Larz and Isabel Anderson were wealthy socialites whose extraordinary lives spanned a century of American history-from the Civil War to World War II. Their world included dozens of celebrities who helped define modern culture and politics: Henry and Clover Adams, Alice Pike Barney, Cecilia Beaux, Lord and Lady Curzon, Maud Howe Elliott, Henry James, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Robert Todd Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John Singer Sargent, and William Howard Taft.In his dual biography based on six years of archival research, Stephen Moskey offers a fresh look into America's Gilded Age while focusing not just on the lives of the Andersons, but also on the intersection of wealth, celebrity, politics, gender, and race as one century ended and another began. While leading others back in time, Moskey shines a light on Larz's professional achievements as well as Isabel's emergence as an American woman of the early modern era whose words and deeds anticipated women's roles in culture and society today.Larz and Isabel Anderson shares the story of a glittering Gilded Age couple as they lived, worked, prospered, and gave back during a fascinating time in America's history.

Sun Slower, Sun Faster Meriol Trevor This is an adventure story with a difference—it is soon after World War II, and Cecil (short for Cecilia) along with her cousin, Rickie, are thrown into a series of adventures that have little to do with the England that they know. Inexplicably, they and their eccentric tutor, Dominic, find themselves in another time. With every dip into time they experience another chapter of the Church’s history and teachings. At once fun and frightening, these escapades into the past take on deeper and deeper significance. Each of them are faced with things from their own pasts which touch deeply upon who they are in the present and who they will choose to be in the uncertain but tantalizing future. Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Ages 10 & up
