This history of lace and lacemaking was first published in 1908. It describes the development of lace from an early embroidery technique to its main branches in needle lace and bobbin lace. The author produces evidence that needle laces were being made at a much earlier date than is commonly thought. She supports her statements with references to early documents and even frescos showing examples of cutwork and needlepoint fillings. She gives the history of each lace with their major centre of production,and traces the influence of contemporary art and design on the development of lace and the distinctive characteristics of various hand and machine made laces. In the chapter devoted to English laces the author deals with lesser known areas of lacemaking, such as Sherborne, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. The book is a companion for both the collector and the lacemaker.

All of the beauty and vividness of Anderson's original prose is captured in this faithful, modern translation. Some of the most famous of his fairy tales are gathered here, among them "the Ugly Duckling", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "the Snow Queen", "The Red Shoes" and "The Little Mermaid". In Addition, many of Andersen's less familiar, but equally lovely tales are included: "The Old Oak Tree's Last Dream", "The Great Sea Serpent", "The Shadow", and "The Professor and the Flea" to name a few. If you have never come across these stories, anticipate the enchantment that only a master storyteller can provide. Andersen's stories are aglow with lyrical and romantic feelings that continue to warm the hearts of young and old alike.

 About The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm Grimm's Fairy Tales was first published in 1812 by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The first volume of the first edition was published in 1812, containing 86 stories; the second volume of 70 stories followed in 1815. For the second edition, two volumes were issued in 1819 and a third in 1822, totalling 170 tales. The third edition appeared in 1837; fourth edition, 1840; fifth edition, 1843; sixth edition, 1850; seventh edition, 1857. Stories were added, and also subtracted, from one edition to the next, until the seventh held 211 tales. All editions were extensively illustrated, first by Philipp Grot Johann and, after his death in 1892, by German illustrator Robert Leinweber. The first volumes were much criticized because, although they were called "Children's Tales", they were not regarded as suitable for children, both for the scholarly information included and the subject matter. Many changes through the editions – such as turning the wicked mother of the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel (shown in original Grimm stories as Hänsel and Grethel) to a stepmother, were probably made with an eye to such suitability. They removed sexual references—such as Rapunzel's innocently asking why her dress was getting tight around her belly, and thus naïvely revealing to her stepmother her pregnancy and the prince's visits—but, in many respects, violence, particularly when punishing villains, was increased.In 1825, the Brothers published their Kleine Ausgabe or "small edition", a selection of 50 tales designed for child readers. This children's version went through ten editions between 1825 and 1858.
