Originally published in 1863, out-of-print and unavailable for almost a century, Frances Anne Kemble's Journal has long been recognized by historians as unique in the literature of American slavery and invaluable for obtaining a clear view of the "peculiar institution" and of life in the antebellum South.

Fanny Kemble was one of the leading lights of the English stage in the nineteenth century. During a tour of America in the 1830s she met and married a wealthy Philadelphian, Pierce Butler, part of whose fortune derived from his family's vast cotton and rice plantation on the Sea Islands of Georgia. After their marriage she spent several months living on the plantation. Profoundly shocked by what she saw, she recorded her observations of plantation life in a series of journal entries written as letters to a friend. But she never sent the letters, and not until the Civil War was on and Fanny was divorced from Pierce Butler and living in England were they published.

This Brown Thrasher edition incorporates the valuable introduction written by John A. Scott for the 1961 edition published by Alfred A. Knopf, together with the editor's appendices to that edition. It provides the modern reader with the historical and biographical background to move freely and with ease in Mrs. Kemble's world.

BUY THIS FROTHER! IT'S THE BEST & THE LOWEST PRICE.
Color: Black
I have had a couple of other frothers, and I really like this one the best! It has ALL the different frothing tools, and it is rechargeable, not needing batteries, which is a plus. Another big plus is that it is very attractive and has the best (lowest) price of all the others. I must have looked at 100 different brands, and this one is amazing. The different speeds are separate buttons, making it much easier than the ones where you have to keep hitting the same button to get to other speeds. My other one was too fast & the milk would go all over the place, including my clothes! This frother would make a great gift. I gave my old one to my daughter... now she's coming over this week, and she's going to want my new one. ;-)

Powerful, Versatile & So Easy to Use!
Color: Black
This immersion blender exceeded my expectations! The 1100W motor is super powerful and blends everything smoothly-from soups to smoothies—in seconds. I love the trigger speed control because it gives me full control depending on the texture I want. The attachments are a huge bonus-the whisk works great for eggs and batters, and the milk frother is perfect for my morning coffee. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and super convenient compared to using a bulky blender. Cleanup is quick, which is a big plus for everyday use. Overall, a versatile and reliable kitchen tool that makes cooking so much easier!

Quiet, powerful, and very easy to use
Color: Black, Color: Black
Very convenient and stylish milk frother. I use it every day for coffee and matcha — the foam becomes thick in just a few seconds. It works quietly, holds a charge well, and the wireless design with USB charging is very convenient. The handle is lightweight and comfortable to hold. Great value for making café-style drinks at home.
