It was a misty August day when two women first sighted Gloucester's sea serpent, touching off a riptide of excitement among residents that reached a climax when Matt Gaffney fired a direct shot at the creature.

Book Synopsis The Serpent Came to Gloucester by : M.T. Anderson
Download or read book The Serpent Came to Gloucester written by M.T. Anderson and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2005-05-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning author and illustrator present a tribute to the beauty and mystery of the ocean. It came from the sea, from the lonely sea, It came from the glittering sea. In a small Massachusetts fishing village in August of 1817, dozens of citizens claimed to have seen an enormous sea serpent swimming off the coast. Terrified at first, the people of Gloucester eventually became quite accustomed to their new neighbor. Adventure seekers came from miles around to study the serpent and aggressively hunt it down, but the creature eluded capture. The Gloucester sea serpent was then, and remains now, a complete mystery. Reviving the rhythms and tone of a traditional sea chanty, M.T. Anderson recounts this exhilarating sea adventure through the eyes of a little boy who secretly hopes for the serpent's survival. The author's captivating verse is paired with Bagram Ibatoulline's luminous paintings, created in the spirit of nineteenth-century New England maritime artists.

Download or read book The Unidentified written by Colin Dickey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Absolutely perfect for the current moment." --Buzzfeed America's favorite cultural historian and author of Ghostland takes a tour of the country's most persistent "unexplained" phenomena In a world where rational, scientific explanations are more available than ever, belief in the unprovable and irrational--in fringe--is on the rise: from Atlantis to aliens, from Flat Earth to the Loch Ness monster, the list goes on. It seems the more our maps of the known world get filled in, the more we crave mysterious locations full of strange creatures. Enter Colin Dickey, Cultural Historian and Tour Guide of the Weird. With the same curiosity and insight that made Ghostland a hit with readers and critics, Colin looks at what all fringe beliefs have in common, explaining that today's Illuminati is yesterday's Flat Earth: the attempt to find meaning in a world stripped of wonder. Dickey visits the wacky sites of America's wildest fringe beliefs--from the famed Mount Shasta where the ancient race (or extra-terrestrials, or possibly both, depending on who you ask) called Lemurians are said to roam, to the museum containing the last remaining "evidence" of the great Kentucky Meat Shower--investigating how these theories come about, why they take hold, and why as Americans we keep inventing and re-inventing them decade after decade. The Unidentified is Colin Dickey at his best: curious, wry, brilliant in his analysis, yet eminently readable.

After Ed finds and returns Jo's beloved Arthur, she gratefully loans him her watercolors. When Ed promptly captures a vision of Gloucester for all time, he also comes to see his fellow artiste through new eyes. The "odd couple" attend a silent movie at the North Shore Theater, party at Leon Kroll's on Rocky Neck, sketch at Good Harbor beach, explore Lane's Cove, and drink Twin Lights ginger ale, made in Rockport. By the time of the climactic Tricentennial pageant at Stage Fort Park, a question hovers over the lovers: what next? Sketching and painting in Cape Ann's legendary light by day, spooning under its starry skies when they aren't fighting, Ed and Jo waver between commitment and separation in a narrative presented in a novel here for the first time ever anywhere.
