Download or read book The Mushroom Circle written by Clare C Newbury and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you were a child did you ever put a tooth under your pillow hoping the tooth fairy would come to take it and leave a coin in its place? Did you ever worry that there might be goblins in the woods? Have you ever seen a moth fly by and wondered if it just might be a pixie? Have you stepped inside a ring of mushrooms and experienced the magic of the mushroom circle? Step into the circle now. Off the coast of Maine lies Terrapin Island, shaped like a tortoise whose seaweed-covered head disappears at high tide. Rings of Marasmius Oreades mushrooms have been growing on the island for hundreds of years. Each year the rings grow larger, like droplets in a puddle, until they reach the boundary of rocks that lets them go no further. The entire island lies within the magic circle. Terrapin Island is inhabited by giants, who are people rather like yourself, and by wee folk, who are tiny fairies and goblins of the sort most giants cannot see, and certainly do not believe in. The wee folk, however, are very aware of the giants, and for the most part, take a dim view of the way they live. You will be introduced to Fearbabe, the mesmerizing king of the goblins. His dysfunctional band of hooligans includes Obsequia, Hotspur, and Whipcad, the trio most recently banished to goblinhood by the fairies. You will meet the fairy architect, Aerial Fog, an ethereal pale green sprite who glows with the power of love, and who has a friend among the giants: Marian Fuller, an eccentric and ageless artist, winters in Mexico and spends her summers as librarian on Terrapin Island. Marian provides Aerial Fog with building materials in exchange for information about the wee folk. You will get to know Marians seven-and-a-half-year-old friend, Dawn McKay, who suspects that Marian is a witch. Dawn loses a tooth in Marians kitchen early one morning. That night two fairies, Featherbell and Fiddlehead, are sent to fetch the tooth from under Dawns pillow. Their efforts are hampered by Dawns father, Boos attempt to play the role of tooth fairy himself. You will encounter Harriet Gracewell, an eighty-three-year-old bird watcher who dresses only in black and takes care of her cranky invalid sister-in-law, Estelle. Harriet accidentally finds herself in possession of a tiny cloak belonging to Osmosis the gnome. She shows the little garment to Marian Fuller, who tells her it must be returned to its owner. Complications arise when the cloak falls into the hands of Fearbabe the goblin. Harriet, Marian, and Dawn join forces with the fairies to make a trade with Fearbabe. Because of their helpful interactions with the wee folk, Marian, Harriet, and Dawn are invited to attend the fairies Summer Solstice celebration, at which a particularly surprising event transpires.
Download or read book Tales of Yore written by Mark Woodbury and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs are the natural villains in any book by or about mail carriers-and that's certainly true in Tales of Yore, The Mail Carriers' Revenge, a collection of favorite anecdotes of real-life mail carriers. Here, dogs are humorously trashed, trounced, and vilified in a most satisfactory manner. However, not all dogs are bad. Tales of Yore also includes light-hearted stories of inept dogs, misunderstood dogs, some vicious critters that aren't even dogs-and yes, even a few good dogs. Tales of Yore is about people too, as postal people are kind of like dogs. You've got your good ones, your bad ones, smart and dumb ones-and then you got your butt-snifters who should be put on a leash! Laugh along with our heroes as they encounter snakes, vicious cats, and attack chickens; guys in dresses-and some customers with no clothes at all. Tales of Yore has all these stories, as well as stories of heroic carriers. It explores the difficulties of carrying mail in a changing world and contemplates the human side of the postal service-the fun and foibles of an unruly and obstinate bunch of "characters" who deliver big laughs with each letter.
Download or read book Soldiers and Ghosts written by Phil Gutierrez and published by . This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though little more than a boy, Private Josh Simmons is no green recruit of the Confederate Army. Now seventeen years old, he participated in the Battle of Gettysburg last year. Like most of his fellow soldiers, he doesn’t truly understand the underpinnings of the battle, but he has faith in his commanders, especially General Robert E. Lee. Simmons fights on the premise the blue bellies are down here threatening his home and his family. He also knows death waits for him up some road, trail, field, or grade. Now, a century and a half after the most momentous struggle in American history, Soldiers and Ghosts tells the story of the American Civil War from ground level through the eyes of Simmons, a Confederate infantryman. It narrates the experiences of young adolescents during one of the most dramatic and chaotic moments of that Wilderness Campaign of 1864. The first book in a trilogy, Soldiers and Ghosts tells a tale of valor amid the horror of unceasing battle and struggle as the Ghost Army gained recruits at feverish pitch during the darkest days of the Civil War.
Download or read book Shooting from the Lip written by Donald Loren Hardy and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly before Wyoming’s Alan K. Simpson was elected majority whip of the United States Senate, he decided to keep a journal. “I am going to make notes when I get home in the evening, as to what happened during each day.” Now the senator’s longtime chief of staff, Donald Loren Hardy, has drawn extensively on Simpson’s personal papers and nineteen-volume diary to write this unvarnished account of a storied life and political career. Simpson gave full authorial control to Hardy, telling him, “Don, just tell the truth, the whole truth, as you always have. Leave teeth, hair, and eyeballs on the floor, if that results from telling the truth.” Taking Simpson at his word, Hardy shows readers a thrill-seeking teenager in Cody and a tireless politician who has thoroughly enjoyed his work. Full of entertaining tales and moments of historical significance, Shooting from the Lip offers a privileged and revealing backstage view of late-twentieth century American politics. Hardy’s richly anecdotal account reveals the roles Simpson played during such critical events as the Iran-Contra scandal and Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings. It divulges the senator’s candid views of seven American presidents and scores of other national and world luminaries. Simpson is a politician unfettered by partisanship. Among President George H. W. Bush’s closest compatriots, he was also a close friend and admirer of Senator Ted Kennedy and was never afraid to publicly challenge the positions or tactics of fellow lawmakers, Democratic and Republican alike. Simpson’s ability to use truth and humor as both “sword and shield,” combined with his years of experience and issue mastery, has led to an impressive post-Senate career. In 2010, for example, he co-chaired President Barack Obama’s Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Shooting from the Lip portrays a statesman punching sacred cows, challenging the media, and grappling with some of the nation’s most difficult challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquorice IceCream was inspired by my friends who make it. They make it on-farm, and all the ingredients are natural and authentic. That has inspired me to also be natural and authentic, and I hope the five chapters "Naturally," "Personally," "Intimately," "Exactly," and "Finally," as well as the five short stories demonstrate that. I have been in medical practice for a very long time, and my patients have been a wonderful source of inspiration to me. The staff at LaTrobe University have also been supportive and helpful, and to whom I say a very big thank you.
Download or read book At Home in the Heart of Appalachia written by John O'Brien and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2002-09-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John O’Brien was raised in Philadelphia by an Appalachian father who fled the mountains to escape crippling poverty and family tragedy. Years later, with a wife and two kids of his own, the son moved back into those mountains in an attempt to understand both himself and the father from whom he’d become estranged. At once a poignant memoir and a tribute to America's most misunderstood region, At Home in the Heart of Appalachia describes a lush land of voluptuous summers, woodsmoke winters, and breathtaking autumns and springs. John O'Brien sees through the myths about Appalachia to its people and the mountain culture that has sustained them. And he takes to task naïve missionaries and rapacious industrialists who are the real source of much of the region's woe as well as its lingering hillbilly stereotypes. Finally, and profoundly, he comes to terms with the atavistic demons that haunt the relations between Appalachian fathers and sons.
