Details
When seven-year-old Norah's life is upended by the death of her mother, she's sent to the Grange to live with her icy Aunt Rose, absent Uncle John, and four casually cruel cousins. Thank goodness for her (not quite literally) Aunt Poll, who takes Norah under her prickly-but-kind wing—but even with her straightforward guidance, it won’t be easy to fit into this family. Norah must learn to navigate her new circumstances, relying on her crutches to get about and her powers of observation and intuition to unravel the secrets that torment the inhabitants of the Grange.
But are some secrets better left buried? Or will doors open for Norah when family dysfunction sees the light of day?
Materials + Care
Feel free to judge these books by their covers. And their French flaps. And their high-quality Munken paper. We put a lot of effort and time into making the physical books live up to the incredible stories inside them.
With that said, these books should last a really, really, really long time. Whether you're an annotator and page dog-earrer, or if you prefer your books pristine, our editions were crafted with each reader in mind. The spines lay completely flat without breaking so they'll look good on your shelf for years to come.
Each book comes hand-wrapped by one of our team members (it is usually Pip, she is the best at it.)
Shipping + Returns
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.
publisher's note
The books we reprint are from another time and place. Some may contain language, social sensibilities, and racial depictions that are rightly jarring and objectionable, even abhorrent, to the modern reader, as they surely should have been to the readers and writers of the past.
While this note is not intended to serve as a trigger warning, it recognizes that we will not enter these pages equally and that our individual experiences will give rise to different interpretations of and unique interactions with the text. Real engagement is always emotional, deeply personal, and potentially painful.
We trust that you, dear Reader, come to these pages as practiced holders of nuance, ready to sit with the difficult questions that arise from challenging thoughts and texts. It is our sincere hope that we, as a thoughtful reading community, are inspired to engage with one another with curiosity, courage, and respect.
