"The Story of an African Farm" was South African author Olive Schreiner's first published novel. Published under the pseudonym Ralf Iron, it was an immediate success.

We join Waldo, Em and Lyndall and follow them through three acts as they grow from childhood into adulthood while living on a farm in the semi-desert Karoo in South Africa.

The book has become recognised as one of the first feminist novels. Published in 1883 it caused some controversy as it dealt with many taboo subjects.

Olive Schreiner went on to write many other books and to play a role in politics in the Cape Colony. Some of her subsequent works reflected her politics. She remained a women of principle throughout her life leaving the Women's Enfrichisement League after some of it's chapters wished to exclude back women from the vote.

Olive Schreiner is a must read for those wanting a taste of the Karoo and early South Africa. But also for those wanting to understand the pioneers of femanism who helped to shape our society that we might sometimes take for granted.

"The Light Princess," the princess who lost her gravity, has enchanted readers for generations.

A young princess is cursed, at her christening, to have no gravity by the uninvited Princess Makemnoit, sister to the King and a spiteful and bitter woman. As a result the princess is in constant danger of being blown away by the wind.

An enchanting tale, "The Light Princess" is one of George MacDonald's most loved stories.

MacDonald himself said, "I write, not for children, but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." He inspired C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll and Tolkin.

This edition preserves the authentic text as George MacDonald intended.
