Chess Pieces:- English Upright Chess Sets in Club Sizes popularly retailed in chess shops around the early 19th century. Our reproduction is based on an upright set retailed by William Leuchars of London. (Pictures courtesy www.chessantiquesonline.com)
The design is almost 200 years old and predates the now-traditional Staunton design.
The Northern Upright (or Edinburgh) chess set was a popular precursor of the Staunton pattern and is thought to have partly inspired the first Staunton design.
The craftsmanship of all the chess pieces is quite extraordinary. Each piece is lovingly hand-carved and hand-turned by experienced master artisans with years of experience crafting luxury chessmen.
If you love chess, you deserve to pamper yourself with this exquisite reproduction.

... into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse
Format: Hardcover
Over the past year I have made a foray into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse, cultural infused tale of two girls, Our main character, Sam a Chinese, newly orphaned girl, teams up with Annamae (Andy), an African-America, runaway slave. Together they flee St. Joe, Missouri disguised as boys and begin on the Oregon Trail. They soon join three cowboys who help keep them safe and teach them how to survive.
I think what I loved most about this book is how Lee was able to incorporate Sam's Chinese heritage and beliefs along with Andy's and intertwine all it beautifully into this richly told story. Sam's and Andy's friendship was also a highlight of the book. It caused for some great moments, some funny, many heartfelt, and I was glad to see such a positive example of female friendship in a YA novel.
Although "girl disguised as boy" seem to be a common theme in YA westerns I did not mind it here and thought Sam's inner thoughts about the challenges of pretending to be a boy were hilarious.
I think Lee struck the perfect balance between an adventure story, a coming of age tale, and portrait of what life could be like for minorities and females in the 1800s

A great BeeHive Award Winner!
Format: Kindle
This is a BeeHive Award winner for young adults! What a great read! It is a page turner, that's for sure. Two runaways--a slave and a Chinese girl--take to the trail West during the big Gold Rush. They meet up and join three young men traveling West to seek their fortunes. The catch? The girls are disguised as "boys!" The adventures begin! Fast paced book. Highly recommend it for young adults, but I really enjoyed it, too. Written well and in all situations, the characters were believable! I did make some predictions that, in fact, came true. Didn't ruin the story for me at all--only heightened my anticipation! Great read!

I absolutely loved everything about this story
Format: Kindle
I absolutely loved everything about this story. At first I was unsure of the time period, I've never been a huge western fan, but I'm so glad I picked this up. Not only were the historical details interesting, but the characters were timeless. Sammy was such a beautiful, courageous, complex main character, I couldn't help but root for her. The memories of her father and her connection to him through music was heartbreaking, and her heritage touched every facet of her life on the run. The family she formed with the cowboys and Andy was so genuine and real, and made me laugh in unexpected places. The action was fast paced and something was always happening, so it was hard to put down. Highly recommend this story for anyone who's a fan of adventure, strong female relationships, and romance. A++
