Book Description
Twenty young lobsters graduating from Lobster School emerge from the depths of the Gulf of Maine. They colonize the “Black Rocks,” three small rocky islands a quarter of a mile off York Harbor Beach. They are very excited, as they are free for the first time from parental supervision. Disaster strikes the following morning when they realize that Lancelot Lobster is missing. He is always ravenous and they assume that, despite all the warnings in school, Lancelot might have been tempted to enter a lobster trap. Their adventures begin: a dramatic rescue, a lobster hunter, a mussel-eating fox, smugglers, shipwrecks, a ghost circus, submarines, lobster boat races, a misunderstanding in a lobster bar, and the heroic rescue of an entrapped whale.

ISBN: 9780995137813
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Exploring the lobster's biology and its history in language, literature and gastronomy, The Lobster's Tale navigates the perils of a life driven by overreaching ambition and the appetite for knowledge, conquest and commerce. In conversation with the text, Bruce Foster's photographs navigate a parallel course of shadows and light, in which the extraordinary textures and colours of the natural world tell a darker story. The Lobster's Tale is a meditation on the quest for immortality on which both artists and scientists have embarked, and the unhappy consequences of the attempt to both conquer nature and create masterpieces. Meanwhile, below the waterline of text and images, a modest voice can be overheard whispering an alternative to these narratives of heroic and doomed exploration.The Lobster's Tale brings together award-winning writer Chris Price and distinguished photographer Bruce Foster. It is the third in the korero series of 'picture books' edited by Lloyd Jones, written and made for grown-ups and designed to showcase leading New Zealand writers and artists working together in a collaborative and dynamic way.

The Kid Looks Back-Short Stories & Tall Tales
Author: Ritchie R. Moorhead
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1463408463
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
The Kid Looks Back is a collection of sixty-eight stories that cover a wide range of topics. I hope that his book will be a gentle hiding place where you can go to get away from something, return to something or go where you have never been. Some of these stories are true. Others are factually true, although bit embellished. Others are outright fabrications. Most look back to a kinder, mellower time. Digging for worms, swimming in a pond, using an outhouse or wading in a river may bring gross evaluations from our urbanized cousins. I hope that this book introduces them to life with a smile. Most of the stories have a message. Many are simply humorous. Entertainment is the motive. Carefree is the mood. Try to find yourself within these pages. May the beak of reality crack your comfort shell. Start anywhere. Finish anytime. Enjoy!
