Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales About America and Australia by Samuel G. Goodrich is a fascinating account of history, geography and culture of two countries on either side of the globe. Goodrich uses the name Peter Parley to narrate these tales, making them an instant hit for children and young adults looking for a gripping account of voyages, discoveries and beautiful descriptions of Australia and America. Goodrich takes the reader through the exciting journeys of Christopher Columbus and Pizarro among other well-known voyagers. Tales About America and Australia is spread across multiple chapters with a substantial chunk on Columbus' voyages and encounters in the New World. Goodrich is able to deconstruct rather complex historical accounts into simple narratives that retain the essence of that era while keeping the language simple and easy to understand. Goodrich keeps the reader enticed with an intelligent selection of tales that bring out the anxiety, nervous energy and uncertainty of discovering new places and people. The book is full of illustrations that help contextualizing particular incidents and events described in the narrative. Even though a lesser portion of the book deals with Australia, it is this particular section which contains within it some great trivia and detailed analysis of native inhabitants, flora, fauna and culture of the newly discovered country. While Tales About America and Australia is an excellent piece of work for young adults to appreciate the discovery of new lands, it is by no means a book meant for children alone. It has within it, hidden treasures of information which can be immensely entertaining not just for the young but adult readers as well.

The heart Of a deep mine I A gold mine, with all its dim and rugged corridors, its tunnels and windings, lighted only by a dull taper here and there. There is no one at work, for it is Christmas Eve. Yet the underground region is not altogether untenanted. One man Whose duty it is to watch the place, until relieved on the morrow, lies coiled up asleep in one of the long drives. He is a young man, not tall, but strongly made, and with limbs like another Hercules. On account of his great strength and a certain good temper combined, his mates call him, Samson the Nugget. For what length of time the Nugget slumbered on this good Christmas Eve will never be known. Certain it is that he suddenly Opened his eyes and beheld one of the biggest, and withal one of the ugliest, hulking fellows he had ever seen standing over him. The Nugget was a brave youth, but fear began to take possession of him as he looked at the intruder-a giant in stature, with a huge, flat head upon his shoulder, and a mouth as large.

Download or read book Australian Stories Retold and Sketches of Country Life Classic Reprint written by William Henry Suttor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australian Stories Retold and Sketches of Country Life Telegraph in Sydney, they have beguiled many weary hours of their author at a time of much anxiety for all those who, like himself, were interested in the great pas toral industry of the country. Iam no judge of their merits, if, indeed, they have any. The first person who suggested their collection in this form was the late Chief Justice, Sir James Martin, who was pleased to speak in terms somewhat too laudatory of them, and in his rapid manner said, You must put them in a book, you know - you must put them in a book. Well, here they are in a book. There is little or nothing imagina tive in the volume. The Stories Retold are chiefly gathered from the Press records of the day, and from the word of mouth of old colonial friends who have some recollection of the events narrated. The Sketches of Country Life are derived almost wholly from my own experiences. The descriptions of men and scenery are exactly set down as they appeared to me. So many wonderful changes have taken place in colonial society since I was young, that I venture to h0pe the book may not prove uninteresting to those who have not been eyewitnesses of those changes.
