Other Fiction Gale, Zona: Christmas v1.1 8 dec 2008

[mtravellerh]

Zona Gale (August 26, 1874 – December 27, 1938) was an American writer. Born in Portage, Wisconsin, which she often used as a setting in her writing, she attended Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Later she entered the University of Wisconsin-Madison, from which she received a Bachelor of Literature degree in 1895, and four years later a Master's degree.

After graduation, Gale wrote for newspapers in Milwaukee and New York City. However, before long she gave up journalism to focus on fiction writing. She then published her first novel, Romance Island (1906), and began the very popular series of "Friendship Village" stories.

In 1912, Gale moved back to Portage, which she would call home for the rest of her life, although alternating with trips to New York. In 1920, she published the novel Miss Lulu Bett, which depicts life in the Midwestern United States. She adapted it as a play, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921. In the same year, Gale took an active role in the creation of the Wisconsin Equal Rights Law, which prohibits discrimination against women.

This is a novel called Christmas. It's beautiful.

You may have noticed that (for your first version posted) the "tall" images bleed out the bottom of the page.

Normally, Mobi2IMP will automatically fix this, but it too can fail when the <img src> tag includes the width and height of the picture. In this case, even though the images are scaled to the "correct" aspect ratio by Mobi2IMP, the width/height specified negates this "fix".

To truly get "proper" images, you would have to hand edit each <img src> tag to remove the specified width/height.

They are quite beautiful ebooks!

Thanks!

p.s. Please note that the filename ending in '_1200.imp' is for the REB 1200. The EBW1150 .imp ebook is in post #1 above.

If you would like, below are "corrected" ebooks which you can re-post in post #1.

Please note that the filename ending in '_1200.imp' is for the REB 1200. The other .imp is for the EBW 1150.

I said I forgot that metadata editing, didn't I?
