    Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives. In Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh's daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of "Winged Pharaoh" for ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a "Winged Pharaoh" - both priestess and Pharaoh - and leads her country with enlightenment. The most famous of Joan Grant's "Far Memory" novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life. Upon Winged Pharaoh's original publication in 1937, the New York Times called it "an unusual book that shines with fire."

Edith's father died before her fourth birthday and her sister Mary's ill health meant the family travelled around for several years, living at various locations in Britain, France, Spain and Germany. When Edith was 17 the family settled back in London, Mary having died in 1871, and the following year she met bank clerk Hubert Bland. In April 1880, then 7 months pregnant, she married Bland but the marriage proved tempestuous with Edith later adopting two of Bland's children with her former friend, Alice Hoatson. Edith's first published works were poems, with 'Under the Trees' appearing in Good Words magazine in March 1871, but she later established herself as an accomplished children's author, producing several series which have remained popular up to the present day. The best known of her children's books are The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1899), the first in her series about the Bastable children, and the three titles from the Psammead series: Five Children and It (1902), The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904), and The Story of the Amulet (1906). However, the most famous of all is her stand alone children's novel The Railway Children (1906), which has been adapted for film several times, most notably the 1970 version. Edith also wrote fiction for adults, including both novels and story collections. Grim Tales is a selection of her horror stories first published together in book form 1893, having previously appeared in various journals such as Longman's Magazine, Temple Bar, and Argosy. The seven stories included are: The Ebony Frame, John Charrington's Wedding, Uncle Abraham's Romance, The Mystery of the Semi-Detached, From the Dead, Man-Size in Marble, and The Mass for the Dead.

    In Grimoires: A History of Magic Books, Owen Davies illuminates the many fascinating forms these recondite books have taken and exactly what these books held. At their most benign, these repositories of forbidden knowledge revealed how to make powerful talismans and protective amulets, and provided charms and conjurations for healing illness, finding love, and warding off evil. But other books promised the power to control innocent victims, even to call up the devil. Davies traces the history of this remarkably resilient and adaptable genre, from the ancient Middle East to modern America, offering a new perspective on the fundamental developments of western civilization over the past two thousand years. Grimoires shows the influence magic and magical writing has had on the cultures of the world, richly demonstrating the role they have played in the spread of Christianity, the growth of literacy, and the influence of western traditions from colonial times to the present.
