Redwall books7/4/2023 However, there are two phases when the Redwall book series was published chronologically. Despite the fact that there is a timeline in the Redwall book series, the book has been placed in absolutely different order from the manner in which they were written. Some of the books in the Redwall book series focus on characters who in some other installments are historical figures. Instead, the book series covers several periods of the history of Redwall, the world which is made up of Mossflower Woods, a land that is referred to as Southsward and surrounding islands as well. With that said, the Redwall book series does not chronicle any specific timeframe. The final book in the series and the 22 novels as well, The Rogue Crew, was released on May 3, 2011. The Redwall book series has a total of 22 novels and 2 picture books as well. It is also the name of Abbey who was featured in the series as well as the name of the animated television series that were based on three novels, Martin the Warrior, Mattimeo and Redwall, which were first aired in the year 1999. Redwall is also the first book in the Redwall book series, which was published in the year 1986. Redwall is a fantasy book series by Brian Jacques.

He was also (apparently) the seventh son of a seventh son - a sure sign that he should be carrying the requisite clairvoyance in his genetic makeup, though the text of the manuscript retains an ambiguity as to whether Kirk considered himself to have the second sight, or whether all his information came from other sources.Ī year after penning The Secret Commonwealth, his body was found on the Faerie Knowe (Doon Hill) at Aberfoyle, a hill he frequented often in life, perhaps to consort with the faeries whose customs he describes in the book. Kirk was the church minister at Aberfoyle in the southern Highlands of Scotland from 1685 to his death at age 48 in 1692. So, who was Robert Kirk, why was he writing about supernatural races on earth at the end of the 17th century, and what happened to him? The Strange Fate of Robert Kirk Much of the discussion in his text centers around people with the 'second sight', An Dà Shealladh in Gaelic, and their ability to sense the faerie world, which was apparently occupying the same space as consensus reality, but would only interact with it under special circumstances.Īugust Malmström - Dancing Faeries (1866) ( Public Domain ) When read carefully, the text of his 1691 manuscript describing the faeries of Aberfoyle, Scotland gives many clues as to the reality of what he calls the Subterraneans, and how people were able to perceive them and interact with them. Robert Kirk and his Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Faeries is very peculiar.

Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. "My golly, but I just can't tell you people just how very much that I wish Uncle Bob had written the screenplay for my very first movie, Julius Caeser!" - Charlton Heston (or some fellow that looked just like Charlton Heston if you squinted around an eyeful of powdered glass and Pop Rocks) Read moreĮverybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. Or - in the words of Uncle Bob - this here is mostly the truth with only a few lies stirred into the broth for pepper. Means he takes some liberties with the Gospel. The fact is this is the story of the Book of Exodus as retold by a country gentleman who read the Bible a couple of times and is doing his level best to retell it in his own words. In fact, I guarantee a giggle or two along the way. This isn't exactly a solemn retelling of the Bible. This is the whole entire story of the Book of Exodus and several books thereafter, encompassing the entire lifespan of Moses himself - as told to you by the world's oldest storyteller, Uncle Bob. All right - so if you enjoyed UNCLE BOB'S RED FLANNEL BIBLE CAMP - THE BOOK OF GENESIS, then you are going to LOVE this next book in the series.

Tochi onyebuchi goliath7/4/2023 He had thanked each and every Cassandra, noted that he would heed their advice, but inwardly, he was grinning. The land was red and burning where he was headed, and if he were not careful, he’d burn too. People who knew people he knew offered their numbers and their contacts, so that once Jonathan arrived, he could pass word of his safe landing. Their crimes, their violence, their predilections grew more and more specific, the anecdotes spawning increasingly specific limbs until Jonathan was made to believe that he could discern the very contours of the lusus naturae waiting for him in New Haven. The admonitions were grave and ominous every time they issued from someone’s mouth, but the closer he came to the frontier, the grimmer the admonition. Before his flight to Earth, they had warned Jonathan about the “gangs.” Even at the Stamford Station where his shuttle had docked, even on the bullet train that spirited him north past brick apartment buildings and houses with gables and turrets, manicured lawns, circular drives, bay windows, even past the shorefront homes of South Norwalk with sailboats parked on the sand or tethered to metal docks fashioned to look as though they were made out of peeling wood, made to look as though they had been there forever, past the kayaks and the fountains and the parks populated by poplars and willow trees, they warned him about the gangs.

Amarna by Grea Alexander7/4/2023 Behold, even in the terrible deafening silence of their abandonment, the gods had never been more clear. Either the prophecy is fulfilled and both Egypt & Hatti find salvation or Mursili and his allies fail - plunging both kingdoms into indescribable darkness. Hell hath no fury like a spider caught in its own web. Yet, with those closest to him being sacrificed in the process and the tide continuing to rise against them, how far is King Mursili prepared to go to see the prophecy fulfilled? King Mursili II’s only hope to restore his own Hittite Kingdom to greatness is to restore the Amarna line to power in Egypt, to atone for the sins of his father. Queen Ankhe has but one hope to maintain her hold on the throne - an alliance with the Hittites. The ambitious vipers Ay and Horemheb are nipping at her heels in their bid to seize power. His wife, Queen Ankhesenamen, is left without a male heir. The last living male descendant of the Amarna line, Pharaoh Tutankhamun, has died suddenly under mysterious circumstances. This compilation edition includes all three books in the Amarna Series: Ida, Hawara & Raia. "An impressively ingenious reframing of the chaotic domino effect caused by King Tut's death & the tantalizing possibility of his line's survival."

Shakespeare by Bill Bryson7/3/2023 Or see the way he describes the Bard in his middle-age as well-off but ‘scarcely a titan of finance’. His Shakespeare is like no one else's-the beneficiary of Bryson's genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time. He has a wonderful way with words of Shakespeare’s most productive period, Bryson writes: ‘One after another, plays of unrivalled majesty dropped from his quill’. Emulating the style of his famous travelogues, Bryson records episodes in his research, including a visit to a bunkerlike room in Washington, D.C., where the world's largest collection of First Folios is housed.īryson celebrates Shakespeare as a writer of unimaginable talent and enormous inventiveness, a coiner of phrases ("vanish into thin air," "foregone conclusion," "one fell swoop") that even today have common currency. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself.īryson documents the efforts of earlier scholars, from today's most respected academics to eccentrics like Delia Bacon, an American who developed a firm but unsubstantiated conviction that her namesake, Francis Bacon, was the true author of Shakespeare's plays. Bill Brysons Shakespeare pairs one of historys most celebrated writers with one of the most popular writers in the English language today. William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts.

As the spirit is deserted by his capacity to scare, Virginia, the Otises' daughter, gets to know him and learns the tragic tale behind his sad fate.Sparkling with his trademark wit, this classic tale is one of Oscar Wilde's finest stories and is presented here with three other comic mystery stories, 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime', 'The Sphinx without a Secret' and 'The Model Millionaire', all of which were first published together in 1891. However, the ghost struggles to intimidate his new victims, as they counter his ghoulish behaviour with typically transatlantic pragmatism, offering lubricator for his chains and cleaning up the stains with detergent. Their disbelief is soon shattered by the nightly sound of rattling chains in the hallways and the appearance of mysterious bloodstains in the living room.
