Download or read book Tall Ears and Short Tales written by Carol Chapman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Carol Chapman sold her home in Connecticut, she soon found herself on one of those roads less traveled...and that has made all the difference. Arriving in Texas, she bought a ranch and created The Last Refuge, a sanctuary for unwanted dogs, cats, goats, and, most of all, for horses, mules, and donkeys that were destined for the slaughterhouse. Meet Chipper, a chocolate Lab who not only participates in nursing horses back to health, but has also raised cats, lambs, and baby chicks. Learn how goats secretly yearn for the mountains of their ancestors and happily leap onto the hood of a car to illustrate that point. Follow Chapman around for a day and discover that it's hard to get out of shape when caring for horses--if lugging what has to go in one end (massive buckets of water, sixty-pound bales of hay, and fifty-pound bags of grain) doesn't keep a waistline trim, shoveling up piles of what comes out the other end will. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a hay bale, and enjoy Chapman's unconventional collection of earthy, hilarious, but always heart-warming and timeless reminiscences.

In the parallel world of humans, Lizzie Longton lives with her eccentric but adoring grandmother. Lizzie has always known that she's unlike other kids and is bullied because of it. The problem is, apart from her strangely shaped ears, she doesn't understand why she's 'different'. On her 11th birthday, Lizzie is surprised to receive the news that she has won a holiday to an exclusive hotel. Upon arrival at their destination, Lizzie and her grandmother quickly discover that the holiday is not quite what it claims to be. Instead, they find themselves in a world full of people and creatures they believed only exist in myth and legend. During their journey, Lizzie discovers the truth about her heritage and why she's so different. She also finds herself caught up in a series of adventures that challenge her to fight her demons in both worlds.
Download or read book Short Story Press Presents All Lesser Creatures written by Short Story Press and published by Short Story Press. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents All Lesser Creatures by Matthew Kilpatrick “All Lesser Creatures” takes an often-used mythologic monster idea and twists into a new direction. You will see the more familiar take on the idea in the story as well but also as seen in a very different light. This story realizes the full potential of a certain basic idea, just as the main character realizes the full and awesome potential of he and his kind, who previously believed themselves to be without defenses. The story is comprised of: • A simple man who suffers an accident leaving him with a bizarre condition • This man coming to accept and even enjoy his new lifestyle thanks to newfound community • Several unusual creatures with amazing abilities • Unexpected twists on an old idea, taking it to new places and to a new level • A tale of triumph over vicious oppression by the downtrodden underdogs • A new appreciation for a wide variety of animals “All Lesser Creatures” is a refreshing and positively affirming story. If you feel like the world has got you down and there’s nothing you can do about it, just look to the example set by Gary Landry (the main character) and his friends. Your situation and the appropriate response will almost certainly not be the same but the message is clear: don’t underestimate or give up on yourself. Realize your true potential.

Download or read book The Art of the Short Story written by Rudolph Amsel and published by Elsinore Books. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 2030 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an anthology for people who love story-telling. Our one hundred classic masterpieces were selected purely for their capacity to delight, instruct and charm. In this collection, readers will encounter some of the finest writing in world literature. We have chosen to arrange the stories thematically, dividing the anthology into ten parts as follows: 1) Characters 2) Animals 3) Epiphanies 4) Mystery and Adventure 5) Horror and Ghosts 6) Strange, Surreal and Fantastic 7) Humour, Satire and Tall Tales 8) Love 9) Summer Tales 10) Winter Tales Please view the preview of this book for a full listing of contents. We hope this arrangement will encourage readers to move between the different parts of the anthology as their interest takes them, discovering as they do so, the shared sensibilities of authors remote in time and place. Though these stories vary enormously in theme, tone and setting—from Russian snow storms, to spiritual epiphanies in Winesburg, Ohio—each of them has enthralled readers across generations; is exemplary in its attention to detail and evocation of mood; resists all simplistic and univocal interpretations, and remains as fresh and penetrating today as when it was first written. At Elsinore Books we pride ourselves on creating beautiful e-books, and devote great attention to formatting, and ease of navigation. This book contains a cleanly-styled contents page that permits easy movement between the stories.
