"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me." So begins one of the most beloved hymns of all time. This is the autobiography of the man who penned those words. John Newton, the self-proclaimed "wretch," was an active slave trader for several years until, on a homeward voyage through a violent storm, he experienced what he was later to refer to as his "great deliverance." He tells of the dramatic, real-life events that led him from sin and bondage to a life transformed by God's grace.
"Out of the Depths provides a beautiful picture of the "'amazing grace' Newton so eloquently described in his famous song."-Singing News

William Butler Yeats, the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is not only one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but one of the most widely read. The landscape, myths, legends, and folklore of his homeland lie at the heart of his poetic imagination, and the unique musicality of Ireland adds to the richness of his verse. But the themes of his poetry are universal and timeless: the conflict between life and death, love and hate, and the meaning of man's existence in an imperfect world.
This collection includes such favorites as "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and "When You Are Old," as well as two of his longer narrative works, "The Old Age of Queen Maeve" and "Baile and Aillinn." It traces the poet's artistry from his early days as a dreamy, late-romantic poet into one of the most individual and visionary voices of twentieth-century verse.

The daily progress of the expedition is recorded in an immensely vivid and personal narrative.

Tales for a Winter's Night brings together eight Arthur Conan Doyle mystery classics that originally appeared in The Strand between July 1898 and January 1899. When the stories were first gathered into one volume in 1908, the book was titled Round the Fire Stories because the author intended they be read ideally "'round the fire" on a winter's night. According to Barzun and Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, "As one reads "˜The Man with the Watches,' "˜The Lost Special,' "˜The Jew's Breastplate,' "˜The Black Doctor,' and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of storytelling. . . . The stories are worth reading even around a radiator."
