Stories From the Brownies Book is a new collection of tales celebrating African American children’s literature and the groundbreaking work of the N.A.A.C.P. Originally conceived by W.E.B. DuBois, Jessie Redmon Fauset, and Augustus Granville Dill, The Brownies Book was a one-of-a-kind literary magazine that was the first to cater specifically to Black children.With over two dozen works of fiction such as, “A Visit to Fairyland,” “How Br’er Possum Outwitted Br’er Rabbit,” and “Those Who Have No Turkey,” as well as selected biographies of legendary Black figures including Benjamin Banneker, Toussaint L’ouverture, and Alexandre Dumas; Stories From the Brownies Book offers some of the best children’s literature of the early twentieth century.“This was inevitable in our role as newspaper—but what effect must it have on our children? To educate them in human hatred is more disastrous to them than to the hated; to seek to raise them in ignorance of their racial identity and peculiar situation is inadvisable—impossible…there seems but one alternative: We shall publish hereafter not one Children's Number a year, but twelve! Messrs. DuBois and Dill will issue in November, in co-operation with the crisis, but as an entirely separate publication, a little magazine for children—for all children, but especially for ours, ‘the Children of the Sun.’ It will be called, naturally, The Brownies' Book, and as we have advertised, ‘It will be a thing of Joy and Beauty, dealing in Happiness, Laughter and Emulation, and designed especially for Kiddies from Six to Sixteen. It will seek to teach Universal Love and Brotherhood for all little folk—black and brown and yellow and white.’" Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

LARGE PRINT EDITION. Virginia Woolf's third novel, Jacob's Room (1922), is a penetrating look at one man's life from childhood until his untimely death in the first World War. On the surface, this could be considered an anti-war novel, yet it is a wildly inventive experimental work that dispels traditional forms of narration. The nebulous central character, Jacob Flanders, is strangely is absent from the novel, yet the spaces he traversed are not. In telling the story of Jacob through the perspective of the characters he encountered through his short life, Woolf has created an exceptional contemplation of memory, time, and identity. Subverting the bildungsroman genre, Jacob's Room recounts a short and unsettled life through related incidents, fleeting impression, and delirious stream-of-conscience passages.Through an almost cinematic lens, glimpses of Jacob's early life are recollected through his mother; the idyllic time spent with her children and her uneasy experiences living a widower's life. Through other voices, Jacob arrives at Cambridge, where he is able to socially integrate despite his humble upbringings. After graduating, he leaves for London, where he interacts with a wide range of individuals, both impoverished and from the wealthy class; yet he never fully connects to a meaningful human relationship. Jacob, questioning whether he is a failure, decides to leave London and travels to Greece. Fortunes abroad turn precarious, and he returns to London only to be sent off to the war, where he is killed in action. As E.M. Forester remarked at the publication of Jacob's Room, "A new type of fiction has swum into view." Woolf has created a transformative reading experience conveying the emptiness of one individual's life by leaving out the traditional elements of plot and character, yet she manages to question the ways we fail to see each other as we actually are.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jacob's Room is both modern and readable.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

LARGE PRINT EDITION. The narrator tells of witnessing the unstoppable onslaught of invaders from Mars, leading toward the seemingly inevitable downfall of mankind in this landmark of the literary imagination and foundational novel of the science fiction genre.First published in 1897 and never out of print since, The War of the Worlds is told in a lucid, almost documentary, style. The realistically depicted setting, with cities and streets accurately described, gives the Martian attack, and the subsequent collapse of order in Victorian England, unforgettable impact. The British Empire brings its mightiest war machines to bear to no avail as the fleeing narrator is reduced to hiding in the ruins of civilization while being stalked by an inhuman enemy. Adapted repeatedly to film and television, the novel's central concept of humanity under attack by extraterrestrials has never ceased resonating in pop culture and may have inspired more imitations than any other trope in the science fiction genre. It is a tribute to the capacious imagination of H.G. Wells that this novel retains both a sense of otherworldly wonder and a harrowing intensity to this day.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The War of the Worlds is both modern and readable.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
