Valley Memories

A Nostalgic Look at Growing Up in the Lower Naugatuck Valley

By: Marion Marchetto

Author Marion Garbien Marchetto (a member of Polish Falcons Nest 208) was born and raised in the Lower Naugatuck Valley, a direct descendent of Polish immigrants who settled there. In Valley Memories, she reprises her news column of the same name and adds additional memories of her childhood growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. To give perspective to the articles, she includes a bit of local history and recounts her memories along with the traditions of her ancestors. Readers will find themselves taken back to a time when The Valley was in the midst of change as it left the Industrial Revolution behind. Ms. Marchetto's memories are indicative of the lives of Valley residents but overall can be compared to life in other small communities around the country. More than just the memoirs of a baby-boomer, Valley Memories gives a glimpse into a way of life that no longer exists.

Oak Cliff

A Tale of Darkness and Despair

By: Marion Marchetto

Oak Cliff Farm has been plagued by tragedy, nightmares, and horror for over one hundred and fifty years. The house itself presents its dark history through flashbacks, hidden clues, and ghostly occurrences to Merline Madagascar, who is a house-whisperer of sorts. Unlike other houses with joyful histories that Merline has visited and heard, this house presents a unique challenge when its new owners, Jack and Erica, call Merline to help restore the house to its former elegance. Weary of a recurring nightmare caused by its first owners; the house wants nothing more than to provide shelter to a loving family with children. Oak Cliff Farm welcomes Jack and Erica with the hope that they will be the ones to bring happiness to its rooms once again. But a wandering soul still hovers over Oak Cliff Farm, causing unrest and apprehensiveness for all its subsequent owners. Accompanying Merline are her historically-inclined husband Daniel, her intrepid architect/contractor Verne, Chef Jacques and his significant other Erica, and a host of other characters. Will Oak Cliffs past prove too much for Merline? Or will the more than a century-long series of ill-fated events finally come to an end?

Delphi Complete Works of F. Marion Crawford (Illustrated)

By: F. Marion Crawford

A late nineteenth century American author, F. Marion Crawford was a prolific novelist and noted writer of classic weird and fantastic stories. Crawford objected to the prevailing taste for realistic fiction and preferred to write gripping romance fiction. His novels are noted for vivid characterisations and their versatile and colourful depictions of European settings. Many of his works are set in Italy, the country he made his long-time home. His most celebrated achievement is the ‘Saracinesca’ trilogy of novels, which explores the effect of recent social changes on the aristocracy at a time when its influence and status were under attack from the emerging forces of modernity. For the first time in publishing history, this edition presents Crawford’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

201 Atwater

By: Marion Marchetto

When Max Milionas inherits his parents' house at 201 Atwater Street in New Haven, Connecticut, he is determined to sell it as soon as possible. However, he quickly discovers that the residence has a history that it is begging to tell. With the house itself as narrator, author Marion Marchetto weaves an enchanting tale set in one of New Haven's most historic districts. Max and his wife Edwina begin their research into the background of the old house at the town clerk's office and the extensive libraries of Yale University. They soon uncover clues that lead them through a series of secrets hidden for the past two hundred years. Max and Edwina team up with Merline Madagascar, an interior designer who specializes in historical restorations, but who also possesses the innate ability to actually communicate with old buildings. Working together, they are able to lovingly restore the house to its original, beautiful condition-and finally free its untold secrets. Does the house's history hold a promise for the twenty-first century? The key to unlocking a fifty-five-year-old mystery may prove that history sometimes comes full circle, welcoming everyone home again.
