An Accomplished Woman: A Novel

Penguin Adult HC/TR

Time travel. History. Love. Mystery... and a woman who wakes up in the middle of it all. Each night, when Robin drifts off to sleep, she finds herself dreaming about the life of a woman in the Victorian age. She soon realizes it’s not a dream at all, but she is truly slipping into San Francisco’s past. 
 While living two lives — one as a mom in the modern day, the other as a proper young lady at the turn of the century — she discovers how she’s being sent back to a bygone era is only the first mystery. A much more important question is why she’s there. 
 With the help of a rookie police officer, Robin takes off on a spellbinding adventure, sifting through a century’s worth of clues to untangle the past — and to put love to the test. History, though, proves itself a worthy opponent, and she comes to experience firsthand how destiny can be kind and cruel in the same stroke.

This is not a typical coloring book! It features authentic vintage images that were drawn nearly a century ago. Here's a collection of beautiful hand-drawn vintage lifestyle portraits to color, featuring 42 antique illustrations of women from the early 1900s by artist Nell Brinkley. The moment you open this book, you will be enchanted by this collection of classic illustrations of women, originally created by the talented artist Nell Brinkley between 1912 and 1919. For years, Brinkley's iconic black and white line art regularly appeared in newspapers across the United States. While her unique style made her a household name, most of the individual works were quickly relegated to dusty archives -- and lost to later generations. Until now. Inside, you'll find dozens of her lifestyle portraits of women that we rediscovered and made into coloring pages. Every one of the 42 vintage images in this book was carefully chosen, then painstakingly restored by hand using digital technology in order to return it to its original glory. As a bonus, each highly-detailed antique picture is printed only on one side of the white paper, allowing you to color with your choice of medium without worrying about bleed-through to an image on the back. Enjoy a little modern-day relaxation and explore your creativity while giving these illustrations from the past a colorful new life! Note: In keeping with the original designs, the pictures are often very intricate, and there are large areas of black on certain pages. We chose not to over-simplify the artwork because of the tremendous amount of detail (and personality) that would be lost in the process. Please visit the publisher's site at Synchronista.com to view thumbnails of the illustrations in this book.

Vintage Women: Adult Coloring Book #2: Vintage Fashion from the Edwardian Era (Vintage Women: Adult Coloring Books)

The twenties was a decade like no other. Between these covers, you will find 45 coloring pages with 60 different examples of clothes popular in the early 1920s. As you will soon see, the “flapper style” commonly portrayed in movies and on TV really represents just a fraction of what was considered to be in vogue at the time. “Flappers” were all about independence, confidence, bucking tradition, and forging new paths. Young women rebelled against their mothers’ and grandmothers’ corsets and petticoats, instead adopting sassy fashions featuring straight lines that emphasized slender frames. While the dress silhouettes were usually sleek, the fabrics and ornamentation used for the clothing often made up for such simplicity. Patterns — including stripes, stylized florals and other elaborate motifs — adornments like fringe, sequins and other exquisite details were prized. Popular accouterments included parasols, fans, wraps and scarves, feathered headbands and all manner of hats. It’s time to give these outfits from the Roaring Twenties the color and the verve they have been missing for the better part of a century!

Vintage Women: Adult Coloring Book #3: Vintage Fashion from the Early 1920s (Vintage Women: Adult Coloring Books)

Just before the turn of the century, women found out about the latest “handsome” and “nobby” style trends from the newspaper. Between the covers of this book, you will find 47 coloring pages showing more than 80 different examples of the tea gowns and walking dresses, evening costumes and dainty frocks that were popular in the United States during the late Victorian era — specifically, 1895 to 1899. All are lifestyle scenes, showing the newest styles drawn into a social situation or location. The definitive word on what to wear and how to wear it typically came via dispatches from Paris, which detailed the latest European fashions. This trend news was delivered on the women’s page of the Sunday paper, where every aspect of the attire — color, cut, fabric and trim — was thoroughly described and illustrated. Although the outfits are all from a five-year span, the definition of “stylish” was constantly changing. Grand announcements about the current trends were regularly published in the papers beneath headlines like, “All About The Latest Fashions” and “Correct Cycling Dress.” Take a look back to the Gilded Age, and give these clothes the color and verve they have been missing for more than a hundred years!
