Her adventure begins when her wish comes true, and she is free to go where she wants. Follow Molly's delightful escapades as she explores the world beyond her maple grove. Share in her adventures as she learns valuable lessons about family and the need for 'roots'; how friendships grow; the importance of conservation to her environment; and much more. THE FIRST TALKING EBOOK FOR CHILDREN: Molly The Tend Toed Tree is a first of a kind talking ebook because it reads itself using a genuine human voice. It offers two narrated play modes: story time and selective practice. The story time mode is a relaxing way for parents and children to experience the book together. Afterwards, children can use the self-paced, selective practice mode to independently improve their reading and comprehension skills.

Falling for the Professor... All the village assumed that Margo Pearson was to marry George, but unexpectedly meeting Professor Gijs van Kessel made her pause for thought. But being a plain, practical girl, Margo knew the professor was most unlikely to look her way. It took a tragic accident to bring an offer of marriage--from the professor. It was a practical proposal, but as Margo was taken into the bosom of his family over Christmas in Holland, she did wonder whether he might, someday, return her love....

From GOODREADS: "In her first novel written after the Great War, the death of her husband, and her embarkation on a rather unconventional new life, E H Young tells the story of four Misses Mallett. There are two sisters in late middle age, Caroline and Sophia Mallett. They live in a large, beautiful and comfortable home that had been left to them by their father, the Colonel; together with their much younger half-sister, Rose Mallet, the child of the Colonel’s second marriage. Caroline is delighted with their situation, and she explains to their niece: ‘The Malletts don’t marry, Henrietta. Look at us, as happy as the day is long, with all the fun and none of the trouble. We’ve been terrible flirts, Sophia and I. Rose is different, but at least she hasn’t married. The three Miss Malletts of Nelson Lodge! Now there are four of us, and you must keep up our reputation.’ Henrietta was the fourth Miss Mallett, the daughter of the Colonel’s disinherited son, who had come to live with her aunts after her mother’s death. She had lived a very different life, she had an independent spirit, and she wanted to make her own decisions and not be told that she must follow a particular traditions. She would learn that things were not quite as simple and straightforward as Caroline suggested."
