The Cabbage Babies: repopulation postcards & the first movie ever made / by Mind Unveiled;
Where do babies come from? According to hundreds of early 1900s postcards, they hail from "Cabbage Patches." Far from being just an '80s doll craze, the idea of Cabbage Patch babies has roots that span centuries. These aren't just quirky artworks; they're early precursors to the surrealism movement, and they hint at a darker, lesser-known history. Embark on a captivating journey through alternative history as we decode the messages in these artworks. These are genuine postcards from 1900-1920s, sent across Europe and the US, many containing clues in the messages on their backs. By delving into lesser-known histories like the orphan trains and foundling hospitals, and even tapping into ancient references, we shed new light on these fascinating postcards.

The state we're in : Maine stories / by Beattie, Ann,author.(CARDINAL)341880;
What magical realism would be -- The fledgling -- Aunt Sophie Renaldo Brown -- Adirondack chairs -- Yancey -- Silent prayer -- Endless rain into a paper cup -- Duff's done enough -- Elvis is ahead of us -- Major maybe -- Road movie -- The little hutchinsons -- The stroke -- Missed calls -- The repurposed barn.This is about more than geographical location of Maine, and certainly is not a picture postcard of the coastal state. Some characters have arrived by accident, others are trying to get out. The collection opens, closes, and is interlaced with stories that focus on Jocelyn, a wryly disaffected teenager living with her aunt and uncle while attending summer school. As in life, the narratives of other characters interrupt Jocelyn's, sometimes challenging, sometimes embellishing her view.
