First published in 1995 by Macmillan, this is the biography of Kathleen Scott, written by her granddaughter the novelist Louisa Young, author of My Dear I Wanted to Tell You (Harper Collins). Famous for being Captain Scott of the Antarctic's widow, Kathleen was also a talented professional sculptor who studied in Paris with Rodin. She led a very adventurous and unusual life for a woman of her time, and made friends with people as diverse as Bernard Shaw, Fritjof Nansen, the WW1 Prime Minister Herbert Asquith and dancer Isadora Duncan. Her sons were Sir Peter Scott the naturalist and writer, and politician Wayland Young, Lord Kennet. The biography is based on diaries Kathleen started in 1910 for Scott to read on his return; after his death she continued writing them, covering politics, exploration, art and her friends and family. 2012 is the 100th anniversary of Scott's last expedition, and this new and revised edition is published in celebration. The Times described the book as 'an enthralling life'.

Fits 11” iPad Air with keyboard case
Was looking for something that could hold not just my 11” iPad Air, but also hold it while in its keyboard case with flash sticks and storage for plugs and such. This fits everything perfectly, has good padding, storage pockets inside and out, and feels like a quality build.

Fits in purse without a lot of bulk
I ordered this to use as a travel cross-stitch case on the recommendation of someone else. Surprise, surprise - It doesn’t work as a travel cross-stitch case! (I either shouldn’t have listened or I got the wrong kind). However, I do have a iPad and it ended up working great for that so I didn’t return it. Padding is good; everything fits; easy to use with a nice handle; the zipper is smooth; color is neutral; doesn’t add a lot of bulk so it’s easy to fit in my bag; provides extra protection although I don’t really need that; seams and stitching are holding up well to everyday use and it wipes clean. While it doesn’t work for my sewing while traveling, it does work everyday for “work”. So, don’t get this for sewing, but for your iPad (the actual intended purpose!!); for that purpose it works well. My mistake ended up being a plus and the price was good.

Must have this if you have an iPad.
Fits my iPad perfectly. Makes storage of the power cord easy. It also protects the iPad when not in use.
