A female narrator looks back on her childhood in a coming-of-age novel set before the First World War. Ruan is an intelligent and imaginative child, who gradually comes to understand the nuances of the adult world around her, as she moves from the Manse, under the strict rule of her father, a non-conformist minister, to Cobbetts, her mother's ancestral home, under the tutelage of her Uncle Alaric, and back to the guardianship of Rosie Day at Bolton House high up on the moor above the town where she was born. Her young life is shaped by a series of tragedies, but also the warmth of enduring friendships, particularly with David, her dearest friend who shares her love of the wild expanse and colours of the moor.

Options can be limited for those who do not respond to standard eating disorder treatments. Schema therapy is one of the new exciting frontiers in the treatment of this clinical population, offering a much-needed model that integrates both developmental and deeper level personality factors. Schema Therapy for Eating Disorders is the first book of its kind, guiding clinicians to deliver the schema model to those with entrenched or enduring eating pathology, and in turn encouraging further clinical research on this approach to treatment. Written by an international team of leading schema therapy experts, and with a foreword by Wendy Behary and Jeffrey Young, this book draws on their clinical knowledge and research experience. Comprehensive and practical, this book introduces the rapidly growing evidence base for schema therapy, outlines the application of this model across eating disorder diagnostic groups, as well as individual and group modalities, and explores practical considerations, common challenges and the therapeutic process. The book includes detailed case examples, which provide a theoretical and practical basis for working with therapist-client schema chemistry and transference, and outlines methods of ensuring therapist self-care in the face of difficult and often long-term work. Innovative and accessible, this fresh look at the treatment of eating disorders will be an invaluable resource for clinicians in the field.

1927. From the Preface: Many of Shakespeare's plays contain parallel plots, or main and subplot, or scenes which, with a little editing, have a clear dramatic interest even when isolated from their context. It is such plots and scenes which have gone to make these little plays, which are intended primarily for acting, as finished productions in the school hall or informal ones in the schoolroom. But it is hoped that they may serve other purposes. Often, towards the end of term, when the Shakespeare set book has been carefully studied, something is wanted to occupy a few odd lessons. There is not time to embark upon a five-act play, and the reading of isolated unedited scenes has its obvious disadvantages. A little play may satisfactorily fill the gap, and add interest to the one studied in detail. The little plays may, again, serve as an introduction to the serious study of Shakespeare; they may be used on Shakespeare nights of the literary and dramatic society; and they should prove helpful in classes where the study of English literature presents difficulties. Contents: The Students of Navarre (from Love's Labour's Lost); The Shepherds' Festival (from The Winter's Tale); Dear Lady Disdain (from Much Ado About Nothing); The Feast of Capulet (from Romeo and Juliet); A Day at Ephesus (from The Comedy of Errors); Great Caesar's Death (from Julius Caesar); and The Queen and the Cardinal (from Henry VIII).
