"The Journeying Boy" is a beautifully crafted travelogue, a charming history of Wales, and a nostalgic look back at one man's varied and interesting life. Jon Manchip White returns to his native Wales for the first time in twenty years and discovers that time has wrought immense change to this unusual and mysterious little country in the United Kingdom. While touring the country, White recounts his childhood in Cardiff, where his fore bears had lived since Norman times, spawning an entertaining crew of rich men and ne'er-do-wells, shipowners, sea captains, buccaneers, and murderers. From Cardiff, White travels to the coal country of Glamorgan and the Black Mountains, introducing an amazing panoply of odd Welsh characters, past and present: from kings and queens, poets and writers, to warriors, coal miners, and seamen. At the heart of the story in the singular and tragic nature of the Welash race--their language, their religion, their passion for music and literature, their love of life, and their obsession with death.

This book is a republication of George Scarbrough's first book of poetry. It was first published to considerable acclaim in 1949 by E.P. Dutton in a very limited hardcover edition. The book has been out of print for over 50 years, but it is an important book that still generated much interest. The new Iris edition has a new Introduction by Rodney Jones, a publisher's not on the history of the book, and a new Author's Preface.

This is Geraldine Connolly's second book of poetry. Her first book (Food for the Winter) published by Perdue University Press was very well received and is in its second printing. Connolly is an outstanding poet with a large following. We are receiving a lot of prepublication orders for this book and we think that it will do well.

Yellin and Sherman bring to life the struggle of suffragists to earn women the right to vote which culminated with the final vote needed for ratification in the Tennessee legislature.The Perfect 36 gives voice to those who were for and against the right of women to vote with a richly illustrated volume. The authors provide a great deal of writings of those who were involved in this important movement along with pictures and cartoons to give a vivid sense of what it was like to win enfranchisement.
