Reproduction of the original: Roland Graeme: Knight by Agnes Maule Machar
Roland Graeme is a collection of love stories that involve the good-hearted, Christian Nora Blanchard and hardworking unionist Roland Graeme. Agnes Maule Machar writes passionately about labor rights in the 1890s. Excerpt: "The Reverend Cecil Chillingworth sat in his quiet study, absorbed in the preparation of his next Sunday evening's discourse. It was to be one of those powerful pulpit "efforts"—so comprehensive in its grasp, so catholic in its spirit, so suggestive in its teachings—for which Mr. Chillingworth, to quote the Minton Minerva, "was deservedly famous."

In the early hours of an autumn day in 1947, a truck laden with German prisoners-of-war and their English guards approached a level crossing in a sleepy Yorkshire village. At the same moment, an express train was thundering towards the crossing. For some inexplicable reason, with the train just yards away, the soldier behind the wheel of the truck did not stop. Instead he pressed the accelerator pedal… The scene was set for a terrible tragedy - one which was largely forgotten, until author Richard Jones began to investigate the story 60 years later.
Drawing on 15 years of intensive research and unprecedented access to previously unpublished documents, this vibrant book brings to life one of the 20th century's most fascinating women.
