The Penvellyn family is a fictional family introduced in HerInteractive's Nancy Drew Adventure series' Curse of Blackmoor Manor. All references to actual persons, events or locales is used fictionally. If the family was real, however, their history would go something like this:
The Penvellyn family is a well-known family in Essex, England. The first Penvellyn was Randulf the Red, so named for his red hair. On September 19, 1356, he was a hero at the Battle of Poitiers of the Hundred Years War. For his heroism he was awarded by King Edward III of England lands called Penvellyn in Essex, England. He also created the massive "moving room" system and was the original owner of the Philosopher's Stone. The Penvellyn family has lived in Blackmoor Manor ever since with the exception of the period after Elinor Penvellyn's death in 1650 and her grandson Corbin's return to the manor.

The Penvellyn family is a well-known family in Essex, England. The first Penvellyn was Randulf the Red, so named for his red hair. On September 19, 1356, he was a hero at the Battle of Poitiers of the Hundred Years War. For his heroism he was awarded by King Edward III of England lands called Penvellyn in Essex, England. He also created the massive "moving room" system and was the original owner of the Philosopher's Stone.

Shabda Cayanika ("A Collection of Words") is a series of books that assembles a vast number of discourses given in his native Bengali language by the philosopher and social reformer Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921-1990). The number of the collection's books published in English reached the fifth volume in 2011.
As stated by the publisher on the book's preface: "Ostensibly, Shabda Cayaniká is a series devoted to the linguistics and philology of the Bengali language, but in reality it is much more than that. The author uses the platform of the word as a point of departure to take the reader on a journey through all the varied landscapes of human knowledge history, geography, medicine, science, art, religion, philosophy, etc. and in the process adds the indelible stamp of his own unique intellect, enriching our experience with new ideas and enabling us to see our human heritage in a way we have never been able to before."
