Mollie's Tailpiece
Author: Christine M. Harris
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1911105191
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
Every Sunday, Mollie - a miniature dachshund - would attend Mass at Holy Trinity Church in Gosport with her owner, Christine Harris. Mollie had her own kneeler, received the blessing of St Francis from the priest and regarded it as her special duty to welcome newcomers to the church. She was also known to be partial to a quick puff of incense. Her fame spread throughout the town when - in 2008 after her ‘sister' Sascha died - she took over Sascha's column in the parish magazine. Written with gusto and an anarchic approach to life, Mollie’s Tailpiece tackled every subject under the sun, from meeting the bishop and processing with the choir, to playing in the snow and riding in the basket on the front of Christine’s bicycle, all with a delightful grasp of the art of the malapropism. This collection of Mollie’s columns perfectly captures her much-missed sense of fun and mischief.

Connemara Mollie
Author: Hilary Bradt
Publisher: Bradt Travel Guides
ISBN: 1841623865
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
An account of a journey through western Ireland made in 1984, fulfilling a childhood dream of a long-distance ride. The story centres on the growing bond between the author and her Connemara pony, Mollie and the many challenges that they face before the tragic conclusion in the mountains of Kerry. It is also a portrait of rural Ireland before the "Celtic Tiger" era, built up from conversations with the local people. The journey takes them through Counties Galway, Mayo, Clare and Kerry, the obstacles to their progress ranging from bogs, stone walls, and the River Shannon. "I've never tried hitchhiking with a horse before" comments the author. "It's not easy." She travelled with no set route, extending her backpacking knowledge acquired in the Andes to horse packing, "seeing the obvious advantage of climbing mountains on someone else's legs and using another's back for the packing."

Work and Win; Or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise
Author: Oliver Optic
Publisher: anboco
ISBN: 3736415168
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
IN the preparation of this volume, the author has had in his mind the intention to delineate the progress of a boy whose education had been neglected, and whose moral attributes were of the lowest order, from vice and indifference to the development of a high moral and religious principle in the heart, which is the rule and guide of a pure and true life. The incidents which make up the story are introduced to illustrate the moral status of the youth, at the beginning, and to develop the influences from which proceeded a gentle and Christian character. Mollie, the captain's daughter, whose simple purity of life, whose filial devotion to an erring parent, and whose trusting faith in the hour of adversity, won the love and respect of Noddy, was not the least of these influences. If the writer has not "moralized," it was because the true life, seen with the living eye, is better than any precept, however skilfully it may be dressed by the rhetorical genius of the moralist. Once more the author takes pleasure in acknowledging the kindness of his young friends, who have so favorably received his former works; and he hopes that "WORK AND WIN," the fourth of the Woodville Stories, will have as pleasant a welcome as its predecessors. WILLIAM T. ADAMS.

ISBN: 1732160295
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
This collection includes the first three books of the Mollie McGhie sailing mystery series. Check out this fun cozy mystery series with plenty of goofy humor, an adorable cat, and a reluctant sailor turned amateur sleuth. You’ll laugh out loud from start to finish following Mollie McGhie’s sailing adventures. Spoiler alert: You’ll seriously be craving chocolate by the time you finish reading! Book 1 – Murder at the Marina What would you do if your hubby got you the worst anniversary present ever? When Mollie’s husband, Scooter, presents her with a dilapidated sailboat for her anniversary, she’s less than impressed. When she discovers a dead body on board, things get even worse. Poking her nose in where it doesn't belong, Mollie finds herself drawn into the tight-knit community living at Palm Tree Marina in Coconut Cove, a small town on the Florida coast. She uncovers a crime ring dealing in stolen marine equipment, eats way too many chocolate bars, adopts a cat, and learns far more about sailing than she ever wanted to. Book 2 – Bodies in the Boatyard What would you do if your hubby announced that he wanted to sell your house, do some serious downsizing, and move onto a rundown sailboat? Scooter’s latest hare-brained scheme to move on-board their boat isn’t exactly Mollie’s dream come true. When someone is murdered in the boatyard, it becomes a total nightmare. Mollie takes matters into her own hands and investigates the mysterious death along with her adorable feline companion, Mrs. Moto. While she searches for clues, she meets more of the quirky characters who live in Coconut Cove, learns about sea turtles, overcomes her fear of public speaking, and, of course, eats way too many sugary treats. Book 3 – Poisoned by the Pier What would you do if your hubby decided that the two of you should go on an extreme diet? Mollie thought she had enough problems to deal with when her husband threw out all of her chocolate and junk food. But when someone is poisoned during a cake baking competition, she’s thrust into another murder investigation. While she tries to identify the killer, Coconut Cove’s annual boating festival is in full swing. In between getting ready for her first sailing race and cheating on her diet, Mollie and her cat, Mrs. Moto, uncover clues, interview suspects, and do their best to avoid rutabagas.
