The Story of Opal is a book by Opal Whiteley. Essentially the journal of an unusually creative girl, who grew up in logging camp sites but alleged to be of noble descent, and took the literary world by storm.
The Story of Opal
None
Play of Colors
In 1897, a baby girl was born to a poor lumberjack and his wife. She was named Opal Whiteley. In 1920, she wrote a book alleging she was the victim of an orchestrated kidnapping. In 1923, the media frenzy forced her to flee the country. In 1992, she was buried in London, England...under two different names. What unraveled in between is a true story filled with intrigue, tragedy and a shocking conclusion.
Opal
A lyrical, lovely, and deeply touching adaptation of an authentic journal kept by an orphaned six-year-old girl--later believed to be a French princess--living in an Oregon lumber camp at the turn of the century. 24 black-and-white photographs.
Opal Whiteley's Beginning and Hoops and Hoopla
The New York Yankees don't call themselves the "Bronx Bombers" for nothing. And though Babe Ruth did not invent the home run, he did indeed popularize it and make it seem less vulgar. New York Yankees Home Run Almanac presents a month-by-month tally of historic, important, unusual, or titanic home runs, hit mostly by Yankees (or players who hit them at Yankees ballparks). It covers everyone from Ruth to Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge, and many more pinstripe players, past and present, in an easy-to-read format. Some of the many dingers featured include: Graig Nettles's home run on Opening Day 1974, when the Yankees called Shea Stadium home Jorge Posada's and Bernie Williams's switch-hit home runs during the same game in 2000 Pitcher Whitey Ford's third and final home run of his career Aaron Judge's 50th home run of the season, a rookie record And many more!
Only Opal
Born around the turn of the century, Opal Whiteley spent her childhood on the American Western frontier. Through these excerpts from her diary, readers are given a taste of the struggle and despair as well as the faith and joy felt in each moment of her life. An IRA Teacher's Choice Book. 6/97.
The Flower of Stars
Self-published book of poems by a young author whose childhood diary had caused a sensation three years earlier upon its publication in the Atlantic Monthly magazine in spring 1920, and subsequently as a book. Whiteley's childhood record of growing up in the woods in a logging town in Oregon was painstakingly pieced back together from its torn fragments and is still controversial as to its true origins. Shortly after publication, it was claimed that she wrote the diary as an adult, not a child, and it was branded a hoax. She died in a mental hospital in London in 1992 where she had been institutionalized since 1948.
