en Limba Engleză Paperback
A Love Story with a musical atmosphere. A picturesque, old German virtuoso is the reverent possessor of a genuine Cremona. He consents to take as his pupil a handsome youth who proves to have an aptitude for technique, but not the soul of the artist.

"Whose clothes?" asked Mrs. Irving, taken out of her reverie. "That girl's. She had on a green dress, and some yellow velvet in her hair. Her eyes are purple." "Violet, you mean, dear. Did you notice that?" "Of course--don't I notice everything? Come, mother; I'll race you to the top of the hill." Once again her objections were of no avail.

Notă biografică

Myrtle Reed was an American novelist, poet, journalist, and philanthropist who born on September 27, 1874. Under the pen name Olive Green, she released a number of best-selling books as well as a collection of cookbooks. She was the daughter of minister Hiram von Reed and writer Elizabeth Armstrong Reed. In 1874, she received her diploma from Chicago's West Division High School. James Sydney McCullough, a young Irish Canadian who was in charge of editing a student newspaper, was a frequent correspondent. In her Chicago apartment, she overdosed on sleeping powder on August 17, 1911, when she was 36 years old. The day after she committed herself, her note to her maid, Annie Larsen, was released. During her funeral, Paradise Flat, the house where she passed away, was broken into. Several de luxe or autographed, slipcase, limited-edition publications authored by the deceased were among the stolen goods.
