This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A storyteller examines Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and the lore that inspired it, as well as other local legends of the Hudson Valley. The story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman is one of America's best-known fables, but what other stories does the Hudson Valley hold? Imps cause mischief on the Hudson River, a white lady haunts Raven Rock, Major Andre’s ghost seeks redemption and real headless Hessians search for their severed skulls. These mysterious and spooky tales from the region’s past inspired Irving and continue to captivate the imagination to this day. “Kruk has been enchanting audiences with his dramatic, enticing storytelling ability for 20 years.” —Suzanne Rothberg, Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow Patch
Download or read book The Legend of Seleucus written by Daniel Ogden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the chaos that followed the death of Alexander the Great his distinguished marshal Seleucus was reduced to a fugitive, with only a horse to his name. But by the time of his own death, Seceucus had reconstructed the bulk of Alexander's empire, built Antioch, and become a king in his turn, one respected for justness in an age of cruelty. The dynasty he founded was to endure for three centuries. Such achievements richly deserved to be projected into legend, and so they were. This legend told of Seleucus' divine siring by Apollo, his escape from Babylon with an enchanted talisman, his foundations of cities along a dragon-river with the help of Zeus' eagles, his surrender of his new wife to his besotted son, and his revenge, as a ghost, upon his assassin. This is the first book in any language devoted to the reconstruction of this fascinating tradition.

Download or read book What s in a Name written by C Stella Davies and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1970, What's in a Name is intended for the layman who feels some curiosity about local names and would like to know more about them- their history, the clues they hold to the life of the past, and the methods of discovering what they have to tell. Place-names can, as the authors of this book put it, ‘help to unravel the beginnings of English history’. Books on place-names tend, in the main, to concentrate upon technical linguistic matters, but this book, while not neglecting the technical aspect of the subject, places more emphasis on history at large. It is designed as a popular introduction to the study of place- names and the authors describe the pleasure to be derived from knowledge of the history and meaning of place-names, showing how they can illuminate battles and settlements, the occupations and beliefs of men and women, the sides of castles and of Roman roads. Those who travel about the countryside will find this to enrich their enjoyment of England.
Download or read book The Legend of Kisrath written by J.A. Gandza and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast expanse of the omniverse, where eight realms coexist in a delicate balance of power, the winds of change whisper of a prophecy—the arrival of a promised messiah who will spearhead a profound transformation. However, a dark shadow looms on the horizon, a mysterious magician and his menacing horde of black dragons. Not only do they oppose this evolutionary leap forward, they want to roll the clocks all the way back, ushering in a new age of slavery and death. The Kingdom of Rhoswen in the third realm of Veldamon, safeguarded by dragon marshals and their riders, stands as the last bastion against this encroaching evil. Among them is Kisrath, a resplendent golden dragon, and her rider, Mylandra, who is the captain of the guard. They and their companions bear the weight of protecting their homeland, unaware that their battle to save Rhoswen is but one skirmish in a much larger war. As their struggle catapults them through time and across dimensions, their friendship and courage are put to the test. Failure is not an option, however, for if their kingdom falls, the annihilation of the entire omniverse is assured, a cataclysmic plunge into eons of boundless darkness.
