Books with author Sandy Olive

This book was digitized and reprinted from the collections of the University of California Libraries. It was produced from digital images created through the libraries’ mass digitization efforts. The digital images were cleaned and prepared for printing through automated processes. Despite the cleaning process, occasional flaws may still be present that were part of the original work itself, or introduced during digitization. This book and hundreds of thousands of others can be found online in the HathiTrust Digital Library at www.hathitrust.org.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from The Ginger-JarIn a small bed that was a series of humps and bumps, but which nevertheless did not seem to trouble the depth of her young repose in the very least, a girl lay sleeping, her dark brown hair tumbling over the pillow, one bare arm flung over the coverlet, part of a white and shapely leg revealed by the slipping of the same - a girl who; distinctly at variance with the drab and dingy bedroom, was exceedingly good to look upon.When she was asleep was about the only time Patsy's vivacious features were ever completely in repose. In sleep they took on a happy aspect of serenity that was really the keynote to a peculiarly buoyant temperament a temperament not Without depth, of extraordinary courage in times of stress and of superabundant high spirits for every other day in the week. Patsy was charming to behold, awake. She was also - and this is very much more rare - equally beautiful to gaze upon asleep.A beam of sunlight streaming in through the window fell full upon her face, revealing the fine grain of a per feet complexion, which neither the cheap face-powder she used so lavishly by day nor nineteen years of a hand to-mouth existence, ten of them spent upon the stage, had done anything to impair.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

London. Very hot. In a small bed that was a series of humps and bumps, but which nevertheless did not seem to trouble the depth of her young repose in the very least, a girl lay sleeping, her dark brown hair tumbling over the pillow, one bare arm flung over the coverlet, part of a white and shapely leg revealed by the slipping of the same a girl who, distinctly at variance with the drab and dingy bedroom, was exceedingly good to look upon. When she was asleep was about the only time Patsy svivacious features were ever completely in repose. In sleep they took on a happy aspect of serenity that was really the keynote to a peculiarly buoyant temperament a temperament not without depth, of extraordinary courage in times of stress and of superabundant high spirits for every other day in the week. Patsy was charming to behold, awake. She was also and this is very much more rare equally beautiful to gaze upon asleep. A beam of sunlight streaming in through the window fell full upon her face, revealing the fine grain of a perfect complexion, which neither the cheap face-powder she used so lavishly by day nor nineteen years of a handto-mouth existence, ten of them spent upon the stage, had done anything to impair. She slumbered on. The hot stream of sunlight did not disturb her, neither did the penetrating cries of a ragand-bone merchant vociferously pursuing his calling in the street.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
