Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1959, this book has been read by (or read to) three generations of children.

It traveled with the author from Reading, Pennsylvania to Grand Rapids, Michigan, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Dayton and Portsmouth, Ohio and back to Fort Wayne. It was finally published in 2001. This is a mystery for young adults (from 9 to 90). The story involves five siblings who move into a summer house that has been vacant for years. It is dissipated, looks spooky, even haunted. Strange things begin to happen, and a mystery begins to unfold. Muddy footprints on the porch, voices in the night, and a trap door to the attic that closes by itself, convince the five children something is definitely wrong. Are they in danger? they wonder as they try to solve the mystery of the red-brick house.
Download or read book The Cellar written by Ed Jacobs and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if you were a soldier in 1916, found an enemy nurse in a Pozières cellar with constant artillery attacks and the danger of death ever present? Would you trust them not to kill you? Would you rescue them? Or leave them behind while you escaped? Many moral and ethical questions are raised by the author over the course of the book. The interactions with military bureaucrats were understandably not always friendly to a possible enemy agent from 1916 to 1918 when the book is set. Ed Jacobs has written a story based on his great uncle Martin’s role in World War 1 and using his own military experience and thorough research to imagine a war story with a complex romance. A What if...story around an Australian Staff Sergeant and a German nurse Kerstin who he rescues and becomes close to over the ensuing ordeals of injury, hardship and divided loyalties. Would it be possible to love the enemy and plan a life together and...where would that be and what obstacles would they face? The visceral horror of the trenches, constant death and destruction can be felt through vivid description and is contrasted with the beauty of a place untouched by war and a return to some sort of a normal life in France and England while Martin recovers from injury. Anyone interested in the First World War and particularly the events around Pozières will find this book of great interest. The added dimension of two people caught between opposing forces provides human interest to balance the horrors of war.

Download or read book Northwold Manor Reborn written by Warwick Rodwell and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a fascinating, superbly illustrated, account by one of the UK's leading architectural historians, of the history, dereliction and restoration of a complex, originally Tudor, manor house. Northwold Manor is a multi-period listed building (grade II*), about which almost nothing was known. Uninhabited since 1955, it had fallen into a state of extreme dereliction, and was beyond economic repair when the author purchased the property in 2014. He and his wife, Diane Gibbs, embarked on a major restoration that ran for nine years. The restoration was carried out as a quasi-archaeological operation, revealing that the building complex had Tudor origins, followed by the construction of a Stuart house, with Georgian improvements, and a new entertaining suite added in 1814. The Manor, with its fine drawing room, ballroom and orangery, was the grandest house in Northwold, and research into the families that occupied it revealed unexpected connections to the French Bourbon Court. From the 17th to the 20th century, the Carters were the principal owners, and a local branch of the family included Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamens tomb. This account begins with a topographical study of Northwold and its three medieval manors, followed by an exploration of the decline of the Carter family in the late 19th century. That triggered the break-up of the Northwold Estate in 1919. Passing through several ownerships, the Manor was earmarked for demolition in 1961; reprieved, it became a furniture store in the 1970s, and every room was solidly packed. As the roofs failed and water poured in, ceilings and floors collapsed, carrying with them the stacks of rotting furniture. By the late 1990s, walls and gables were collapsing too, and the local authority attempted to intervene. A long struggle to save the Manor ensued, finally ending with compulsory purchase in 2013. Although manor houses occur in most English parishes, they have received surprisingly little archaeological study. Every year, hundreds are restored or altered, but rarely accompanied by detailed recording or scholarly research; and popular television programs reveal the shameful level of destruction that takes place in the name of restoration. This is a book like no other: the holistic approach to the rehabilitation of Northwolds derelict manor house involving history, archaeology, architecture and genealogy demonstrates how much can be learned about a building that had never before been studied. The project has received several awards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÿA young guy named Jack Hong hitchhikes throughout America following the keilin, a mystical unicorn out of Chinese mythology. The keilin leads him to ten adventures with ghosts and other supernatural figures. These experiences reveal to him not only parts of American history he never knew, but also his own identity and the role he will choose for his life. ~~~~~ Description ~~~~~ The moonlight was still strong, and Lo Man Gong still sat up on the overhead window, where few people and no old men could ever get.?Feel better, Chinaman?? he asked mildly.The night before, my resistance had been low, and his presence had somehow seemed tolerable, if not rational. Now I was more clear-headed ... yet he was still here. I didn?t like him as much.I let my eyes drop closed again. Once I was cured of malaria, I?d be free of him. I had eaten twice today; now, if I slept well, I?d be in sound shape pretty soon.?You know the keilin, Chinaman Jack??That was the Chinese unicorn, a mystical animal whose rare appearances were highly auspicious. In the Cantonese I normally heard, it was pronounced ?keilun.? It wasn?t like European ones, though. This unicorn had the body of a deer, the hooves of a horse, the tail of an ox, and a fleshy horn. I knew that much.?The unicorn?? I opened my eyes and looked at him. As before, the moonlight glowed through his shape.?Ah, you know the keilin. He smiled and nodded thoughtfully. ?The keilin means good things happen. It?s very powerful.?I watched him silently.After a while, he looked into my eyes again. ?Nobody remember me, Jack. Some people remember, some of my frien?. A few of them. Most, nobody remember at all. No children, no relative. You, Jack. You like me. Unless you change.?Yes, I knew that. I had already come to understand that. And I knew that he had come for me, here in the middle of the country, away from his home as longtime Californ?. But I didn?t know why.
