As the narrators cautioned Marie Campbell again and again, "Tale-telling is nigh about faded out in the mountain country," but Tales from the Cloud Walking Country offers a lasting record of history, cultural heritage, language, and good old-fashioned fun. Readers will recognize the story of Snow White in "A Stepchild That Was Treated Mighty Bad," while "Three Shirts and a Golden Finger Ring" recalls the fairy tale of the Seven Swans. Based on stories rooted in European traditions from German fairy tales to Irish hero stories to Greek myths, the tales had been handed down through generations of telling before Marie Campbell collected them in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Description: Assembled here are seventy-eight stories from six of the "ballad-singingest, tale-tellingest" residents of the eastern Kentucky mountain country. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Raymond feist magician![]() Tomas follows a dark path in an attempt to become a warrior of legend, while Pug is, of course, the eponymous magician. ![]() Magician is ultimately a tale of two boys, Pug and Tomas, as the war in their kingdom forces them to leave their humble beginnings and embark on adventures that will change them both forever. So, without further ado, here are my thoughts on Magician, book one of the Riftwar Saga. ![]() It’s now been more than eight years since I first read Magician, and I’m really keen to revisit a series of which I have so many fond memories, and which captivated my imagination at a time when elves and dwarves and magic were still relatively new to me. Since then I seem to have more or less left Feist behind me. ![]() For several months I proceeded to chain-read most of the then-published novels in his Riftwar cycle – beginning, of course, with Magician – before moving on to discover other authors. ![]() This is when a friend introduced me to the works of Raymond E. I first discovered ‘grown up’ fantasy fiction at the age of twelve, when I first read Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. However, it wasn’t until I was seventeen that I realised – shock horror! – that there were authors other than Tolkien writing for this genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I never saw a heavier-built muskrats’ house than that one.”ĩ. “The colder the winter will be, the thicker the muskrats build the walls of their houses,” Pa told Laura. Looking at a muskrat house - that the animals build out of mud - will tell you what the winter is going to be like.

When one night of having a drink (or ten) with friends goes horribly, and perhaps predictably, wrong at a haunted house, the Doyles find themselves in a situation beyond belief.Ĭreated in 2005 by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, The Thrilling Adventure Hour is both a popular Hollywood stage show and podcast that pays homage to the timeless Hollywood radio serials. Based on the wildly popular Hollywood stage show and podcast, Frank and Sadie Doyle are the toast of the upper crust – headliners on the society pages…and they see ghosts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her mother had begun to hear the voice of her younger brother Clyde, who was killed in the Vietnam War. While she believes she “finally answered” (9) the momentous question of death, her run-in with Sylvia on the subway back to Brooklyn leads her to think back to the friendships she has not finished mourning.Īugust reflects on her past: at 8 years old in 1973, she moved with her father and brother from SweetGrove, Tennessee to Bushwick, Brooklyn. ![]() Meanwhile, August eats bacon (contradictory to Islam mores) and takes solace in her training. While the two were close as children, they have now grown apart: her brother is a devout member of the Nation of Islam and is expecting his first child with his wife Alafia he takes comfort in Allah. The novel begins in the early 2000s, when August meets up with her brother after her father’s funeral. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Shadow Rise by Audrey Grey![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I received this via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review – this does not implicate my views on the book. So, as part of the fact that I seem to request sequels to read and review, this review is based on the fact that I have not read book 1 of the series. If you like enemies-to-lovers romance, high-octane action, and epic themes of good versus evil, you’ll binge this rollercoaster of emotions late into the night! Lose and the world burns.ĭare to enter the gritty world of Shadow Fall where tyrants rule, misfits reign, and anti-heroes are tasked with saving the world.

The main difference is, as I see it, the presence of fantasy in GoT. The wives of two king sons cheat on their husbands, which lead to the fight for who should actually claim the the throne after Iron King is gone.Īlso, the english queen cheats on her husband and takes part in murder of Edward the II. The Iron King, the main hero of the first book, dies at the end of the first book. ![]() The principle "Everybody dies", which GoT is famous for, perfectly fits for AkK: This is the sixth in the series of Accursed Kings novels set in 14th century France (the Lily) against the backdrop of an unstable monarchy and war with England (the Lion). Now, The Accursed Kings tells us a story about the French kingdom in XIV century, and the battle for the throne between several branches of the ruling dinasty.

From marinated carrot sticks to sweet-and-sour tuna steaks, Trapani style, to tortellini with fish stuffing and polenta shortcake with raisins, dried figs and pine nuts, the outstanding recipes-many of them poetically simple-are too numerous to do justice to in few words. ![]() A revision and update of her two previous ``classic'' Italian cookbooks (with more than 35 completely new recipes), this one includes recipes not ``in pursuit of novelty, but of taste.'' As Hazan puts it, the book ``is meant to be used as a kitchen handbook. ![]() ![]() In the language of cookbooks, the word ``classic'' is bandied about nearly as frequently as the terms ``low-fat'' and ``no-cholesterol.'' In this case, however, the estimable Hazan ( More Classic Italian Cooking ) does indeed contribute a classic to the ever-increasing literature of Italian cuisine. ![]() |
