The Lost Tudor Princess
Author: Alison Weir
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0099546469
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
"Alison Weir is one of our best popular historians and one, moreover, with an impressive scholarly pedigree in Tudor history." --Frank McLynn, Independent Royal Tudor blood ran in her veins. Her mother was a queen, her father an earl, and she herself was the granddaughter, niece, cousin and grandmother of monarchs. Some thought she should be queen of England. She ranked high at the court of her uncle, Henry VIII, and was lady of honour to five of his wives. Beautiful and tempestuous, she created scandal, not just once, but twice, by falling in love with unsuitable men. Fortunately, the marriage arranged for her turned into a love match. Throughout her life her dynastic ties to two crowns proved hazardous. A born political intriguer, she was imprisoned in the Tower of London on three occasions, once under sentence of death. She helped to bring about one of the most notorious royal marriages of the sixteenth century, but it brought her only tragedy. Her son and her husband were brutally murdered, and there were rumours that she herself was poisoned. She warred with two queens, Mary of Scotland and Elizabeth of England. A brave survivor, she was instrumental in securing the Stuart succession to the throne of England for her grandson. Her story deserves to be better known. This is the biography of an extraordinary life that spanned five Tudor reigns, a life packed with intrigue, drama and tragedy.

Mouse Tracks
Author: Tim Hollis
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 9781617034336
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Around the world there are grandparents, parents, and children who can still sing ditties by Tigger or Baloo the Bear or the Seven Dwarves. This staying power and global reach is in large part a testimony to the pizzazz of performers, songwriters, and other creative artists who worked with Walt Disney Records. Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records chronicles for the first time the fifty-year history of the Disney recording companies launched by Walt Disney and Roy Disney in the mid-1950s, when Disneyland Park, Davy Crockett, and the Mickey Mouse Club were taking the world by storm. The book provides a perspective on all-time Disney favorites and features anecdotes, reminiscences, and biographies of the artists who brought Disney magic to audio. Authors Tim Hollis and Greg Ehrbar go behind the scenes at the Walt Disney Studios and discover that in the early days Walt Disney and Roy Disney resisted going into the record business before the success of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" ignited the in-house label. Along the way, the book traces the recording adventures of such Disney favorites as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella, Bambi, Jiminy Cricket, Winnie the Pooh, and even Walt Disney himself. Mouse Tracks reveals the struggles, major successes, and occasional misfires. Included are impressions and details of teen-pop princesses Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills, the Mary Poppins phenomenon, a Disney-style "British Invasion," and a low period when sagging sales forced Walt Disney to suggest closing the division down. Complementing each chapter are brief performer biographies, reproductions of album covers and art, and facsimiles of related promotional material. Mouse Tracks is a collector's bonanza of information on this little-analyzed side of the Disney empire. Learn more about the book and the authors at www.mousetracksonline.com.

What secret lurks beneath the mind of Azzure Pleasant?

Will she complete the require mission and get the rewards promised her? Take the journey with Azzure and her son Graxseiv into the secret realms where no man dares to go.

Magical whooshing sound of 'Welcome' echoes through the thin veil in a tone of musical notes, as a multicolored robe mysteriously appears on Azzure's body... as well as a multicolored slipper. After she grabs a set of seven keys, Azzure encounters a wonder world of giants, ghosts and colorful skies. ___________________________________ Excerpt After informing the staff not to disturb them under any circumstance, they arrived upstairs after Graxseiv cleaned up the broken glasses and spilled orange juice. Behind the clothes-rack, stood a hidden room with soundproof steel walls, a computer, two expensive surveillance cameras, and one hundred percent guaranteed protection. Azzure carried her briefcase and plunked it on the table, flipping it open. She pulled out the letter she had shown to her daughter-in-law before they left for the trip downtown ― then she grabbed the gold framed diploma that said: With These Magical Gifts Joyously Created Azzure Pleasant Invites all men to Onque's Academy of Multicolored Kingdom as students interested in learning to bring forth their hidden powers at their own pace for one hour until completion Brother of the Ninth Degree in the Onqueian Brotherhood Welcome Graxseiv let the words settle into his mind. Then, he saw the presents his mother had waited twenty-four years to give to him ― magically materializing. He was speechless. His hands started shaking. Rainbow colored rays suddenly appeared at the tip of his fingers, each merging. Until it took on a crescent-shaped curve, that landed on the floor, and caused him to jump back in shock. Graxseiv noticed his mother staring at him, and felt his eyes glancing at her jaws, which had dropped. An antique gold mirror had suddenly popped up in front of him, Graxseiv gawked at the rainbow colored halo overshadowing his head ― and stared at his physical body, which had taken on a form, entirely different from what he looked like a few minutes earlier. He was transparent, like a dark shadow lurking behind human beings from the shining sun at high noon.
