Full Length, Drama Characters: 2 male, 7 female Interior Set Revived to acclaim on the West End in 2008, this psychological chamber piece explores the secret world of childhood through the prism of a dyed-in-the-wool British dowager Mrs. St. Maugham and her precocious and equally eccentric granddaughter Laurel. When enigmatic Miss Madrigal is hired as household companion and manager, the two finally meet their match. "A tantalizing, fascinating and stimulating piece of theatre."- New York Daily News "A very fresh and personal kind of play with wit, literacy, and an almost unearthly integrity." -New York Herald Tribune

"The book is one that horse lovers of every age cannot fail to enjoy."--"The New York Times ""Humorous, charming, "National Velvet" is a little masterpiece."--"Time ""Put on your not-to-be-missed list."--"The New Yorker "A butcher's daughter in a small Sussex town ends her nightly prayers with "Oh, God, give me horses, give me horses! Let me be the best rider in England!" The answer to 14-year-old Velvet Brown's plea materializes in the form of an unwanted piebald, raffled off in a village lottery, who turns out to be adept at jumping fences--exactly the sort of horse that could win the world's most famous steeplechase, the Grand National. Richly atmospheric of rural life in England between the World Wars, "National Velvet" has enchanted generations of readers since its 1935 debut. The heroine's grit and determination, backed by the support of her eccentric and loving family, offer an inspiring example of the struggles and rewards of following a dream.

(This is a book from the Junior Deluxe Editions series pub...)
This is a book from the Junior Deluxe Editions series published between 1947 and 1968 by mainly Nelson Doubleday Inc. and J.P. Lippincott Co. All of the illustrations are done by different illustrators. This book, NATIONAL VELVET, is a novel by Enid Bagnold (1889-1981), first published in 1935. It is the story of a 14-year-old girl named Velvet Brown, who rides her horse to victory in the Grand National steeplechase. The novel focuses on the ability of ordinary persons, particularly women, to accomplish great things. Velvet is a teenager in the late 1920s, living in a small English coastal village in Sussex, dreaming of one day owning many horses. She is a high-strung, shy, nervous child with a delicate stomach. The novel was made into a highly successful film version in 1944, starring twelve-year-old Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney, with Donald Crisp, Anne Revere and a young Angela Lansbury. In 2008 the film was voted the ninth best American film in the sports genre. This Junior Deluxe Edition book was illustrated by Earle B. Winslow (1884-1969), an American artist who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1921, Winslow created the "Bingville Bugle" comic strip at the Invisible Ink Studios of Woodstock, New York. It was from this popular publication that singer Bing Crosby took his nickname. He did illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Women's Home Companion, Liberty, and Outdoor Life.
