Locked within the shadows of Eaglehurst Towers lies more than a house—it holds secrets that beckon the curious. mflibra.com/products/1890-sc… This rare first edition of Eaglehurst Towers by Emma Marshall charts hidden alliances, sudden dangers, and the quiet power of truth rendered in illustration as well as text. A distinctive find for lovers of Victorian intrigue and novelistic craftsmanship. #BookWithASoul #MFLIBRA #OwnAPieceOfHistory #EmmaMarshall #EaglehurstTowers #RareBooks #VictorianFiction #IllustratedEdition #CollectorsEdition

Said to be the first alien invasion story (not by me), 1892, by Canon Robert Potter of St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, Australia. The cover has little relation to the content, which is C.S.Lewis meets germ warfare. Potter was also a red-hot eugenist.

Wonderful news! And thank you for all you do for writers & readers. I was at Glasgow necropolis yesterday & v touched by a monument to a bookseller/publisher whose shop was the heart of the writerly city. People felt his loss as an earthquake. Publishers matter so much.

My 2x great grandfather William H. Bassett served in Company E of the 1st Minnesota that day--lightly wounded in arm and leg. A miracle he survived!

Remember the sacrifice of the 1st Minnesota who on this day 162 years ago was ordered by Hancock "Advance, Colonel Colvill, and take those colors! You must hold the line. You must buy me five minutes!" 262 Men of the 1st Minnesota conducted a bayonet charge against a Confederate force 5x their size and in 10 minutes suffered 215 Killed or mortally wounded & saved the Union lines from collapse and halted the Confederate advance. A suicide mission that doesn't get the same recognition as the heroic charge of Chamberlain and the 20th Maine on Little Round Top.
