Not only did Tubman help liberate hundreds of slaves, she was the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War, worked as a spy for the Union Army, was a fierce suffragist, and was an advocate for the aged. Now, National Book Award nominee Erica Armstrong Dunbar presents a fresh take on this American icon blending traditional biography, illustrations, photos, and engaging sidebars that illuminate the life of Tubman as never before. As a leading abolitionist, her bravery and selflessness has inspired generations in the continuing struggle for civil rights. Harriet Tubman is best known as one of the most famous conductors on the Underground Railroad. In the bestselling tradition of The Notorious RBG comes a lively, informative, and illustrated tribute to one of the most exceptional women in American history-Harriet Tubman-a heroine whose fearlessness and activism still resonates today.

Benedict by going undercover at the Living Institute for the Very Enlightened. It’s been years since Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance helped Mr. I thought the series was done, and I was happy to be wrong. More people need to read this series! I had absolutely no idea that Riddle of Ages was coming out this year or even that it was coming out ever. It’s supposedly a bestseller, but I very rarely run into other people who’ve read it, which is deeply upsetting. It’s full of clever puzzles, brilliant characters, silly moments, and exciting action. A random bookseller recommended it to me forever ago, and I’m incredibly grateful to her because it is an absolutely delightful read. The Mysterious Benedict Societyby Trenton Lee Stewart is one of the best books for young readers that I’ve ever read. David Niven has the least colorful role and can do little with it as he endeavors to help Poirot solve the mystery. Other acting kudos among the suspects aboard a Nile steamer belong to Bette Davis as an elderly dowager with a penchant for stealing jewelry her servant, Maggie Smith, with whom she exchanges some priceless barbs Simon MacCorkindale and Lois Chiles as lovers Mia Farrow as a vengeful ex-sweetheart and of course Peter Ustinov as Poirot. The only real flaw is the film's tendency to move at a rather slow pace before things get more intense. I can't praise Angela Lansbury enough for her deft and daffy portrayal of a tipsy authoress-so good, she deserved at least an Oscar nomination. The script fashioned from one of her best works gives a number of interesting actors roles they can chew the scenery with-and most of them do. There can be no question about it-if you're a mystery fan of the sort of crime novels Agatha Christie wrote during her prolific writing career-this is for you. Murder aboard a Nile steamer in the 1930s is deftly handled here thanks to a good script and some excellent performances. In her mid-thirties, Lady Susan is recently widowed. One cannot help but be dazzled by her, if only momentarily. Lady Susan has no virtues she merely excels in affecting them. Lady Susan knows herself to be the smartest person in the room, but she is not required to submit to her intelligence to humility, as some of Austen's later heroines must. Love and Friendship is very funny, funnier still for its absence of moral reckoning. Stillman is free to invent conversations, and does so with a wit sharp enough to match Austen's. It is an epistolary novel there is no direct dialogue, an absence that Stillman, who scripts his own films, has turned into his own kind of opportunity. It was written early, around 1794, when the author was in her late teens, but remained unpublished until 1871. Lady Susan is an outlier among Austen's works. 'In one's plight lies one's opportunity,' she observes. She charms, she dissembles, she strategises like a military general. For sheer cunning, however, Lady Susan outdoes them all. The dilemma is common both to Austen's heroines and to this American director's: his five films have charted the romantic fortunes of young bourgeois women whose allowances won't quite support their aspirations, and whose relationships with men are, in large part, tactical alliances of wealth and status. 'I have no money and no husband,' comments Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) in Love and Friendship, Whit Stillman's adaptation of Jane Austen's novella, Lady Susan.
