Louisa May Alcott, who is often referred to as one of the great writers of children's literature, was famous

for her homely books about life in America in the 19th Century. Her most celebrated novels featured the

March family starting with Little Women which was published in 1868

and followed by Little Men, Good Wives and Jo's Boys.

Elizabeth Barrett Browing came from a large extremely wealthy famialy
immortalised in the movie starring Charles Laughton entitled the
Barretts of Wimpole Street. Elizabeth Barrett Browing was the sickly
child of her many brothers and sisters and the favourite of her strict
father. Elizabeth spent much of her time in her room and began to write
poetry as she was unable to leave the house. Her main source of company
was her dog, Flush and her poem dedicated to the dog is featured
above.Her interest in poetry lead to her reading some of the works of
Robert Browning. They eventually met and fell in love.Her father
was much against the marriage but Robert and Elizabeth still decided to
marry.

Some of Landau Cheryl 's favorite quotes
Where fat and strange-eyed fish that never saw

the outer deep, broad halls of sapphire light,

glut in the city's draught each nameless maw:

- and there, wide-eyed unto the soulless night,

O'er the waters blue,

I'm floating away,

To dance by the shore

With the foam and spray.

It is to suffer this,

And feel but half, and feebly, what we feel:

Deep in our hidden heart

Festers the dull remembrance of a change,

But no emotion none.

Love poems that Miss Cheryl Landau likes
the silence, wanly prinkt

with forms of lingering notes,

inhabits, close. distinct;

Methinks a drown'd maid's face might fitly show

what we have slain, a life that had been free,

clean, large, nor thus tormented - even so

as are the skies, the salt winds and the sea.

Be not like Bubble,

Headstrong, rude, and vain,

Seeking by violence

Your object to gain;
