Book Description
Stick throwing games were among the most popular entertainments at English fairs and racecourses throughout the 19th century and three were dominant. The origins and stories of these games are detailed in print for the first time. Victorian Aunt Sally burst upon Britain in 1858 due to a noble misadventure. It became a true national craze that soon spread to America before becoming extinct and forgotten on both sides of the Atlantic. Aunt Sally was reborn in a modern version in the early 20th century and thrives today as a regional treasure of Oxfordshire pubs. It would come to America again in the 1980s due to its association with an ancient dance.

Paladin
Author: Sally Slater

ISBN: 9780989463331
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
"Imagine Game of Thrones with less blood and more gender confusion and you get a taste of this knightly epic." -- The Guardian Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam of Haywood is the most promising Paladin trainee in the kingdom of Thule... and knows it. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she'll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home behind to fight demons---the most dangerous monsters in Thule---alongside the kingdom's elite warriors. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn't recognized her-yet-but if he does, he'll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Whether he can be trusted is anyone's guess, including his. As demons wreak havoc across the land, rebellion stirs in the West, led by a rival faction of warriors. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life-or just her heart?
