Pages : 200
Book Description
Here is a new book of ten short stories from the author of ALPHONSO GENTLE! TALES TIMES TEN will begin with the struggles of an up and coming young professional stage magician. We find him playing finders keepers as MISTER MAGIC here in Detroit. Next, in a TWINKLING OF AN EYE, we are a witness to one of those old time negotiations for a better life. After that, we visit a library of the future as a student requests THE DOCTOR CLARK FILES in order to study the taboo deviant sexual behavior of members of the Twentieth Century. Then we are invited into the thought process of an architect doing a little puzzle to kill time in HOLY CROSSWORD DOROTHY. This is followed by an examination of TACTILE UNDERSTANDING. Better than halfway through we are invited to the TECHTOWN BOOK CLUB. We barely close the book on this adventure when we are alerted to the din that comes from the LAND OF A THOUSAND CRIES. Back to the future we go now when the screams die down for a further learned examination of the state of SEX EDUCATION. Thoroughly briefed, after this, on study materials and classroom requirements, we then go SOLVING FOR X in the here and now. Finally, with all this said and done, we get out the handcuffs and go for our guns as we are very firmly affixing our SPIRITUAL SIGNATURE to this TALES TIMES TEN.

The Olden Time: Stories for Betty
Author: Elizabeth Hawley
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469111063
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
This project is based on the reminiscences of Elizabeth Hawley Bowen Everett (1857-1940). She originally compiled these stories, records, and reflections about her life and her family in response to curiosity expressed by her grand-daughter, Betty Bowen Hanes. Her collection is called, The Olden Time or Stories for Betty. As we immersed ourselves in this family’s history, we became convinced that the experiences of its various members represented those of countless Americans. Their participation in this country’s struggle for independence, the western migration, the establishment of towns on the prairie, in school teaching from Maine to Mississippi and Nebraska, make this story significant beyond its interest to the family’s descendents. In consequence, we made the decision to annotate the collection in an effort to aid the modern reader with obscure references and to provide some historical background. We have presented Elizabeth Hawley’s own work with only the slightest editing and occasional rearrangement, and we have clearly identified our additions as footnotes, by brackets or a change in typeface. Several observations should be mentioned here. The influence of New England culture on the prairie society is marked. The interest in education is attested by both the number of schools established in these small towns and the number of students who enrolled. Women and girls attended school as well as boys and young men. Women taught, even in male preparatory schools, and ran their own schools. Religion, in the form of protestant denominations, was a strong influence and along with it temperance societies. Little distinction was made among the various protestant traditions as long as the preaching was “faithful” and “effective,” for the church of one’s family might well be unrepresented in a new town. Customs of dress and manners were transported from New England along with the settlers. Land divisions took similar forms as did the governing bodies of townships. As a family history, this is an odyssey of school teachers. Their devotion to education is represented first in Maine, by The Reverend Reuben Nason’s Gorham Academy, now located on the campus of the University of Southern Maine, and finally, at the end of the western journey, by the presence of the family home facing the campus of the University of Nebraska. There were teachers in each generation, both men and women, in preparatory schools and seminaries from Maine and New York to Mississippi, Iowa, and Nebraska and, beginning with Reuben Nason’s graduation from Harvard in 1802, students at Bowdoin and Dartmouth Colleges, at the University of Illinois and finally the University of Nebraska, where the young Hawleys studied. We offer this collection of memories, stories, and anecdotes to all who are interested in this period of American history and to the descendents of these hardy folk.

Trolls
Author: Brian Froud
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1613124015
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
The internationally acclaimed artists & authors are your personal guides to the enchanted world of Trolls in this book of troll tales and culture. Not since Brian Froud’s conceptual design work with Jim Henson on the classic films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth has he created a faerie world with such imagination, dimension, depth, and detail. Trolls opens a new realm in the celebrated faerie worlds of famed artists Brian and Wendy Froud, renowned for their vast and personal knowledge of faeries, goblins, and other folk. Through their art, sculptures, and stories, the Frouds take you on a wonderous adventure into the world of trolls. Trolls live through the telling of tales and the passing on of stories, weaving them together, then letting them flow separately again, as streams, rivers, tree roots, and branches do. Stories, as they are collected, are tied to a troll’s tail: “A tale for the asking, the giving, the keeping.” Trolls includes stories of stone and bone, wood and feather, along with tale fragments, snippets of stories to be told in full down the road or ones that have been lost and are to be remembered again. Interspersed among the stories are troll customs, philosophies, and practices: How many kinds of trolls are there? Where do they live, and what do they like to eat? Why do some trolls father together while others seek solitude? Troll lore is interwoven with a vast treasure of artifacts and symbols of their world, from the wind knot to the Petrified Parsnip Poetry Pen, from the witch’s cursing bundle to the elusive Earthling Gift. Your journey through Trolls will reveal many mysteries, wonder, and enchantments, and there are no better guides for your adventure than Brian and Wendy Froud.
