Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall (usually credited as H. E. Marshall, 9 August 1867 – 19 September 1941) was a British author, particularly well known for her works of popular national history for children. She was born in Bo'ness, Scotland, and her father was John Marshall JP, an earthenware manufacturer. She was educated at a girls' boarding school called Laurel Bank, in Melrose. Between 1901 and 1904 she was the superintendent of a hall of residence for female students at the University of Glasgow, but, otherwise, she appears to have made her living throughout her life by writing. She never married. As is made clear by the Prefaces of her books from time to time, she travelled extensively after 1904, including to Melbourne, California and China, although her obituary in The Times stated that she spent most of her life in Oxford and in London, where she died.

Has There Ever Been A Time When No Stories Were Told? Has There Ever Been A People Who Did Not Care To Listen? I Think Not When We Were Little, Before We Could Read For Ourselves, Did We Not Gather Eagerly Round Father Or Mother, Friend Or Nurse, At The Promise Of A Story? When We Grew Older, What Happy Hours Did We Not Spend With Our Books How The Printed words Made Us Forget The World In which We Live, And Carried us Away To A Wonderland, "Where Waters Gushed and Fruit Trees Grew And Flowers Put Forth A Fairer Hue, And Everything was Strange And New; The Sparrows Were Brighter Than Peacocks Here, And Their Dogs Outran Our Fallow Deer, And Honey Bees Had Lost Their Stings, And Horses Were Born With Eagles' Wings " Robert Browning And As It Is With Us, So It Is With A Nation, With A People In The Dim, Far-Off Times When Our Forefathers Were Wild, Naked Savages, They Had No Books Like Ourselves, When We Were Tiny, They Could Neither Read Nor Write But Do You Think That They Had No Stories? Oh, Yes! We May Be Sure That When The Day'S Work Was Done, When The Fight Or The Chase Was Over, They Gathered round The Wood Fire And Listened to The Tales Of The Story-Teller [mehr]

Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse on the Yorkshire moors where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect that jealousy and vengefulness have, both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities. Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature. When first published it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.

The Life of Samuel Johnson is a biography of Dr. Samuel Johnson written by James Boswell. It is regarded as an important stage in the development of the modern genre of biography; many have claimed it as the greatest biography written in English.
