Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen was born on February 24th, 1848 at Alwington, near Kingston, Canada West (now part of Ontario). Home schooled until 13 when his family moved to England, Grant was to become a highly regarded science writer who branched out to a fiction career and became enormously popular. His work helped propel several genres of fiction and whilst his career was short it was enormously productive. Grant’s scientific background enabled him to root much of his work in a plausibility that was denied to others. He had little fear in challenging a society that treated women as second class citizens and creating best sellers from such works. On October 25th 1899 Grant Allen died at his home in Hindhead, Haslemere, Surrey, England. He died just before finishing Hilda Wade. The novel\'s final episode, which he dictated to his friend, doctor and neighbour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from his bed appeared under the appropriate title, The Episode of the Dead Man Who Spoke in 1900.

Ross Ransome is at the top of his profession; one of the most successful, and certainly one of the richest, plastic surgeons in the business. Such a man would expect his wife to be perfect - and why not? After all, he has spent enough hours in surgery to get her that way. But when his wife falls ill she turns her back on conventional medicine, and her arid marriage, and seeks help from the world of alternative medicine and a charismatic therapist who promises not just medical salvation. For Ransome, this is the ultimate betrayal. It defies logic, and Ross Ransome is a profoundly logical man. Logically, he can see no reason why any man should have his wife when he can't. It's all completely rational... Views: 383
Dave Dawson at Dunkirk marks the very beginning of Robert Sidney Bowen\'s classic series of World War II adventure stories for boys. Published in 1941, barely a year after the disastrous Allied retreat at Dunkirk, this novel struck a chord among members of the American and British public, selling extraordinarily well in paperback form. We join the protagonist Dave Dawson, who must escape the German war machine against all odds during what is arguably the most chaotic retreat in the history of warfare. The success of his premier fiction led Bowen to produce no fewer than fourteen sequels, all of which starred his gallant, brave and courageous hero Dave Dawson. Dawson himself mirrors his creator (a former RAF pilot in World War One) with the prolific adventures and successes he enjoys in a variety of locations during the Second World War. Today the Dave Dawson series remains quite popular, in part for their readability and the memories they gave to the wartime generation of youngsters who enjoyed them. This edition is presented unabridged and complete. Views: 383
