Only seven years had passed since the Wright brothers' illustrious maiden flight, and the early aviation frenzy has begun. Teenagers Peggy Prescott and her brother Roy share a love of aviation that they inherited from their late father. Mr. Prescott had always dreamed of building an aeroplane that would be free of the defects of planes already invented. Peggy and Roy manage to build a plane starting with the framework their father had begun. Peggy christens it ‘The Golden Butterfly’ and she and Roy are determined to enter it in a young aviator’s contest for a prize of $5000. The Prescotts need the money desperately to save the home they share with their aunt which is about to be taken from them by the rather nasty banker, Mr. Harding. Peggy and Roy along with their best friends, Jess and Jimsy Bancroft – also sister and brother, experience many adventures – many of them while flying the Golden Butterfly. A kidnapping, missing jewels and contact with some desperate characters are just some of what the Prescotts encounter in their Long Island village.

Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published under her pen name "Currer Bell" on 16 October 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr Rochester.
The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative. The book is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism.

Cakes and Ale is a delicious satire of London literary society between the Wars. Social climber Alroy Kear is flattered when he is selected by Edward Driffield's wife to pen the official biography of her lionized novelist husband, and determined to write a bestseller. But then Kear discovers the great novelist's voluptuous muse (and unlikely first wife), Rosie. The lively, loving heroine once gave Driffield enough material to last a lifetime, but now her memory casts an embarrassing shadow over his career and respectable image. Wise, witty, deeply satisfying, Cakes and Ale is Maugham at his best.

Cakes and Ale was first published in serialised form in four issues of Harper's Bazaar (February, March, April, and June 1930). The first edition of the novel was published in September the same year by William Heinemann in London and the Garden City Publishing Company in Garden City, New York.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Published by Doubleday, Doran&Company, INC, Garden City, New York in 1931. Bound in publisher's blue cloth, with gold lettering. Slight discolouration to front board, and 2 small notes made by previous owner.

Laughing-out-loud historical novel for teenage girls is actually a diary of Eliza Jane Smith. She lives in the USA in 19th century and has one “little” problem - she can’t follow the rules. Fully aware of that, she admits:
“I am not a good girl, never was, and never will be. I can’t follow the rules, and there is no point in trying.”

Kniha Denník zlého dievčaťa je historický román z 19. storočia pre tínedžerky.
Hlavná hrdinka románu Eliza Jane Smithová má na svoju dobu veľmi netradičné názory a správanie, ktoré privádza do zúfalstva jej rodičov a celé okolie. Oddychové čítanie s rýchlym spádom zaručuje výbuchy smiechu, ale aj pozastavenia sa a zamyslenie sa nad tým, ako je možné, že táto kniha bola pôvodne vydaná v roku 1884 v Chicagu.

Humorný historický román pre dospievajúce dievčatá.

Eliza Jane Smithová nie je dobré dievča. Sama to veľmi dobre vie a otvorene priznáva: “Ja nedokážem dodržiavať pravidlá slušného správania a už ani nemá význam sa o to pokúšať. Učivo do školy viem po prvom prečítaní, a ak by som potom nevyviedla nejakú neplechu, roztrhlo by ma.”
Eliza svojím správaním privádza do zúfalstva svoju rodinu, učiteľov a celé okolie, ale naozaj je taká zlá, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá? Posúďte sami.
