In the fated year I came to live with my father and mother at Kinnaird, above Pitlochry. Then I walked on the red moors and by the side of the golden burn; the rude, pure air of our mountains inspirited, if it did not inspire us, and my wife and I projected a joint volume of logic stories, for which she wrote 'The Shadow on the Bed,' and I turned out 'Thrawn Janet' and a first draft of 'The Merry Men.' I love my native air, but it does not love me; and the end of this delightful period was a cold, a fly-blister, and a migration by Strathairdle and Glenshee to the Castleton of Braemar. There it blew a good deal and rained in a proportion; my native air was more unkind than man's ingratitude, and I must consent to pass a good deal of my time between four walls in a house lugubriously known as the Late Miss McGregor's Cottage. And now admire the finger of predestination. There was a schoolboy in the Late Miss McGregor's Cottage, home from the holidays, and much in want of 'something craggy to break his mind upon.' He had no thought of literature; it was the art of Raphael that received his fleeting suffrages; and with the aid of pen and ink and a shilling box of water colours, he had soon turned one of the rooms into a picture gallery. My more immediate duty towards the gallery was to be showman; but I would sometimes unbend a little, join the artist (so to speak) at the easel, and pass the afternoon with him in a generous emulation, making coloured drawings. On one of these occasions, I made the map of an island; it was elaborately and (I thought) beautifully coloured; the shape of it took my fancy beyond expression; it contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets; and with the unconsciousness of the predestined, I ticketed my performance 'Treasure Island.' I am told there are people who do not care for maps, and find it hard to believe. The names, the shapes of the woodlands, the courses of the roads and rivers, the prehistoric footsteps of man still distinctly traceable up hill and down dale, the mills and the ruins, the ponds and the ferries, perhaps theStanding Stone or the Druidic Circle on the heath; here is an inexhaustible fund of interest for any man with eyes to see or twopence worth of imagination to understand with! No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies. Somewhat in this way, as I paused upon my map of 'Treasure Island,' the future character of the book began to appear there visibly among imaginary woods; and their brown faces and bright weapons peeped out upon me from unexpected quarters, as they passed to and fro, fighting and hunting treasure, on these few square inches of a flat projection. The next thing I knew I had some papers before me and was writing out a list of chapters. How often have I done so, and the thing gone no further!

Explore the man behind the myth of Richard III in this special thirtieth anniversary edition of The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Penman. Step into the tumultuous world of the 15th century England with Sharon Penman's bestselling and painstakingly detailed historical novel, breathing life into the infamous King Richard III, showcasing his prowess as a battle commander during the Wars of the Roses. Richard is a fiercely loyal, courageous man of principles. A devoted brother, a beloved patron of the arts, and a generous friend, and far more than the warrior his reputation suggests. But in the treacherous waters of court politics, Richard's code of conduct betrays him. Pulled under by the tides of history, Richard is the man immortalised as a usurper of the throne, and the man behind the mystery of the Princes in the Tower. Crafted with vibrant brushstrokes of medieval life, love, and intrigue, The Sunne in Splendour peers into the past, dispelling myths and illuminating a lost era with poignant realism.

"I sat down and wrote something." In a forgotten collection, Arthur Conan Doyle, R. L. Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, and other late 19th century authors talk about being published for the first time. This is not a children's book, as may be supposed from the title, but a collection of essays first published in The Idler magazine, in which over twenty well-known authors write with characteristic style and humor of their experiences in writing their first book... and getting it published. Authors include Jerome K. Jerome, R. L. Stevenson, Bret Harte, Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, Conan Doyle and Mary Braddon. Full of charm, humor and pathos, this book is like a fireside chat with great writers of the past, as well as being a fascinating insight into the literary scene of the late 19th century. Packed with historical anecdotes you never knew, and loads of writing wisdom from the masters of the craft, "My First Book" is an indispensable collection to both readers and writers as an insight into the craft, and particularly the business of writing, that's still refreshingly relevant.

This is a really interesting, peculiar book. It's a collection of essays by authors who were big (some bigger than others) in the late Victorian period. They're looking back on their first book, usually interpreted as their first publication. Some of the stories are absolutely wild, while others are interesting for being typical of the time. One of the big takeaways for me was that 19th century publishing in London was a lot like Hollywood today. You had wannabes, scammers, hangers-on, all kinds of people who were attracted not by any attachment to writing as a discipline, but to the promise of money. The tenor of these stories is often wild and wooly. In Zangwill's essay, he talks about starting up a writing venture purely to make money, at a time when he was a student-teacher at a university. He was actually making a killing off of writing exploitative stories of the Jewish community he came from when the big-wigs of the university caught him out and threatened to expel him unless he stopped publishing. Another author almost pays a publisher 100 pounds for the honour of being published, only to realize at the last second that she was being played. And the scammer after her money was a genuine, bona-fide publisher! It was just that in between publishing novels he genuinely expected to succeed, he charged would-be authors to print their bad novels. The premises of a lot of these novels are pretty wild, too. This was the heyday of the sensation novel, and we get to hear some pretty sensational premises. I especially liked the plot to "Dead Man's Rock," a Stevenson rip-off about bloodthirsty pirates. I should add that since this was also the heyday of British imperialism, we get some significant doses of that, too. H. Rider Haggard in Africa, Rudyard Kipling in India, and Morley Roberts in North America (including BC). The blithe, unconcerned way that colonialism is introduced by these writers can be pretty hard to take. I found Roberts' thoughts on the good it does a man to go to the frontier to be especially painful. In the long run, though, I think it provided me a good window into the mentality of colonialism, so I don't regret reading it. All things considered, this is a great piece of social history which is also engaging on the level of gossipy chit-chat. (Sunrise)

By sharing their stories and experiences, other parents and individuals with APD understand they are not alone. The authors of the book live all over the world, and found each other on social media sites, while looking for answers during their times of struggle. Through this connection, they started talking to one another, sharing advice, telling their stories, and developed relationships with one another. They now have a group of supportive people who can share in their unique experiences, help guide them through the process of getting help, and provide emotional support during those very difficult moments.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is considered a "hidden" disorder, which is difficult to diagnose, and is often mistaken for something else. The literature and resources for someone with APD are minimal, which contributes to one feeling alone on their journey through discovery and treatment. The authors of Same Journey, Different Paths have combined their stories in this book so that others can learn through their experiences, and get the help they need to be successful in school and in life. Join these remarkable people on their journeys of living with Auditory Processing Disorder.
