Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÿ Joyce Taylor grew up on the banks of the Severn in the years during and after the Second World War. Her home town of Sharpness was then a thriving port with cargoes arriving on every tide from all over the world, and as the daughter of a docker she had only to look at her father?s clothes when he came home from work to see what the latest ship had brought in, from flour and timber to chocolate, grain, nuts, sugar and fruit. As Joyce grew up she was expected to pull her weight around the house looking after the goats and hens, and by the age of seventeen she was delivering milk to outlying farms and cottages in all weathers using a pony and trap. Now entering her 80s, Joyce has painted an enchanting portrait of family life in a rural English community in the 1930s and 40s.

Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony that is 108 acres wide (about the size of 83 football fields!). It is technically one tree. Imagine developing a spiritual connection with a tree in a way that exceeds visual perception; where learning its meaning and value simultaneously improves your own mental and physical wellness. Throughout history, floriographies--flower dictionaries--have gained notoriety for regulating human emotions and giving depth, symbolism, and meaning to extremely delicate aspects of nature. Following the success of The Complete Language of Herbs and its predecessor The Complete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz continues this custom with The Complete Language of Trees. Coupled with two indexes, one for searching by common tree name and the other organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly connects quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health by developing a stunningly depicted dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and nature lovers alike.

Book excerpt: July 1964. Chartwell House, Kent: Winston Churchill wakes at dawn. There’s a dark, mute “presence” in the room that focuses on him with rapt concentration. It’s Mr. Chartwell. Soon after, in London, Esther Hammerhans, a librarian at the House of Commons, goes to answer the door to her new lodger. Through the glass she sees a vast silhouette the size of a mattress. It’s Mr. Chartwell. Charismatic, dangerously seductive, Mr. Chartwell unites the eminent statesman at the end of his career and the vulnerable young woman. But can they withstand Mr. Chartwell’s strange, powerful charms and his stranglehold on their lives? Can they even explain who or what he is and why he has come to visit? In this utterly original, moving, funny, and exuberant novel, Rebecca Hunt explores how two unlikely lives collide as Mr. Chartwell’s motives are revealed to be far darker and deeper than they at first seem.

Download or read book Asshat s Fables written by Ian Wood and published by Ian Wood. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aesop is just another way of saying 'a poser' which is what he was. The words are almost anagrams! He's long been held up as a fount of wisdom, but he should have changed his name to Kyrie Profanis, which is Greek for 'Mr Obvious'. He was apparently a slave, and judged from this effort - assuming he actually did write any of it - he must have suffered terribly if this collection was the result. Æsop had it coming. These fables are over 2,000 years out of date and it shows. It's high time they were updated for the modern world. This mature and deviant collection of inane, humorous, off-the-wall, and downright ridiculous foibles all of which are rooted in his crazed stories, aims to do just that. Don't say you weren't warned. From the insane author of: Baker Street Bar Trek Dire Virgins Dune With the Wind It's a Wonderful Lie!
