The Prayers of Jane Austen
edited by Terry Glaspey
#UM2972
Hardcover, 80 pages; 2015
$9.99
Give us a thankful sense of the blessings in which we live, of the many
comforts of our lot; that we may not deserve to lose them by discontent
or indifference.
Jane Austen is famous for her sparkling novels focused on the mores
of nineteenth-century English society, and yet readers often forget
that she also was the daughter of a pastor, a woman of deep faith who
penned prayers as well as novels, short stories, and insightful personal
letters. Three of Austen’s surviving prayers are collected in this pocket-
sized volume, along with a brief essay about how her faith affected her
fiction. Bound in cobalt cloth with gilded flourishes and illustrated with
delicate pen-and-ink sketches from the British Library’s collections, it’s a
thoughtful little gift for the faithful reader in your life.

Learning a new recipe can be daunting—
especially when you have children in the
house who’d much rather eat chicken nuggets and French fries for
dinner for the third night in a row. Kids are much more likely to try
new things if they’ve had a hand in making them, and these handy
“family cookbooks” make fresh, worldly cooking fun for all ages!
These bilingual books feature simple versions of many international
dishes—including vichyssoise, bruschetta, and paella—so you can
cook a healthy, flavorful meal
and
learn some foreign words and
phrases along the way, even if you’re cooking solo. Choose from
Let’s Cook French
,
Let’s Cook
Italian
, or
Let’s Cook Spanish
—or snag all three for a deliciously diverse kitchen!

If you think you could spend weeks wandering London, Paris, or
Barcelona without visiting the same place twice…you’re right! Because
beyond the usual haunts frequented by tourists lie off-the-beaten-path
restaurants, shops, cultural sites, and other urban jewels that rarely
make it into travel guides. But with these wonderful little books
in hand, you can explore some of Europe’s great cities like a true
native, privy to the best bookshops, antique shops, made-to-measure
boutiques, unexpected views, secret passageways, charming small museums,
splendid libraries, kid-friendly adventures…and, of course, the best bistros, chocolate shops,
tearooms, wine bars, and more. Each entry includes a short informative description, along with
location information and handy city maps. These unique city guides are
“intimate, personal,
based on experience and surprising”—
absolute musts for the world traveler you know!
