BIOGRAPHY Author of The Fiery Trial, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History, the Bancroft Prize, and the Lincoln Prize GATEWAY TO FREEDOM The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad Eric Foner "Foner's gripping account of slaves' struggles to free themselves reveals the immense risks they, and their sympathizers, took to escape bondage." — Publishers Weekly In 1835, the New York Vigilance Committee was organized by free blacks working with white abolitionists to protect blacks from kidnappers and slave catchers. Soon such committees proliferated in the North, and began a collaboration known as the underground railroad. Building on fresh evidence, Eric Foner elevates the underground railroad from folklore to history. 978-1-4104-7851-1 • $31.99 U.S. Nonfiction/History • Releases 4/15/15 THE STORY OF FESTER CAT Paul Magrs "A little gem of a book." — Booklist When he first ambled into Paul Magrs's yard — skinny, covered in flea bites, and missing all but one and a half teeth — Fester knew he'd found his family. Paul and his partner, Jeremy, thought it was the ragged black-and- white stray, tired from a rough life on the streets, who was in desperate need of support. But clever Fester knew better.
