"A newspaperman once wrote of Lucile Mc Donald, "She can secure and absorb more information per minute than any other newspaper representative we have ever met in half a century." A remarkably frank, refreshing reminiscence, A Foot in the Door details the life and work of a true journalistic pioneer. At a time when a woman's role in newspapers was limited mostly to the society page, Mc Donald began a remarkable seventy-five-year career as a noted journalist, historian, and author of thirty-four books." "A Foot in the Door is not only the story of a pioneering American woman journalist, it is also the tale of a great adventure to South America, the Middle East, Alaska, and virtually every outback locale in the Pacific Northwest, written by a woman who allowed no obstacle to stand in the way of finding a good story."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Jewels and Gems is a children s book written with the aim of entertaining and inspiring children in the enchanting world of gems and precious stones. A wonderful book full of lovely pictures and interesting text, Jewels and Gems is a great alternative to normal bedtime reading and constitutes a wonderful addition to any collection of antiquarian children s literature. Lucile Saunders McDonald (1898 - 1992) was journalist, historian and author of children's books, most famous for Dick and the Spice Cupboard and The Giant with Four Arms. She was the first woman on a New York City writing desk and the first woman copy editor in the Pacific Northwest, who co-founded the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. This scarce antiquarian book has been chosen for modern republican due to its literary value, and is republished here with pride complete with a new introduction to the topic."
