Goodbye to All That
By:"Robert Graves"
Published on 2000-09-28 by Penguin UK
In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing 'never to make England my home again'. This is his superb account of his life up until that 'bitter leave-taking': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him throughout his life. It also contains memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets, including Siegfried Sassoon and Thomas Hardy, and covers his increasingly unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson. Goodbye to All That, with its vivid, harrowing descriptions of the Western Front, is a classic war document, and also has immense value as one of the most candid self-portraits of an artist ever written. Includes illustrations and explanatory footnotes.

On the Island
By:"Tracey Garvis Graves"
Published on 2012-06-07 by Penguin
Two people stranded on an island struggle to survive—and slowly fall in love—in the runaway New York Times bestseller from the author of Covet. Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher desperately in need of adventure. Worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring sixteen-year-old T.J. T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. His cancer is in remission and he wants to get back to his normal life. But his parents are insisting he spend the summer in the Maldives catching up on all the school he missed last year. Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahan’s summer home, and as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens. Their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover that they’re stranded on an uninhabited island. At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man. From the Trade Paperback edition.

THE SWAN the DEMON and the WARRIOR
By:"Cyril A. Peters"
Published on 2013-08-31 by Xlibris Corporation
The year was 793 A.D., the day being the eight of the first month of that year. “They dismembered his body into pieces,” the skin clad man sobbed. “The murderers dragged and carried every piece of him on the frozen ice, to the centre of the lake. They broke the ice and created a hole.” He howled in despair. “They threw his remains under the ice and into the waters of the dark and forbidding lake.” “I implore, O Almighty Creator,” cried the eternal queen, “for revenge and seek nothing else...” “...Astrid is no more. Henceforth, my daughter, you will be known as Jasmine!” Gullvieg revealed. “Forever you shall remain a youthful, beautiful bloom; though one that conceals within it the wrath of a vengeful god.”

This places her in a difficult situation at a young age, because when her time comes to rule, she will have to make decisions with drastic consequences that could turn her own family against her and threaten the stability of the land. This is the story of how a remarkable young princess with extraordinary wisdom finds herself at odds with the establishment and way things have always been.
