Being devoid of college education, he emphasized on the need for knowledge and literacy. Bradbury was famous for his novels such as ‘Fahrenheit 451’, ‘I Sing the Body Electric’, ‘The Illustrated Man’ and ‘The Martian Chronicles’. He was also the scriptwriter consultant for hit movies such as ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘It Came from Outer Space’. He went on to receive accolades such as American Academy of Arts and Letters, Daytime Emmy Award, National Medal of Arts and Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Majority of Bradbury’s works made their way into theatres, comic books and television. The New York Times designated Bradbury as the pioneer in translating modern science fiction into literary mainstream. He received the National Medal of Arts from President George W. Bush for his exceptional contribution in the field of literature.

Thomas Jefferson was one of the most important people of the American Revolution. At seventeen, he was the youngest member of the Continental Congress. Nevertheless, despite his young age, he was blessed with great political skills that made him America’s Founding Father. Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, which went on to become the most beautiful and most powerful testaments to liberty and equality in world history. It took him just seventeen days to come up with the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. In addition to being a draftsman, Jefferson’s political pursuits made him hold several important political positions. He was the first diplomat abroad, first Secretary of State, second Vice President of America under John Adams and third President of United States of America. A proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, he motivated American colonists to break free from Great Britain and form a new nation. Jeffered even authored the Statue of Virginia for Religious Freedom and was also responsible for the Louisiana Purchase. His belief in equality of mankind, liberty of nation and a free-country concept led him to come up with various quotes that have sowed the bud of nationalism and patriotism in his countrymen and even helped them believe in their individualism.

Excerpt from Under One Roof, Vol. 2 of 3: An Episode in a Family HistoryLady Arden had acknowledged to herself that Mr. Frederic Mayne was an acquisition - a compliment she generally reserved for persons of title who came to settle in the neighbourhood. Milly was fairly enchanted with him, and would have shown her approbation openly but for the wicked raillery in which George had indulged at breakfast time. The new arrival had said something to interest or amuse every member of the party; not exclusive of little Frankie, to whom he told a dreadful ghost story, of how he was visited by a short but expansive being all in white. And what do you think it was?' he inquired, after the thrilling narra tive.Well; I dare say it was only a nightmare,' said Frankie made sceptical by the other's laughing eye.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Under One Roof: An Episode in a Family HistoryTo one who comes on Halcombe on a sudden from the lone moorland it seems as though the trees had been driven into it like sheep, from the country round, and all the flowers. It lies an oasis in the desert, fresh with foliage, and cool with verdure, and bright with blossom. There is nothing new or staring in the little village even the billiard-room at the Hall, built out by its preceding tenant, has already put on a decent garb of ivy which hides its modernness and for the most part all the houses are very Old. There are no new comers, and consequently no accommodation for them is needed. When a family grows too large for its residence its surplus numbers go forth into the world without and make dwellings for them selves elsewhere.A few hundred yards from the mansion there is the Manor Farm, almost coeval with it, and besides these two there is no house Of any pretensions - the rest are cottages, all the pro perty of the tenant of the Hall, Sir Robert Arden.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
