Queen Mary's Dolls' House
When a dolls house has been designed by the most famous architect of his time, filled with specially commissioned objects of the very best contemporary domestic, industrial and artistic design, and presented to a queen for her personal pleasure, then surely a detailed study of it is justified. It is that story, with the remarkable photographic record of the house and its contents which accompanies it, which this book tells. The house was presented to Queen Mary in 1924 as a gesture of goodwill from the artists, craftsmen and authors most prominent at the time. It is not only a royal treasure; it shows in miniature a detailed picture of a domestic interior, and of an established way of life, in the period after World War I - and of course, unlike virtually every full-sized example of the kind, it remains entirely unmodernised. The craftsmanship visible in the contents of the forty rooms and vestibules is unparalleled, and it is presented here in David Cripps's photographs to capture an English period scene of incomparable charm.

Cora Wilson Stewart and Kentucky's Moonlight Schools
The first woman elected superintendent of schools in Rowan County, Kentucky, Cora Wilson Stewart (1875–1958) realized that a major key to overcoming the illiteracy that plagued her community was to educate adult illiterates. To combat this problem, Stewart opened up her schools to adults during moonlit evenings in the winter of 1911. The result was the creation of the Moonlight Schools, a grassroots movement dedicated to eliminating illiteracy in one generation. Following Stewart’s lead, educators across the nation began to develop similar literacy programs; within a few years, Moonlight Schools had emerged in Minnesota, South Carolina, and other states.

The arrival of the railway in 1853 confirmed picturesque Banchory as an important destination on the Royal Deeside tourist route, while in more recent years it has become an increasingly popular dormitory town for Aberdeen commuters. As well as the neat High Street, and well-loved shops such as D'Agostino's Italian ice-cream parlour, there are pictures of the Mill of Hirn, the Old Toll House at the Bridge of Feugh, an intrepid Mr Bowman diving into the Dee, and the Royal Train as it passes through the town. A horse-drawn reaper, the local lavender farm and the saw and bobbin mills illustrate other interesting aspects of the town's history.
