In the late nineteenth century, some of the wealthiest families in America joined together to form the Jekyll Island Club. The Club operated for 54 years, from 1888 until 1942, and attracted an elite membership. The families of Cyrus McCormick, J.P. Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, and William Vanderbilt were among those who enjoyed the leisurely pace and recreational adventure of the Georgia coast. The Jekyll Island Club includes images of the architecture, clothing, transportation, and natural beauty unique to the island. This exquisite collection is sure to rekindle awe and wonder in the hearts o

A beautifully illustrated edition of Colour Schemes for the Flower Garden, one of the most influential gardening books of the 20th century. With an approach as fresh and relevant now as when it first appeared in 1908, this book, by the great garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, is an eloquent expression of her painterly ideas on colour, and takes the form of an inspiring and instructive tour of her own garden at Munstead Wood. Beautiful and delicate illustrations of some of Gertrude Jekyll’s favourite plants augment full-color interpretations of her planting plans to convey an instant impres

This is a selection of 200 of the best articles and other writings by Gertrude Jekyll, who ’changed the face of England more than any save the Creator himself and, perhaps, Capability Brown’. Although Miss Jekyll designed around 400 gardens, none remains as she intended and few exist today in any recognizable form. Her enduring influence has been achieved not through her spade but through her pen. She published 15 books and contributed well over a thousand articles, notes and letters to numerous magazines and newspapers. But although the books are well known, until now, all but a h

How did a group of private bankers devise, promote and ramrod a plan through Congress to take over the money and credit of the United States at a time when anti-trust laws were being invoked to curb corporate monopolies? Answer. With money, foreign connections, inside Congressional help, propaganda and a gullible president who believed their scheme to set up the Federal Reserve System was for the welfare of the United States. That’s what his book is about. The story begins late in the first decade of the 20th Century and involves a secret and successful scam that would make any Hollywood

This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader’s notes to help the modern reader contend with Stevenson’s language and themes. Originally published in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde became an immediate sensation with the public, which was thoroughly fascinated by the book’s study of guilt, moral responsibility, and horror. Stevenson carefully weaves a detective story with the quest for human perfection gone awry to construct a tale that has haunted readers for more than a century.

The English gardens of Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) have influenced good garden design throughout the world. While many of Jekyll’s gardens and original plantings have disappeared, and only a handful of her plans are well-known, thousands survive in archives. Richard Bisgrove has selected a representative sample from this remarkable collection, and the designs-including plans for Jekyll’s three American gardens as well as for many of her English gardens-have been redrawn by an accomplished watercolorist and relabeled to make them more accessible to the nonspecialist. Together they p

Author Babs McDonald loves living near Jekyll Island in Georgia. In Remember Jekyll Island, she looks at what has happened since this piece of public land was put into the hands of a private corporation. Over 10,000 people nationwide have expressed outrage over the development plans for Jekyll Island, yet this supposedly public park continues to be under the gun for development by private corporations. Is there a conspiracy behind this development? Why do thousands of concerned citizens get nowhere in their fight to protect this land, while private corporations get everything they want? Is
