Excerpt from The Princess of ForgeIt falls on me to open up the whole box of the Scotchman's deeds, since Of all who were involved I am the best informed.From the beginning of the contest, I was at Forge; my hand more than once was raised in its forwarding; and round my person, it may be said, eddied and swirled and tossed the passions of Forge. Of these latter, then, this narrative will have much to do. Certain particulars it will not be pleasant to write, where the part I played was second best; but certain others, which rest on how I gave Checkmate now and again to one handsome gentleman, I shall relate with silent satisfaction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A new adventure for this tiny miracle worker. The safety of this wonderful little girl could be in peril once again. Already, in the past, the ungodly demon of greed and selfishness had reared its ugly head. This caused the near fatal accident that took the little darling away from all of them. She must go into seclusion. WHILE ON THE 'LAM' "Make sure they don't forget that in between times when she is not performing these miraculous healings, that she is still only a six year old girl. She plays like one. She giggles like one. She cries like one." "Do you know the part out of all this that frightens the dickens out of us the most?" asked her Father. "No," replied the Priest. "I don't believe that I do. Your daughter has helped so many." "Performing these miracles isn't free. It comes at a cost."

An epic poem planned almost 20 years before it was actually written, Alfred Tennyson's “The Princess” follows the narrated tale of a brave princess who managed to look past the seeming superiority of men in the era she was living in, and founded a women's university, where men were not allowed. The plot talks about a young princess who defied her heritage, seeking to change the world she was living in, and provide women with similar rights as men. In an effort to curb her initiative, the prince she was promised to since birth had entered the university with some of his friends disguised as women. They were, however, discovered, and eventually placed at the mercy of the Princess. How will she deal with this unexpected development? The poem has attracted considerable attention when it was written, in 1847, not just because it coincided with the opening of the first college for women in Britain (Queen's College in London), but also due to the speculation that the poem may have partly been inspired by the opening of Love's Labour's Lost. Those interested in the rise of feminism and its acceptance in Britain during the middle of the 19th century might find this remarkable poem to be of significant historic value, while Tennyson's engaging, sometimes humorous writing style, as well as his complex and elegant narrative will likely keep many readers interested, even if they are not accustomed with reading narrative poems.A curious fact about The Princess is that Tennyson took his time with completing it, putting forth the idea to his then future wife, Emily Sellwood, as early as 1830, but only completing it 17 years later.The conclusion of the poem sees the author offering quite an illuminating comment regarding The Princess, defining it as a blend between a comic and solemn narrative.
