Book Description
The Sodmire Rats is a comic fantasy with a cast of thousands and a plot more twisted than a Celtic torc. Set in 1987 but told in flash forward from AD 61, it chronicles three days in the life of unassuming Henry Kite, who, unaware that he has travelled two thousand years backwards in time, finds himself sharing a campfire with scantily clad and unnervingly sexy Celtic warrior, Blossom Dart, cocky little Ancient Briton and Roman army deserter, Titus Plebius, and a masked figure in a hooded robe. Three days earlier, says the figure, Henry came unwittingly into possession of a powerful artefact as he was preparing for a holiday on Dartmoor, and from the moment he left home he was pursued by armed robbers, hired assassins, drunken vigilantes, a homicidal burning man and a B-list of mythological characters, one of whom could just be the love of his life.

Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
An excellent introduction to the remarkable rat, written by the world-famous Rat Lady, Debbie Ducummum, Rats offers expert advice to all keepers of these popular fancy pets. Held in high regard in Ancient Egypt, major Asian societies, and discriminating homes in America, rats are the most intelligent rodent on the planet and enjoy playing games with their keepers. As with all editions in the Complete Care Made Easy series, Rats offers readers information about selecting the right pets from good sources and acquiring all of the home essentials (for rats: cage, toys, bedding, and furnishings). The book discusses food options and the importance of feeding a rat a healthy, low-cal, low-fat diet based on fruits, veggies, and legumes plus recipes and menu tips. The author also covers the important considerations of rat proofing the home for keepers who opt to give their pets free run of their dwellings. The chapter “Beginning Your Friendship” discusses rat socialization, handling, grooming, cleaning, and interactions with children and other pets. The health of a pet rat is covered in the “Health Care” chapter that includes choosing a veterinarian, the first vet visit, spaying/neutering, the weekly health exam, plus handling common rat maladies and dealing parasites and emergencies. The real f-u-n begins in chapter seven, “Fun Activities,” in which the reader can learn how to train his or her rat to walk on a leash, enrich his rat’s life with entertaining games, and learn party tricks to impress visitors to the rat’s home. True rat lovers will enjoy taking their rats to shows—just like dog shows—to show off their rat’s conformation and natural beauty. The chapter “Show Time” offers advice on preparing for shows, classes at shows, and competing for ribbons. The final chapter on breeding offers rat enthusiasts advice about reproduction, the birthing process, and handling pups. Glossary, appendices, and index included.
