The Littlest Witch
The littlest witch tries to hide the fact that she is good, but it shines through her actions
Leonarde’s Ghost
For seven weeks in late spring and early summer of 1628, a ghost haunted the modest dwelling of Huguette Roy and her husband in the small city of Dole in the Holy Roman Empire near the French border. Before and after giving birth to her third child, Huguette received visits twice daily from a young woman clothed in white who cleaned her house, eased her pains, and tended her newborn son. Only Huguette could see this apparition, and the haunting aroused curiosity and fear throughout her community. Soon after the spirit departed, a young man from Dole prepared a manuscript in colloquial French to recount Huguette’s experiences, the ghost’s demands, and the event’s orthodoxy. Translators Edwards and Sutch present this primary source in English to allow modern readers to view the spirituality, piety, and daily lives of ordinary people in early modern Europe.

The Sixties and Beyond
In the decades following the Second World War, North America and Western Europe experienced widespread secularization and dechristianization; many scholars have pinpointed the 1960s as a pivotally important period in this decline. The Sixties and Beyond examines the scope and significance of dechristianization in the western world between 1945 and 2000. A thematically wide-ranging and interdisciplinary collection, The Sixties and Beyond uses a framework that compares the social and cultural experiences of North America and Western Europe during this period. The internationally based contributors examine the dynamic place of Christianity in both private lives and public discourses and practices by assessing issues such as gender relations, family life, religious education, the changing relationship of church and state, and the internal dynamics of religious organizations. The Sixties and Beyond is an excellent contribution to the burgeoning scholarship on the 1960s as well as to the history of Christianity in the western world.
Fade to White

In Fade to White, Nichols shares his personal and family history against the backdrop of his fathers disappearance and how it affected every aspect of his life. For years, no one knew if Nichols father was dead or alive. This memoir follows Nichols upbringing in the small, isolated colored world of the Bronx in the 1940s and 1950s, to medical school abroad, to his long-running medical practice and helping pediatric patients, to advocating and supporting his daughters. Honest and poignant, Fade to White narrates his life story with its ups and downs and triumphs and challenges. It tells of one familys coming togetheran epilogue of one mans search for his father.
