The Flying Inn is the final novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1914. It is set in a future England where the Temperance movement has allowed a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam to dominate the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate". The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily prevent the police taking action against them. Eventually the heroes and their followers foil an attempted coup by an Islamic military force.

George Washington hated having his portrait painted, but as president of the United States, he knew his image needed to live on. This nonfiction picture book explores how artist Gilbert Stuart created Washington's most lasting and recognized portrait--the one that's used on the one-dollar bill. ★ Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ Publishers Weekly, starred review★ Booklist, starred review George Washington and artist Gilbert Stuart didn't always see eye-to-eye, but both men knew the importance of legacy and the power of art. Though George disliked having his portrait painted--which took days and days to complete--he knew his place in history would require people to know his face. Fortunately, Gilbert Stuart's unique way of painting didn't compel his subjects to sit for hours on end--in fact, he encouraged them to move around and even bring friends to chat with. Capturing the soul of each subject, his portraits were unlike any other artists'. And Gilbert Stuart's one-of-a-kind portrait of Washington stands the test of time--it's the one that's used on the one-dollar bill.A great read for President's Day

No musical partnership has enjoyed greater success during its time span, or bequeathed a more powerful and enduring legacy, than that of Gilbert and Sullivan in the later nineteenth century. Even before their first successful collaboration in 1875, both William Schwenk Gilbert (1836-1911) and Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900) had already forged considerable reputations for themselves. Thereafter, between 1877 and 1896, Gilbert wrote the librettos, and Sullivan the music, for no fewer than a dozen Savoy operas, among them the still regularly performed ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’ (1878), ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ (1879), ‘Iolanthe’ (1882), ‘The Mikado’ (1885), ‘The Yeomen of the Guard’ (1888) and ‘The Gondoliers’ (1889). Not only are the plots ingenious, the lyrics witty and the music compelling, the operas also present modern audiences with splendidly rich and satirical evocations of Victorian England and its society: the prime subject matter of this book!

The Trials by Opera of Gilbert and Sullivan and Richard D'Oyly Carte explores the relationship of these three creative geniuses. They created a sensational new genre of musical entertainment but their fractious relationship was held together by the diplomacy and organisational ability of Helen D'Oyly Carte. During the period from 1875 to 1890 William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan had great success with their comic operas, both at home and overseas. Richard D'Oyly Carte played an invaluable part in the promotion of their productions, but this led to conflict with Gilbert who never accepted the importance of D'Oyly Carte's contribution and resented him making money on the back of the Gilbert and Sullivan's creative talents. Although Gilbert and Sullivan produced harmonious and beloved work, their relationship was far from congenial. Gilbert disliked Sullivan's sybaritic tendencies and his hobnobbing with the great and the good including royalty. Sullivan found Gilbert abrasive. Business and copyright problems abounded during this time but despite conflicts, legal actions and ill health, Gilbert, Sullivan and Richard D'Oyly Carte created a legacy of gloriously staged music which endures today.
