultan of Brunei, she decided not to get angry, but to get even.

This is the true story of a man who talked Mrs. McBride, the elderly grandmother of his illegitimate son into lending him £25,000 for three months-which, with interest, grew over time to £60,000.

Her only asset was a cottage which had been left to her as security for her old age. She was forced to sell this to pay off the man's debt, when he refused to repay her.

This her story.

The Palazzo, written in a bracing, astringent style, is a novel the about the Eternal City's eternal delights where Americans do in Rome as Americans do, and Romans do as Romans have done for centuries.

The Book Reader's review: “Another time, another sensibility, another world... It captures the beat and the pace of Italian life in the 1950s. Wittily written, it provides us with the crowded humanity that has always been Rome that eternal city filled with volatile lives densely packed into an endless humor.”

Mark Twain's secret of the Universe. A masterpiece! It is widely considered to be one of the top 100 greatest books of all time. The Mysterious Stranger, Mark Twain's last work, was begun in 1897 and revised first in 1902 and then in 1908, the third version was the only manuscript actually titled The Mysterious Stranger. This is a tour-de-force of Mark Twain's literary stile and mastery of plot, believed by some to be his best work. From a light-hearted beginning, the book creeps into a fantasy world on its way to an unexpected and shocking ending.

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910). Mark Twain was an American author and humorist. However, beyond that, he was fascinated with science, scientific inquiry, and an early adopter of science fiction. His book, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, features a time traveler from contemporary America, using his knowledge of science to introduce modern technology to Arthurian England. This type of storyline would later become a common feature of science fiction.

The Mysterious Stranger is a brilliant work going beyond science fiction into the unknown.

This new edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. is set in large type which is great for children - and for some of the older generation, as well.

The book is full illustrated with the famous illustrations from the original edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
