Pages : 17
Book Description
Fairies are real, and they're all around us! Award-winning author-illustrator Phoebe Wahl offers a fanciful and beautifully illustrated peek into the hidden world of fairies, sprites, and other magical creatures. A girl searches for fairies in her backyard and the woods beyond, following little clues and traces of magic. Fairies and other magical creatures can be found on every page, hidden among the flowers, trees and pebbles. But although readers can see them, the girl keeps searching, just one step behind... In the end, it is clear (both to the girl and readers) that there is magic all around, even when it's hidden in plain sight. Phoebe Wahl takes us deep into the world of fairies, and her vibrant, multi-textured woodland scenes are every bit as enchanting as the creatures therein. A gorgeously illustrated paean to imagination and the natural world. "Delightful . . . This gently magical outing will appeal not only to longtime lovers of European folklore, but also to fans of the popular "fairy door" phenomenon."--Kirkus Reviews

It Finally Happened

ISBN: 1503569691
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This science fiction book took me over twenty years to do. This book never had a beginning, and it really had no purpose. It was a dream that I had, and I just wrote it down. It was years later when I went on Facebook and, being very outspoken, said a few things that were on my mind, and I should have kept my big mouth shut. And for that, I hurt a girl who, I believed, I kiss in first grade. When I went to my class reunion, I saw a person, and she said she was nobody and she looked straight in my face. Maybe she wasnt, or maybe she was the one. It was in the next class reunion when I asked a classmate if this person was there. I only gave the first name because I did not know the last name. She gave the name, and I was in tears. I did my research, and I found the one. I made an apology to her, and she might have said it was worth two cents and a crinkle piece of paper. So I made my story science fiction, non fiction, romance, fantasy, and humor I included all when I talked about this girl in the beginning. I made a promise to her that I will not say or make any words to reflect her name on my Facebook page, nor will I do it here. I dont want to put a strain on her marriage. The second book, it might not talk about the girl, but the third or the last book, I dont know yet if it will be about her. I hope I can change the ending. Either way, with the ending, it wont be what you expect, but I gave a little clue in the end of this book. The second book does not say.

Tales of the New World
Author: Sabina Murray
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802195059
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
“Brilliant [and] masterly explorations of bitter, terrifying truths” populate this New York Times Editor’s Choice short story collection (The Boston Globe). In her first collection of stories since her PEN/Faulkner-winning The Caprices, Sabina Murray confronts some stark truths about the most intrepid—and brutal—pioneers of the last four millennia. These legendary explorers and settlers are made intimately human as they charge headlong past the boundaries of their worlds to give shape to modern geography, philosophy, and science. . . . As Ferdinand Magellan sets out on his final voyage, he forms an unlikely friendship with a rich scholar who harbors feelings for the captain, but in the end cannot save Magellan from his own greed. Balboa’s peek at the South Sea may never have happened if it wasn’t for his loyal and vicious dog, Leonico, and an unavoidable urge to relieve himself. And Captain Zimri Coffin is plagued by sleepless nights after reading Frankenstein—until his crew rescues two shipwrecked Englishmen who carry rumor of a murderous white whale lurking in the ocean depths. In this volume of “riveting . . . unsettling, lavish stories,” Sabina Murray investigates the complexities of faith, the lure of the unknown, and the elusive mingling of history and legend (O, The Oprah Magazine).
