In 1501, Anne of Brittany devises the perfect match for her only child by Louis XII, King of France. Their daughter will become the most powerful woman in Europe if she marries the future Holy Roman Emperor. But Louis balks. Instead, he wishes her to marry his successor. How else to keep his own bloodline on the throne?Anne is incensed. Why should her daughter not rule Brittany one day as her successor? Better to be a decision maker as ruler of Brittany, where women are not forbidden to rule, than only to sit next to France's future king as queen-consort, bereft of political power. Anne wants Louis to stay out of Italy, but Louis is determined to gain a foothold there for France. Joining Ferdinand of Spain in a secret pact to partition southern Italy, Louis soon discovers, with devastating results, the age of chivalry is over.As lovers, Anne and Louis are in accord. As rulers, their aims differ. Who will prevail? Book Three of the Anne of Brittany Series brings alive Anne of Brittany's story to modern readers in an accessible and historically accurate way.This late medieval to early Renaissance ruler of Brittany provides a strong role model to women in leadership positions today. A rigorous proponent of the education of women, Anne of Brittany was also one of Europe's biggest patrons of the arts, largely responsible for bringing the Italian Renaissance to France and to Brittany, which was an independent realm during her lifetime, from 1477-1514. She is the only woman in history who was twice crowned Queen of France.Anne of Brittany's story should be included in any European historical fiction collection. The Anne of Brittany Series should be categorized with historical fiction works by authors such as Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Antonia Fraser. Readers of Tudor history, in particular, will enjoy expanding their knowledge of historical figures in Brittany and France who ruled during the Tudor era.It is interesting to note that Anne of Brittany's father, Francis II, Duke of Brittany, provided shelter and support to Henry Tudor during his years of exile in Brittany before ascending the English throne in 1485, marking the start of the modern age. Brittany itself maintains a strong Celtic identity since the 8th century when it was settled by explorers from Wales and Cornwall.

Salvaged from a devastating fire, Day's photographs and stories provide glimpses into her close friendship with author Hervé Guibert In the fall of 2013, the house of American photographer Anne Day burnt to the ground. A few of her prints and negatives survived in a file cabinet but had become completely charred: only remnants of images and traces of a younger self remained. A close friend of hers in the early 1980s was the French photographer and author Hervé Guibert (1955–91). They worked together on magazine assignments for Le Monde, profiling Orson Welles, Jane Fonda and the antique dealer Madeleine Castaing, to name a few. When not working, they took day trips to the seaside; Guibert introduced Day to his Parisian circle of friends. He took her to see performances by Pina Bausch and Mark Morris and they dined with Cartier-Bresson and Duane Michals. While Day made her living as a photographer, it was the photos she took of her grandmother that Guibert loved the most. Taking its title from an article Guibert wrote about Day, this volume mixes Day's burnt prints with her anecdotes about the people she knew and the places she frequented.

Ocean waves carried Anne Frankland (nee Mason, 1793-1842) around the world. From England to India to South Africa and Australia, and back again several times. The product of an upper-class family with a proud history of well-regarded professional and charitable men, Anne could never have imagined what would become of the nearly destitute 26-year-old spinsteremployed as a governess about to leave London for India in March 1820. Her life evolved in a series of events, circumstances and opportunities. From a daughter, granddaughter and sister, she became a teacher, a friend, a wife, a mother, the mistress of a large estate and a member of the upper echelon of society, all within the bounds of an antipodean English colony that was on the other side of the world.The wife of Van Diemen's Lands' Surveyor General George Frankland (1800-1838), Anne also became the chief supporter of his career progression, the quiet confidante and counsel with regards to his public portrayal within a brutal Hobart Town press, the host of his many balls, dinners and soir es, and the worried partner when George was away in the remote Van Diemen's Land wilderness. And then she lost it all: her home, her husband, her life as it was.Whereas Anne and her three teenage children returned to England a few weeks following her husband's death in late 1838, her legacy remains in the Gothic and Georgian-era sandstone residence, Secheron House, that she and George built in the early 1830s overlooking a small, sheltered bay at Battery Point on the edge of the River Derwent. With this book, her personal legacy is no longer hidden in the shadows of history. A life lived within nineteenth-century class conformities and complexities, of love and loss, of financial gain and hardship, this is Anne Frankland's story.

When Marilla Cuthbert and her brother, Matthew, decide to adopt a child from a distant orphanage, they don't get quite what they bargained for. The child who awaits them at the tiny Bright River train station is not the strapping young boy they'd imagined--someone to help Matthew work the fields of their small farm--but rather a freckle-faced, redheaded girl named Anne (with an e, if you please). Matthew and Marilla may not be sure about Anne, but Anne takes one look at Prince Edward Island's red clay roads and the Cuthberts' snug white farmhouse with its distinctive green gables and decides that she's home at last. But will she be able to convince Marilla and Matthew to let her stay? Armed with only a battered carpetbag and a boundless imagination, Anne charms her way into the Cuthberts' hearts--and into the hearts of readers as well. She truly is, in the words of Mark Twain, "the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."

In the years since she arrived at Green Gables, Anne has earned the love and respect of the people of Avonlea--as well as a reputation for getting herself into predicaments.

Soon enough she is the one learning lessons, however, as she starts to realize how complicated life can be.

The once awkward, freckle-faced little girl is now a mature and responsible young woman, but Anne's imaginative spirit is as strong as ever in this sequel to the much-loved Anne of Green Gables.

Nimbus Publishing Limited

The bestselling biography of renowned Japanese translator of Anne of Green Gables is available in English for the first time. The name Hanako Muraoka is revered in Japan. Her Japanese translation of L. M. Montgomery's beloved children's classic Anne of Green Gables, Akage no An (Redhaired Anne) was the catalyst for the book's massive and enduring popularity in Japan. A book that has since spawned countless interpretations, from manga to a long-running television series, and has remained on Japanese curriculum for half a century. For the first time, the bestselling biography of Hanako Muraoka written by her granddaughter, Eri Muraoka, and translated by the award-winning Cathy Hirano (The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up), is available in English. Born into an impoverished family of tea merchants in rural Japan at the end of the nineteenth century, Hanako Muraoka's fortunes change dramatically when she is offered a place at an illustrious girls' school in Tokyo founded by the Methodist Church of Canada. Nurtured by the Canadian missionaries who teach her, she falls in love with English poetry and literature. This love of the written word develops into a passion for writing and translating children's literature that sustains Hanako through devastating personal tragedies and the tumult of the twentieth century. In 1941, after Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, Hanako abruptly resigns from her role of reading children's news over the radio -- for which she is known and loved throughout Japan as "Radio Auntie". Branded as "enemies", the peace-loving missionaries who nurtured Hanako in her youth and with whom she later worked have been forced to leave the country. But Hanako finds solace in a gift received from a Canadian friend: a copy of L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. Although it is a book from an "enemy nation", the story of Anne Shirley brings back vivid memories of precious friends in distant lands, giving Hanako courage and hope for the future. Amidst the wail of air-raid sirens, she begins translating her copy into Japanese in 1943, fully aware that she risks imprisonment and even death if caught. Although she completes the majority of the work by the end of the war, it is only much later that a publisher decides to take a chance on a Canadian author previously unknown in Japan, unwittingly launching a cross-cultural literary legacy that continues to this day. Anne's Cradle tells the complex and captivating story of a woman who risked her freedom and devoted her life to bringing quality children's literature to her people during a period of tumultuous change in Japan. Through the gift of Hanako Muraoka's translations, generations of Japanese readers have fallen in love with a plucky redhead from Prince Edward Island.
