THE ART & POETRY OF FLORENCE SUSAN HARRISON: A Pictorial Bibliography is an essential reference tool for both researchers and collectors. It provides a comprehensive listing of all the books, annuals, and even songs that carried her original images and verses. Many of these original sources are quickly disappearing. Others are unknown or overlooked by collectors. This bibliography does not list modern books that may re-use portions of her work. Sources are arranged by date, with any available picture of the book cover, and a brief list of the images, poems, or verse-stories by Harrison that are included. A separate section of the bibliography re-groups all of the cover images (with date) into categories according to publisher and series for the benefit of collectors and scholars.

This is the story of a girl's school that has lasted over 200 years from its start on the old parade ground of a ruined castle's bailey in Folkestone, to its current existence on the Isle of Wight. Its name has changed from Mrs. Cullen's Establishment (a "Dame's School) to Parade House Academy, to Rockhill, to the Anglo-Continental School, and now to Upper Chine. Though its name and location have changed, it has proven to be an enduring institution. Fourth in the Florence Harrison series, this book describes the school where Florence lived as a child and the impact the school had on her family and her career. Illustrated with numerous color pictures and maps.

Insights into Mexico's historical development comes through a study of ten traditional costumes found on souvenir dolls. The dolls were made by the Muñecos Carselle and Poveda companies during the 1940's-1960's. The costumes span Mexico's history from the Colonial period to the 1960's. Each part of the dolls' costumes is identified. Stories, songs, and events associated with each costume is accompanied by numerous colored pictures, diagrams, and black and white photos showing actual clothing. These are some of the most often seen trajes tipicos (traditional costumes) found in Mexico. The dolls are a time capsule preserving distinctive clothing that is now disappearing.
