Tales of the Strange and Wonderful
Author: David Kerr
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426926456
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Outside the box. Out of the mainstream. Tales of the Strange and Wonderful uncovers some of the strangest and most wonderful stories of the Bible and brings them to you as only an old turkey hunter can spin them. You will enjoy the stories you are about to read in this book. David Kerr has a wholesome, mischievous sense of humor with a creative insight reminiscent of those early homemade philosophers who have endeared themselves to American readers for over one-hundred-fifty years; although the earliest are seldom read much anymore. In these stories, you will find some long-familiar Biblical themes viewed from a different perspective, which sometimes embellishes, sometimes disturbs, but will bring a smile, if not a laugh. You will find that they come back to you in your thoughts. They are stories that can be read again and again. You will relate to the events, people, and activities included in this wonderfully witty collection of stories. From "The Witch of Endor" to "The Maniac of Gardara," they will enrich your life in surprising ways.

The Ghost
Author: Arnold Bennett
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
I am eight years older now. It had never occurred to me that I am advancing in life and experience until, in setting myself to recall the various details of the affair, I suddenly remembered my timid confusion before the haughty mien of the clerk at Keith Prowse's. I had asked him: "Have you any amphitheatre seats for the Opera to-night?" He did not reply. He merely put his lips together and waved his hand slowly from side to side. Not perceiving, in my simplicity, that he was thus expressing a sublime pity for the ignorance which my demand implied, I innocently proceeded: "Nor balcony?" This time he condescended to speak. "Noth-ing, sir." Then I understood that what he meant was: "Poor fool! why don't you ask for the moon?"
