However, the family is a very dysfunctional one: Kully’s father is permanently penniless, and he drags the girl and her mother from place to place trying to borrow from friends and acquaintances, get advances on books or payments for articles. I wonder what the point is of children in Germany still having to read and write? Then my father didn’t want to be in Germany any more, because the government had locked up friends of his, and because he couldn’t write or say the things he wanted to write and say. When I was in Germany, before, I did go to school, and that’s where I learned to read and write. They cannot return to Germany because Kully’s father is obviously persona non grata because of his writing and his views. Her father is a writer, and he and her mother and Kully herself are on the move in 1930s Europe (the book was published in 1938). The story is told from the point of view of Kully, a nine-year old girl who’s leading anything but a conventional life. The book is translated by Michael Hofmann, who’s also responsible for many translations of Joseph Roth and he provides a useful afterword too. “Child of All Nations” came my way via ReadItSwapIt shortly after, but it’s taken the impetus of WIT month to get me to pick it up… It was, and I reviewed it here, and was keen to read more of her work. I first stumbled across the writing of Irmgard Keun in 2013, when I picked up her book “After Midnight” in (old) Foyles as it sounded excellent.

Sally Hemings was a young slave girl who served Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha, at the Jefferson home, Monticello. Yet, notwithstanding this extensive influence, a cloud hangs over Jefferson’s reputation–his alleged affair with Sally Hemings. His words have helped shape policies on everything from the relationship between church and state to the scope and limits of the federal government. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson has had a significant impact on America, American government, and American culture. Although the novel charts Elizabeth’s rise, in the main, it also offers Philippa Gregory to put her spin on what she thinks happened to the two young princes (which is one of those historical conundrums that has foxed historians for hundreds of years). She already had kids by her first husband (who was killed in battle) but with Edward went on to have Richard and Edward, who are the infamous ‘princes in the tower’ and Elizabeth of York, who married Henry VII, which makes her Henry VIII’s Mum. So, Elizabeth and Edward married in secret and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t go down too well. Melusina is a goddess (I think she was the inspiration for Hans Christian Anderson’s ‘The Little Mermaid’). She was also a divorced commoner, the daughter of a witch and supposedly the descendant of Melusina. She was a Lancastrian and Edward a Yorkist. This particular novel is about (and narrated by) Elizabeth Woodville, who was the wife of Edward IV. The White Queen is the first part of a new trilogy about the Plantagenets.

The Stand isn't actually particularly 'old' as far as collectible books go. In later years (through the 90's) his novels moved towards suspense and thriller, such as Dolore Claireborne, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, etc. The Stand is a post-apocalyptic tale of moral and psychological threat, written when the novelist King was in what some reviewers call his 'early' period with solidly horrific tales like Carrie, The Shining, and It. In this example from the prolific American horror and suspense author Stephen King, we can see just how some of these factors come to affect the price. Two obvious factors are its age and the popularity of its author, but also condition comes into play, the unique features of the design and the publication.
