Francis Scott Key was a very busy man. He and his wife had 11 children. He was a lawyer and many people came to him for advice. But whenever he had a moment, he would jot down a line of poetry. He loved writing poems. When the War of 1812 broke out, Francis became even busier. He was well-respected and often called upon to help keep the peace as the war between the United States and England raged on. One fateful night Francis and his friend helped talk the British Navy into releasing a prisoner of war. But they couldn't return home just yet because the Battle of Fort McHenry was starting If the British captured the fort, America might very well lose its independence. Francis and his friends could only sit on a boat and observe the battle. For 25 hours they watched in awe. What Francis saw inspired him to write a poem that would become America's national anthem This Step 3 reader is perfect for children who are ready to read independently.
Scottish Women's Gothic and Fantastic Writing considers four thematic areas of the supernatural - quests, dangerous women, doubles and ghosts - each explored in one of the four main chapters. Being the first critical work to bring together contemporary women's writing and the Scottish fantasy tradition, the volume pioneers in-depth investigation of some previously neglected texts such as Ali Smith's Hotel World; Alice Thompson's Justine; Margaret Elphinstone's longer fiction, as well as offering new readings of more popular texts including A.L. Kennedy's So I am glad, Emma Tennant's The Bad Sister and Two Women of London. Underlying the broad scope of this survey are the links - both explicit and implicit - established between the examined texts and the Scottish supernatural tradition. Having established a connection with a distinctively Scottish canon, Monica Germana points to the ways in which the selected texts simultaneously break from past traditions and reveal points of departure through their exploration of otherness as well as their engagement with feminist and postmodernist discourses in relation to the questions of identity and the interrogation of the real. Key Features * Original in scope and theoretical approach * Covers high profiles figures such as A L Kennedy, Muriel Spark and Emma Tennant as well as emerging authors such as Ali Smith and Alice Thompson * Contribution to scholarship in the areas of genre, gender and nation theory

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After the international success of Mr. Livingstone's Bookstore, M nica Guti rrez presents her own Christmas carol. A Christmas novel with a ghost, some humor under the mistletoe, and all that love we always deserve. A CASTLE IN SCOTLAND. TWO ENDEARING CHARACTERS. AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS. When the ghost of Uncle Archie confesses to Henry MacTavish that he is tired of wandering through the family's Scottish castle and asks for his help to move on to the great beyond, Henry is determined to make him change his mind. However, his Christmas campaign gets tangled with the arrival of Natalia Castro, from the Scottish Heritage Preservation Office. She is a charming botanist in love with Caledonian forests, hot chocolate, and Dr. Willoughby's Brief Guide of Castles and Gardens. Maybe Henry and Natalia have nothing in common apart from their wish to preserve the age-old castle, but the winter solstice celebration in a haunted place and a grumpy spirit are about to bring them together for the most excentric Christmas of their lives, and perhaps forever.
