Ranging from subtle to striking, a unique illustrative style accompanies every story." - Skipping Stones, Bookshelf, Sept-Oct 2013 *** "This anthology is a delightful collection of children's folktales of the Arabian Gulf region. Its stories are beautifully rendered into English and should be of interest to readers of all ages." - World Literature Today, November 2013

Ghosts Murder Mayhem A Chronicle Of Santa Fe

by Allan Pacheco, Ghosts Murder Mayhem A Chronicle Of Santa Fe Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Ghosts Murder Mayhem A Chronicle Of Santa Fe book, If you like to have fun, this tabloid-like investigation of some of Santa Fe, New Mexico's most extraordinary events is for you. Here are "beyond belief" stories of the present and the days of yore that picture many compelling, serious and humorous events that have woven themselves into Santa Fe's colorful history. Many myths and facts are explored, and many bubbles are burst: Billy The Kid, Russian spies, hauntings, UFOs, the Santa Fe Trail, to name a few. This eccentric Santa Fe guide is full of sensationalism, revulsion, truths, lies and pleasant distractions. Written in a "Noir" fashion, the book mixes humor with hard-boiled memorable moments that could only happen in Santa Fe, The City Different. ALLAN PACHECO is a native Santa Fean who has a B.A. degree and has attended Law School. He has many patents (auto tool) and for years was primarily involved in international manufacturing and trade. Allan's love for Santa Fe knows no bounds. Perhaps it's in his DNA since his ancestors were Spanish Conquistadors who helped found the city.

Last Of The Donkey Pilgrims

by Kevin O'Hara, Last Of The Donkey Pilgrims Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Last Of The Donkey Pilgrims book, Kevin O'Hara's journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would try to circle the entire coastline of Ireland on foot—and with a donkey and cart no less? But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the whole of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Determined to reach his grandmother's village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along the entire jagged coast of a divided Ireland. Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland's greatest resource—its people. Along the way, Kevin would meet incredible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self. “One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written...In a style evocative of Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, O'Hara writes memorably of his most unusual way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” —Library Journal At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
