This biography is to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational female friendships with the key women in her life. Curtis looks both at the effect of these relationships on her emotional life and the inspiration that each woman provided for the female protagonists in her fiction. The author begins by exposing the lesser-known details of Woolf's Victorian childhood, and continues with a study of the other unique women in Woolf's life: her sister Vanessa Bell; artist Dora Carrington; writer Katherine Mansfield; novelist Vita Sackville-West; and militant composer Ethel Smyth.

When the Second World War air raids threaten their safety in the city, Carrie and her brother Nick are evacuated to a small Welsh village. But the countryside has dangers and adventures of its own - and a group of characters who will change Carrie's life for ever. There's mean Mr Evans, who won't let the children eat meat; but there’s also kind Auntie Lou. There's brilliant young Albert Sandwich, another evacuee, and Mr Johnny, who speaks a language all of his own. Then there's Hepzibah Green, the witch at Druid’s Grove who makes perfect mince pies, and the ancient skull with its terrifying curse... For adults and young people aged eight and over. Emma Reeves has created a stunning stage adaptation of Nina Bawden’s much loved classic account of life as an evacuee in the 1940s, which opened at the Lillian Bayliss Theatre in November 2006. This edition includes teachers' notes and activities for classes based on the play.

Tabitha's just moved into a creepy old manor house with her family. It feels like the house is waiting for something, and she can't explain all the things that are happening here: she hears maids sobbing, old ladies are standing in the hall, and she feels a cold breath. She can't tell Dad or Mum, but least she has her little brother Ben to talk to.
