This biography describes Shelley's life-in-thought. It dispels the popular conception of him as a vague dreamer and reveals a radical thinker passionately concerned with practical questions of politics, social abuses, and the underlying questions of good and evil, free will and determinism. The Shelley so revealed is a poet of greater range, insight, and power than has hitherto been acknowledged. Originally published in 1936.

The Cat in Grandfather's House is a children's fantasy novel by Carl Henry Grabo. A young girl is sent to spend the summer with her grandparents in a large house that has strange occurrences. Excerpt: "In Grandmother's room there were tall south windows reaching nearly to the ceiling. It must have been bright with sunshine in midday, but it was nearly evening now and the lower halves of the windows were closed with white shutters, which gave the room a very cosy appearance. In the white marble fireplace a cheerful fire was burning, and above it on the mantel was a large stuffed owl as white as the marble on which he was perched. He seemed quite alive and very wise, his great yellow eyes shining in the firelight. Hortense glanced at him now and then, and always his bright eyes seemed fixed upon her."
