This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leo was a simple-minded youth of princely blood and proud birth. He knew that much was expected of him, and that he was destined to rule; yet he was easily satisfied with the simplest things and lay about all day basking in the sun, watching with languid gaze the movements of the world about him. And the world where he lived was very beautiful. On a fertile plain, surrounded by mountain-peaks threaded by silver streams, and so well watered that its vegetation was almost tropical. Under Leo's father, Prince Morpheus Lazybones, the family thrived, and was well supplied with all manner of delicacies, for the servants were many, and there was never a lack of corn or wine. Leo was most fair to see. To be sure, his drooping lids half concealed his azure eyes, and his golden locks sometimes hid his snowy forehead; but his smile was charming; his face had such an expression of calm satisfaction, such a patient tranquillity, that his smile was as the sudden sunshine on a placid lake. It was the smile of the family, an inherited feature, like the blue hood of a Spanish Don. And then it was given so freely: the beggar would have preferred it to be accompanied with the jingle of a coin, but as the coin never came and the smile did, he tried to think that it warmed his heart, though his wallet went empty. There were those who said a smile cost nothing, else it would not have been bestowed. It had a peculiarity of its own which these same critics also objected to—it nearly always ended in a yawn. One day Leo was idling the day watching the rain drops drip out the spout when he heard a voice. It turned out it was a founding member of the S.P.C.C. challenging Leo’s inactivity. Leo demanded that the voice show himself only to learn he would have to have his eyes anointed in order to see “the voice”. Following instruction Leo felt a little pressure forcing down his eyelids, and the pouring of a drop of cool liquid on each. When he opened his eyes again there stood before him the quaintest, strangest being he had ever beheld. Well, what happened next you may ask, and what else did he see? Would the smallish being lead Leo on his many adventures? Well you’ll have to download this most interesting book to find out for yourself! 10% of the profit from the sale of this book is donated to charities. ======================== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Adventures of Prince Lazybones, action, fantasy, awakening, Phil, Fairies, Florio, Florella, Boreas Bluster, Christmas Present, Prince, king, land of plenty, Swanlike Boat, Eagle, Sturgeon, Useful, green land, plentiful, forest, supernatural, fairy tale, folklore, elves, elf, pixie, simple minded, princely blood, silver stream, beautiful land, fertile plane, Prince Morpheus Lazybones, delicacies, servants, calm satisfaction, placid lake, engaging smile, tranquillity, inactivity, Paz, minerals, diamonds, squirrel, spiced wine, monastery, castle, cloister, chapel, savory stews, atonement, revolt, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, geography, study, wanderings, silk stockings, hobnailed boots, cellar, strange door, Knops,

Download or read book Pirate Princes and Yankee Jacks written by Daniel Henderson and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-09-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirate Princes and Yankee Jacks is a tribute to the men and boys who created and served in America's first navy. It sets forth David Forsyth's Adventures in America's Battles on Sea and Desert with the Buccaneer Princes of Barbary* (North Africa), with an Account of a Search under the Sands of the Sahara Desert for the Treasure-filled Tomb of Ancient Kings. It is about the pioneering American captains and sailors who once suffered slavery and torture to make the Mediterranean a safe sea for Yankee vessels. It also remembers the Americans who lay for nine years in Turkish prisons and about General William Eaton, who led a little band of Americans and Greeks on a desperate venture across the North African desert to release the imprisoned crew of the Philadelphia from Turkish bondage, and who, for the first time, raised the United States flag over a fort of the old world. * Barbary, or the Barbary Coast, is an area along the North Coast of Africa. It was not always a unified political entity. From the 16th century onwards, it was divided into the political entities of the Regency of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripolitania (Tripoli). Major rulers and petty monarchs during the times of the Barbary States' plundering parties included the Pasha or Dey of Algiers, the Bey of Tunis and the Bey of Tripoli. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Pirate Princes, Yankee Jacks, Barbary Coast, Algiers, Tunis, Tripolitania, Tripoli, America, USA, First Navy, Battles, Sea, Desert, Buccaneer Princes, North Africa, Sands, Sahara Desert, Treasure, Tomb, Ancient Kings, captains, Yankee vessels, Turkey, imprisoned, prisoner, General William Eaton, the Philadelphia, bondage, release, rescue, US Flag, political entity, Barbary States, Pasha, Dey of Algiers, Bey of Tunis, Bey of Tripoli, Man from the East, Capture, Corsairs, Rose of Egypt, First Voyage, Mutiny, Betrayal, American Frigate, Cattleship, Old Ironsides, Connecticut Yankee, sultan, Court of Tunis, blow up, loss, American Eagle, African Desert, Desert Girl, Reuben James, Save, Stephen Decatur, Desert City, Derne, Sold, Slavery, Home Surprises, Pirate Nest, Bloody Bashaws, Sixpence, ransom, Wrecking, Piracy, Communities, Mediterranean, Roman Times, Fighter, Join, Caravan, Tokra, Treasure City, Dreams, Gloomy, Liberate, Chains of Barbarism, First Time, Fort, Old World, Tobruk,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a very good collection of ancient tales called Arabian Nights Stories. This collection of ancient tales from Arabia, India, Persia, etc., is called Arabian Night. The Merchant and The Genie, The Enchanted Horse, The Little Hunchbacked, Sindbad The Sailor, etc., are few of the selected stories which will act as catalyst and set off the young beginners on the quest for knowledge. So, this collection of stories can definitely be taken for granted because general reading-public is a graded quality of knowledge seeker. These tales were continued for more than one thousand nights to entertain the Sultan Shahriar. So, the Sultan forgot his cruelties against his people. Here are few of those interesting and valuable tales selected for our readers.

Download or read book The Arabian Nights written by Andrew Lang and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now "The Arabian Nights," some of which, but not nearly all, are given in this volume, are only fairy tales of the East. The people of Asia, Arabia, and Persia told them in their own way, not for children, but for grown-up people. There were no novels then, nor any printed books, of course; but there were people whose profession it was to amuse men and women by telling tales. They dressed the fairy stories up, and made the characters good Mahommedans, living in Bagdad or India. The events were often supposed to happen in the reign of the great Caliph, or ruler of the Faithful, Haroun al Raschid, who lived in Bagdad in 786-808 A.D. The vizir who accompanies the Caliph was also a real person of the great family of the Barmecides. He was put to death by the Caliph in a very cruel way, nobody ever knew why.

Download or read book Oriental Tales Vol 1 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oriental Tales is the first of two volumes compiled from the well-known collection of stories found in the Arabian Nights. The title reveals the intention of the author clearly as the stories in this book are abridged with the intention of highlighting the underlying messages of morality present in them. The author has therefore taken pains to select only those stories which have a strong message attached to them. Since Arabian Nights itself is a fairly exhaustive work of literature, a book like this is very handy for a quick reading of some of its most famous stories. There are a total of twelve different tales in Oriental Tales. Each of them retains the original essence of the plot with due weight given to the main characters and yet none of them run into more than a handful of pages. This is where the brilliance of the author shines through as the moral message and originality of these age old stories is retained even in brevity. Readers would be particularly pleased to find Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as well as Sinbad featured in this volume. Written in simple language, this title is ideally suited for all age groups. Those who are as yet deprived of the enticing tales of the East as found in the Arabian Nights can pick up Oriental Tales to get a head start on what the original work contains, while the title is perfect for children and young adults to get lost in the mesmerizing world of the characters and retain the moral values highlighted in each tale.
