Book Description

Helen Allingham's paintings of rural England now enjoy enormous popularity and receive greater acclaim than ever before. In this new biography, the first for almost 90 years, the astonishing versatility of Helen Allingham's work is revealed. The 110 illustrations show that the painter of cottages in fact produced fine seaside and farmyard scenes, portraits and interiors as well as the much-loved flower borders. Seen also for the first time are some twenty of Helen's early pencil sketches, photographs and examples of her magazine illustrations.

Book Description

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography Louisa May Alcott is known universally. Yet during Louisa's youth, the famous Alcott was her father, Bronson—an eminent teacher and a friend of Emerson and Thoreau. He desired perfection, for the world and from his family. Louisa challenged him with her mercurial moods and yearnings for money and fame. The other prize she deeply coveted—her father's understanding—seemed hardest to win. This story of Bronson and Louisa's tense yet loving relationship adds dimensions to Louisa's life, her work, and the relationships of fathers and daughters.
