Often scorned by neighbors for her family's erratic and eccentric behavior--such as her father Johnny's taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy's habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce--no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans' life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans' daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness.

Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years, he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, \u003cb\u003eCup of Gold\u003c\/b\u003e (1929).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, \u003cb\u003eThe Pastures of Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e (1932) and \u003cb\u003eTo a God Unknown\u003c\/b\u003e (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in \u003cb\u003eThe Long Valley\u003c\/b\u003e (1938). Popular success and financial security came only with \u003cb\u003eTortilla Flat \u003c\/b\u003e(1935), stories about Monterey's paisanos. A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly.

At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe was introduced to the world of children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends.

Born in Portland, Maine, and educated at Bowdoin College, Longfellow's ambition was always to become a writer; but until mid-life his first profession was the teaching rather than the production of literature, at his alma mater (1829-35) and then at Harvard (1836-54). His teaching career was punctuated by two extended study-tours of Europe, during which Longfellow made himself fluent in all the major Romance and Germanic languages. Thanks to a fortunate marriage and the growing popularity of his work, from his mid-thirties onwards Longfellow, ensconced in a comfortable Cambridge mansion, was able to devote an increasingly large fraction of his energies to the long narrative historical and mythic poems that made him a household word, especially \u003cb\u003eEvangeline\u003c\/b\u003e (1847), \u003cb\u003eThe Song of Hiawatha\u003c\/b\u003e (1855), \u003cb\u003eThe Courtship of Miles Standish\u003c\/b\u003e (1858), and \u003cb\u003eTales of a Wayside Inn\u003c\/b\u003e (1863, 1872, 1873). Versatile as well as prolific, Longfellow also won fame as a writer of short ballads and lyrics, and experimented in the essay, the short story, the novel, and the verse drama. Taken as a whole, Longfellow's writings show a breadth of literary learning, an understanding of western languages and cultures, unmatched by any American writer of his time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39821944815731,"sku":"9780140556124","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5961e90c-aa37-4af1-8093-3a372e51aef2.jpg?v=1644518061"},{"product_id":"my-side-of-the-mountain-9780141312422","title":"My Side of the Mountain","description":"Should appeal to all rugged individualists who dream of escape to the forest.\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods--all by himself.

After frequenting African American-centric gatherings together in Harlem, Clare's interest in Irene turns into a homoerotic longing for Irene's black identity that she abandoned and can never embrace again, and she is forced to grapple with her decision to pass for white in a way that is both tragic and telling.

Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years, he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, \u003ci\u003eCup of Gold\u003c\/i\u003e (1929).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, \u003ci\u003eThe Pastures of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e (1932) and \u003ci\u003eTo a God Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Long Valley\u003c\/i\u003e (1938).
