An imaginative, sparky young girl, Penny decides to enter herself into the prestigious Pleasington’s penny farthing race, alongside members of the Pleasington Penny Farthing Preservation Society. With the help of the man in the moon, Penny hopes to win the race and be the best penny farthing rider around! Penny Farthing and the Man in the Moon is a unique fairytale for children aged 9 and over as it encompasses issues surrounding autism and dyslexia, something which the protagonist, Penny, is diagnosed with. This story will appeal to children who enjoy light-hearted fairy stories, but also to parents looking for a story with hidden depths.
Download or read book Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon written by Mark Hodder and published by Pyr. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1863, but not the one it should be. Time has veered wildly off course, and now the first moves are being made that will lead to a devastating world war and the fall of the British Empire. Caught in a tangled web of cause, effect, and inevitability, little does Burton realize that the stakes are far higher than even he suspects. A final confrontation comes in the mist-shrouded Mountains of the Moon, in war- torn Africa of 1914, and in Green Park, London, where, in the year 1840, Burton must face the man responsible for altering time: Spring Heeled Jack! Burton and Swinburne's third adventure is filled with eccentric steam-driven technology, grotesque characters, and bizarre events, completing the three-volume story arc begun in The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack and The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Download or read book I Am Not a Number written by Alex Cox and published by Oldacastle Books. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as "surreal" or "Kafkaesque." In I Am (Not) a Number, Cox takes an opposing view. While the series has surreal elements, he believes it provides the answers to all the questions which have confounded viewers: who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who—or what—is Number 1? According to Cox, the key is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made, not in the order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial "explanation" for what is perhaps the best, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.

Download or read book Veiled Mysteries of Egypt and the Religion of Islam written by Simon Henry Leeder and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1923 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Western apologist for Islam claims that no writings on Mohammedanism are "more misleading than those of missionaries," especially those published in recent years. Their writings are said to be cruel and relentless attacks on Islam. This book is a sympathetic study and appreciation of the high ideals and motives of Mohammed and his followers, and consists of four parts: a description of Moslem life in town and village, some reflections and observations in the mosques, a book on the great feasts and festivals, and, finally, the great questions of Islam as interpreted through the Moslems themselves. The book is well written and makes interesting reading, even where those who know Islam can not agree with the author's conclusions.
