Book excerpt: A BOY. A CAT. A NIGHTMARE LOOSED IN TWO WORLDS! In the sleepy town of Appleton, a young loner follows a stray cat onto the road and is struck by a car. A leg is shattered, a summer is ruined, and the troubled life of Billy Brahm goes from bad...to cursed. When the mysterious cat appears at his bedside, Billy is haunted by strange and prophetic dreams -- the creatures in them speak of Watchers, and Shadows, and the Enemy that Awakens. Does this impossible realm hold the key to healing the broken boy? Is the golden-eyed cat there to help him...or to make the nightmares come true? Too frightened to share the truth with his strict adoptive parents, Billy realizes that the only ones he can turn to are the local vet’s daughter, the town's 'crazy cat lady'... ...and a mystical tiger, beckoning from his dreams. 'If you are the sort of person who sometimes enjoys being the first to know about something important, it's high time you read this. Because this is important.' ~ THE GUARDIAN Award-winning storyteller BROOKE BURGESS (Broken Saints) makes a haunting, touching, and inspired children's fiction debut with The Cat's Maw, the first volume in his new mystery/fantasy saga for brave young readers. A moving, gripping, and quietly powerful tale awaits, with countless rewards for those who crave a creepy adventure, for fans of smart mysteries and contemporary fantasy...and, of course, for cat lovers of all ages!
Download or read book A Book of Cats written by Dorothy Margaret Stuart and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cat -- a goddess, an enigma, a playmate and a friend. Dorothy M. Stuart approaches her subject along four main roads: archaeology, history, legend and literature. The Ancient Egyptian Mau is here; the enchanted cats of Irish legend; the Gib of Gammer Gurton s Needle. Hodge and Selima, Jeffry and Dinah refused to be left out; but there are less familiar examples, too: the cat which voluntarily shared the Earl of Southampton s captivity in the Tower; the kitten in whose defence John Keats had a stand up fight with a brutal butcher-boy of Hampstead; the delinquent who at dead of night gnawed the strings of her master s lute. Graymalkin, the witches familiar, comes into the picture; and we catch fascinating glimpses of two furry sympathizers licking the tears from Florence Nightingale s cheeks, and of Cardinal Richelieu solemnly adding something on behalf of a cat and her kittens to the modest pension assigned by His Eminence to Mademoiselle Marie de Gournay, Montaigne s polished female friend. Dorothy M. Stuart is better known for her elegant and polished biographies, but in this short book we see a lighter side of her pen in an appreciation of feline company.

Download or read book Of Cats and Kings written by Clare de Vries and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sequel to I & Claudius (Clare de Vries' journey across the USA with her beloved brown Burmese), our heroine travels through Burma and Thailand in search of a replacement for her dearly departed Claudius. In Burma, Clare learns the basic tenets of Buddhism and receives a liberal dousing at the annual Thingyan celebrations, but unfortunately, finds no cats. Instead, she finds nats at Mount Popa, temple-strewn plains in Bagan, and a monastery full of jumping cats in Inle. In Thailand, while veering from nasty dives to luxurious spas, from lecherous cat breeders to ruthless elephant trainers, Clare learns the history of the precious Siamese/Burmese cats and the royals who nurtured them. Finally, she discovers the perfect kittens, hidden in a remote temple. All she has to do is give a donation to the monk who owns them - or so she thinks. Conveyed in Clare de Vries' characteristic witty and lighthearted style, the eye-opening and highly entertaining adventures in Of Cats and Kings will delight travelers and cat lovers alike. Clare de Vries is a freelance journalist and travel writer, and the author of I & Claudius. She lives in London. Praise for I & Claudius: 'Saucy, racy, pleasingly impolite...Think Thelma and Louise, only starring Bridget Jones and Morris the Cat.' - Mademoiselle 'A very enjoyable and unpredictable memoir...Anyone who has ever loved a cat will enjoy this engaging narrative.' - Booklist

Download or read book The Whisper of the River written by Ferrol Sams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1986-02-04 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bittersweet and very funny story of a young man’s journey to adulthood that the Nashville Banner called "Americana at its best." Young for his class and small for his age, Porter Osborne, Jr., leaves his rural Georgia home in 1938 to meet the world at Willingham University, armed with the knowledge that he has been "Raised Right" in the best Baptist tradition. What happens over the next four years will challenge the things he holds infallible: his faith, his heritage, and his parents’ omniscience. As we follow Porter’s college career, full of outrageous pranks and ribald humor, we sense a quiet, constant flow toward maturity. Peppered with memorable characters and resonant with details of place and time, The Whisper of the River is filled with the richness of spirit that makes great fiction. "Wry, incisive, delicately structured, emotionally complex, and hilarious." -- Atlanta Magazine
