Download or read book The Watchers on the Longships written by James F. Cobb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Watchers on the Longships: A Tale of Cornwall in the Last Century I'r may be of some interest to the readers of the following tale to know that many of the incidents related in it, highly improbable as they may seem, are strictly founded upon fact. The light was first exhibited in the Longships on the 29th September 179 5, as related in the story. That one of the keepers of early days, who was left alone there, and had not been informed previously of the horrible noises caused by the pent-up air in the cavern below, became so terrified that his hair turned white in a single night, is a well-known fact All the circumstances, also, relating to the little girl who was left alone in the lighthouse - her father, the keeper, having been purposely kidnapped and confined by wreckers - and who was reluctantly obliged to stand on the Family Bible to light the lamps, are perfectly authentic. The noble and heroic exploit of the young clergyman, related towards the close of the story, is so far true, that the incident really occurred at, or near the spot described. The hero, however, was not a parson, but a school master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

You will inquire, can we believe him in all that he says? This brings me at once to his second qualification he invariably speaks the truth. If he describes scenery to you, it is scenery that he saw and noted on the spot. If he gives little sketches of cha racter, they are sketches drawn from the life. Does this satisfy your doubts? If it does not, he carries about with him some views, furnished to complete his travelling outfit, by one of his well wishers. Look at these; and judge his trustwor thiness accordingly.

Book excerpt: She’s back. Jude’s childhood friend -- sexy, daring Stella-- returns to their stifling hometown, and life will never be the same again. (Ages 14 & Up) Sixteen-year-old Jude has to get out of tiny Churchtown. She has to escape her outcast status and her pathetic dad, who hasn’t gotten past her mother’s death. The one bright light is drama, her way out, if only she can get into the Lab, a prestigious program in London. Then Stella, Jude’s childhood best friend, swaggers in after years away. With bold and magnetic Stella by her side, Jude knows she’s capable of anything. But Stella’s influence extends well beyond the theater. Soon Stella’s wild and dangerous streak begins to cause trouble for Jude -- yet Jude can’t bring herself to abandon Stella and the attention she’s always craved. And besides, now that Stella’s back, there’s no stopping her. In Jude’s dark and tangled story, British author Joanna Nadin plumbs the aftermath of loss and the consequences of becoming the person you always wished you were.
