Books with title Dusty Star

When Lilly Becker eked out with one hand that most indomitable of pianoforte selections, Rubinstein's "Melody in F," her young mind had a habit of transcending itself into some such illusory realm as this: Springtime seen lacily through a phantasmagoria of song. A very floral sward. Fountains that tossed up coloratura bubbles of sheerest aria and a sort of Greek frieze of youth attitudinized toward herself. This frieze was almost invariably composed of Estelle Foote, a successful rival in a class candidacy for the sponge-and-basin monitorship; Sydney Prothero, infallible of spitball aim; Miss Lare with her spectacles very low on her nose and a powdering of chalk dust down her black alpaca; Flora Kemble with infinitely fewer friendship bangles on her silver link bracelet; Roy Kemble, kissing her yellow, rather than yanking her brown, braids. And then suddenly, apropos of nothing except the sweet ache of Lilly's little soul, the second movement would freeze itself into a proscenium arch of music, herself, like a stalagmite, its slim center

Many of Fannie Hurst's stories are about working-class girls and guys struggling to survive in the big, crushing city. Between 1910 and the mid-1930s, Fannie Hurst was the most popular writer in America. Twenty-nine films were based on her novels and short stories. Star-Dust shows the relationship of a mother and her daughter as the central theme. Star-Dust was adapted to a movie which Hurst was displeased with.

This story follows a young Indian boy named Dusty Star as he gains the companionship of a young wolf-cub. Even for Indians who live harmoniously with nature this was a rare event. Read as Dusty Star and his wolf brother struggle against the Indian tribe for their freedom and make their way into the wide world full of hope and mystery. ---Excerpt--- As he looked, and listened, there came from the direction of Look-out Bluff a long-drawn, ringing, call. It was no coyote voice. It was deeper, more resonant in tone. Some peculiar quality in it thrilled Dusty Star to the very marrow of his bones. It was the very soul of a wolf that went walking through the wandering spaces of the night: one of the thirsty prairie voices that go hunting down the wind. Again the cry came. This time it was louder, as if the creature were drawing nearer. The boy's pulses began to beat more wildly. Then there came a long silence, in which the lodge-ears ceased to flap and the wind itself seemed to have died away. Was it going to be nothing at all, Dusty Star asked himself-nothing but a bodiless voice that went by on a windy trail?

Excerpt from Dusty StarIt was twilight in the badger-hole, and only persons accustomed to odds and ends of daylight could have seen what was going on. Not that it mattered. The only person to whom it could have mattered was a grey mother-wolf, and she did not need the light.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
