Best-in-books: four-in-one
THE WIND IN THE FOREST by Inglis Fletcher - The bitter conflict between the frontier farmers of the western counties and conservative planters of the Tidewater of North Carolina culminated in May 1771 in the unequal but stubbornly contested Battle of Alamance. At the head of the planters and the Provincial government stood the Royal Governor, William Tryon - solder, aristocrat, strong man intent on upholding the dignity and authority of government. Opposite Tryon stood Harmon Husband, a strange, quiet man who could sway men's minds with his pen. A man of Quaker principles, he hated violence; yet his pamphlets and handbills which told frontiersmen that corrupt officials, unequal laws, and taxes discriminated against them and menaced thier holding of land, could only lead to violence, when the farmer's petitions were rejected, thier discontent flamed into armed rebellion and tragic war. Against this large political drama Mrs. Fletcher has set the personal drama of young Hillary Caswell, his love story and his decision for freedom. This is Mrs. Fletcher's ninth - perhaps her finest - novel of American history. Once again she breathes live into history and the men and women who made it.
DANDELION WINE by Ray Bradbury - I'm really alive! he thought. I never knew it before ... Think of it! Twelve years old and only now! now discovering this rare timepiece, this clock gold-bright and guaranteed to run threescore and ten ... Douglas Spaulding made this wonderful discovery on the fist day of summer, 1928. Before his were three months of unguessed wonders; he would watch, listen, savor the bittersweet life that surrounded him in is small Illinois home town. He would find an extraordinary procession of people passing through his life that summer including a handsome young reporter and the charming ninety year old lady with whom he fell in love. Even the seasonal rituals became very special to Douglas; beating the rugs, setting up the porch swing, bottling the dandelion wine which would hold the essence of summer through the cold winter nights. As Ray Bradbury recreates these important months in Douglas Spaulding's life, you cannot help remembering the magical time of your own youthful summers.
WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BETTING LIVING by John A. Schindler - How can a woman best fit herself to handle the problems she meets in the course of her often complicated and difficult life? Howe can she go on tot the rich full life that is within the grasp of every intelligent woman? The answer, Fr. Schindler point out, lies in finding her strengths, her weaknesses, and making herself into the mature person she wants to be. In addition to explaining what the different aspects of maturity are and how to develop them, the author then shows how to apply these maturities to the trouble spots of living. The late Dr. Schindler was a general practitioner, personal counselor, and co-founder and member of the Monroe Clinic at Monroe Wisconsin. His how to live 365 days a year, an excerpt from which appeared in an earlier best in books volume, was one of the best selling health books of all time.
