Download or read book POPULAR TALES OF THE WEST HIGHLANDS Vol 1 written by Anon E Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2009 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume of Tales of the West Highlands contains thirty ursgeuln, or tales, fifty riddles plus a few extra stories. As always, these are tales and stories in which something 'Fairy' or magical occurs, something extraordinary --fairies, giants, dwarfs, princes, princesses, kings and queens, speaking animals and the remarkable stupidity of some of the characters. But these aren't just a collection of amusing and entertaining stories. Just 20 years after the Elementary Education Act of 1870 these are the tales that were still being used in those far- flung reaches of the Highlands to teach the young the lessons of life. Also included are Seanachas--those old Highland stories which in their telling resemble no others, whose origins are lost in the mists of the Highlands, if not the midst of time. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television and radio, a time when tales were passed on orally-- at the drying kilns, at the communal well or in homes, where families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would delight and captivate the gathering with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents from time immemorial. A proportion of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated towards the education of the underprivileged in Scotland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs. Millionaire Short Story Book Series Volume 1 is a collection of fictional stories. Each story focuses on an unlucky family or individual who crosses paths with Mrs. Millionaire. We’ve all met people who have made significant life changes and overcome adversity, but only a few have gone through such a remarkable transformation. With so many stories of hope, encouragement, and life lessons to be learned, it only takes one to make a difference. Wild child. Reckless youth. Unruly. Obstinate. Matilde Jane Parker, or Tilly to her family and friends, is best known for her rebellious personality and reputation as a party girl. She is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist and grew up as an heiress and socialite in an upper-class family. She is intelligent and headstrong, but despises school and everything it stands for, although she performs admirably with little effort. Tilly enjoys causing mischief, and her out-of-control behavior worsens as she gets older. Tilly meets Dusty, the man of her dreams, and learns for the first time in her life what it means to give in and when to walk away from a relationship. Because of this experience, she gains a newfound appreciation for her family. Unfortunately, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, it turned her entire world upside down. Her parents were killed in a car accident. She resents being forced to mature to take over their family business, and she still feels this way after many years. Then, one day, a traumatic event changes her perception of herself. Someone attacked her in the underground parking lot of her building. Thankful for a stranger saving her, it has changed her outlook on life and helped her become a better person. Rather than living her life as a victim, she uses her power and wealth to help those who cannot defend themselves. Tilly finds herself in various situations and occasionally works as an amateur detective who helps people in need solve the problems she is involved in. This story depicts Matilde’s transformation from a troubled adolescent to a philanthropist. Nobody could have predicted that one day she would become a superhero without a mask or costume, assisting the poor, the homeless, and abandoned children.
