Book Description
‘Angels look down from on high. Watching carefully over those they are appointed to protect, they silently lead us through times of trial, shaping us into the people we are destined to be. Their words soothe, comfort, guide and cajole us. Elephants store the memories of a lifetime, wordlessly documenting all that has been, never forgetting the smallest detail or emotion. They are the great record-keepers, remembering everything exactly as it was. The recollections they hold enable us to become better people, to grow and learn, to develop and improve. As I write, a pandemic rages across the globe. It snuffs out precious lives before their time and yet permits wildlife to flourish in once busy cities. Lockdowns tear loved ones apart but communities rally together as never before. In moments of great loss and heartbreak, poems can soothe and comfort and give form to silent emotions and difficult memories. May the angels keep their careful watch, guiding your footsteps and carrying you when you fall. May the elephants remember your joys and document your progress and may the verses in this book soothe your soul and lift your spirit.’ Valerie Gascoyne

Book Description
Lucy, Ricardo and their friends face their deadliest mission, with the fate of Telares in their hands. Lucy turned to Carlos, who was breathing raggedly and limping on his injured leg. She reached out her hand, and as he took it felt a jolt of electric energy that made her sway. She closed her eyes and held tight as her mind opened to his. She tasted fear, grief and anger - and then, as Carlos took a breath, something new: acceptance, and with another breath, elation. She opened her tiger eyes and the growl in her chest became a roar to match his. Together, the two tigers sprang to help their friends. This is the third and final book in the dazzling Telares trilogy, following Through the Tiger's Eye and By the Monkey's Tail. Praise for Kerrie O'Connor's writing 'Exceptionally vivid and will delight children of all ages.' The Age

Book Description
The 30 Trials of Ix and the Angels follows Ix Pantheos from his awakening in a ruined castle through his travels to the moon, the sun, and beyond, carried along by the songs of thirty angels as they initiate him into the mysteries of consciousness and the nature of existence. The answer seemingly found and the journey apparently nearing its end, Ix then finds that he must suffer the destruction of his former self, and face a new struggle to hold onto all that was revealed to him. Born of a series of meditations performed by the author, and utilizing an eclectic mix of various world religious and occult philosophies, the story is a surreal journey into the depths of the mind, echoing Ix's own quest to redeem both himself and mankind. While it stands alone as an engaging read for those unacquainted with the various schools of inquiry that comprise the fertile field within which it took root, it retains that symbolism which may prove insightful to like-minded readers who find themselves treading its obscure paths.

Book Description
"The myth of the toad king is an important one for the Thai/Lao people, who have been faced with drought year in and year out, and it celebrates the battle victory of a human king, Phya Khankhaak, over the rain god, Phya Thaen. The story begins with the installation onto the throne and the recognition of Phya Khankhaak as a meritorious and just king by all creatures in the universe. Such an occurrence so humiliates Phya Thaen that he wields his power and lashes his great wrath on earth with drastic drought and hellish fire. Lucid and vivid descriptions of Phya Khankhaak's army and battle against Phya Thaen form the major part of the story. After the triumph of the human king over the god, Phya Thaen is forced to send down the rain seasonably to earth until the final destruction of earth arrives." "The translation is designed to be readable and accurate, as well as to convey the original cadences and nuances in the English translation. To accomplish such goals, translator Wajuppa Tossa assumes the roles of both a medium and a storyteller. The text is illustrated with intricate line drawings of mythical creatures and characters as well as scenes alluded to in the narrative." "Adding to the reader's appreciation of the significance of the myth in Thai culture are a summary of the story, notes on the translation, a biographical sketch of the late scribe, his writing samples, elegiac poems sung at his wake, and Isan geographical and historical backgrounds."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
World War I began disastrously for the English when the Germans routed them at Mons, Belgium, on August 23 and 24, 1914. On September 29, 1914, the Anglo-Welsh writer Arthur Machen fictionalized this encounter in a newspaper story, claiming that the English were saved by the appearance of angelic bowmen sent by St. George. But his fiction became accepted as fact. The believers--notables G. K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle and C. S. Lewis, along with almost forgotten figures like Harold Begbie, Phyllis Campbell and T. W. H. Crosland--wrote pamphlets, testimonies and poems, performed music and created motion pictures attesting to the existence of the guardian angels. This history of the Angels of Mons controversy for the first time collects and annotates Machen's work and the responses it inspired, most of which have not been available since their publication a century ago. Also reprinted for the first time are several of Machen's responses to the believers, including "The Angels of Mons: Absolutely My Last Word on the Subject" and "The Return of the Angels: This Time They Are at Ypres."
