Excerpt from Tales of the Moor The Cemetery. "Lead me to yonder craggy steep. The murmur of "the falling streams; the whistling winds rushing through "the woods of my hills; the welcome rays of the boun- "teous sun - will soon awake the voice of song in my "breast. The thoughts of former years glide over my "soul like swift-shooting meteors o'er Ardven's gloomy "vales." Ever-Allan. Among the hills of central Devonshire, There is a lonely forest burial-ground, Where, resting in their solitude, the dead Of many ages have returned to dust. In days long number'd with the past, 'tis thought There, in the centre of their hunting-grounds, The chasers of the red Deer fell asleep, And moulder'd into nothing, side by side; And the Moor-Shepherds gather'd to the fold Prepar'd for all our kindred of the earth, Ceas'd from their labours, and forgot their cares, This solitary city of the dead About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Moor Isles, Vol. 1: A Love Story One night, late in October, when it was pitch dark, moonless, starless, and black, a soft, moist westerly wind, with just a slant of south in it, was playing a wild but melodious symphony over the great stretches of moorland, and across milies of bleak northern country, as it came with a soft but tremendous rush up a rough, uphill road, and rising ever into a deeper roar, seemed to give a leap as it reached the summit of the long brow, and encountered a wild, upland sweep, over which it could and did tear rejoicingly, whistling, calling, and crying from hill to hill, till it struck the great blunt, square head of Ravenside, the huge buttress which at that point shuts off Lancashire from Yorkshire. Smiting this mighty hill-top, it ruffled the heather, and laid low the forests of bracken, which thickly clothed his mighty sides, and tried to soften the grim outline of his dark head, and then it tore lustily onwards. There was joy and hope and life in it, for all its boisterous roughness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • The imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of America—this "stunning [book] sheds light on all of the possible the New World exploration stories that didn’t make history” (Huffington Post). In these pages, Laila Lalami brings us the invented memoirs Mustafa al-Zamori, called Estebanico. The slave of a Spanish conquistador, Estebanico sails for the Americas with his master, Dorantes, as part of a danger-laden expedition to Florida. Within a year, Estebanico is one of only four crew members to survive. As he journeys across America with his Spanish companions, the Old World roles of slave and master fall away, and Estebanico remakes himself as an equal, a healer, and a remarkable storyteller. His tale illuminates the ways in which our narratives can transmigrate into history—and how storytelling can offer a chance at redemption and survival.
