Book Synopsis The Gallows Tree by : Susan Sheppard
Download or read book The Gallows Tree written by Susan Sheppard and published by Publish America. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Susan Sheppard grew up only hills away from the first sighting of the West Virginia Mothman that occurred on November 14, 1966. This spectacular event helped shape Sheppard's imagination and set the tone for her future writings. Between 1966 and 1967, one hundred sightings of the Mothman were reported by local media. By 1968, the Mothman had disappeared. But his story did not end there. In The Gallows Tree: A Mothman's Tale, the peaceful landscape of West Virginia is shattered by a being that can only be described as a part-human, part-ghoul - a red-eyed, winged beast. Sheppard re-imagines her tale and builds a world for her Mothman through a cast of characters that includes an alcoholic preacher, ghosts of lynched slaves and a beautiful witch queen ruling over local ghouls. In this book, mixed with a dreamlike setting, the Mothman not only comes to West Virginia, he finds his humanity in one stunning final victory.

But before she even reaches the crossroads, she’s knocked off her feet by two men in a hurry. What were they running from? To her dismay, she soon discovers for herself: there, dangling from the tree, is the body of a man. Did he commit self-murder, or is there something darker afoot? The more Lucy learns, the more determined she is to uncover the truth. But this time, even the help and protection of magistrate’s son Adam, and steadfast Constable Duncan, may not be enough to keep her safe from harm . . .

Download or read book On Gallows Down written by Nicola Chester and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It’s ever so good. Political, passionate & personal."—Robert Macfarlane (via Twitter), author of Underland Part nature writing, part memoir, On Gallows Down is an essential, unforgettable read for fans of Helen Macdonald, Terry Tempest Williams, and Robin Wall Kimmerer. "I couldn’t put it down! A must read!"—Dara McAnulty (via Twitter), author of Diary of a Young Naturalist Nicola Chester won the BBC Wildlife Magazine’s Nature Writer of the Year Award – this is her first book. On Gallows Down is a powerful, personal story shaped by a landscape; one that ripples and undulates with protest, change, hope – and the search for home. From the girl catching the eye of the “peace women” of Greenham Common to the young woman protesting the loss of ancient and beloved trees, and as a mother raising a family in a farm cottage in the shadow of grand, country estates, this is the story of how Nicola Chester came to write – as a means of protest. The story of how she discovered the rich seam of resistance that runs through her village of Newbury and its people – from the English Civil War to the Swing Riots and the battle against the Newbury Bypass. And the story of the hope she finds in the rewilding of Greenham Common after the military left, the stories told by the landscapes of Watership Down, the gallows perched high on Inkpen Beacon and Highclere Castle (the setting of Downtown Abbey). Nature is indelibly linked to belonging for Nicola. She charts her story through the walks she takes with her children across the chalk hills of the North Wessex Downs, though the song of the nightingale and the red kites, fieldfares, skylarks and lapwings that accompany her; the badger cubs she watches at night; the velvety mole she discovers in her garden and the cuckoo, whose return she awaits. On Gallows Down tells of how Nicola came to realize that it is she who can decide where she belongs, for home is a place in nature and imagination, which must be protected through words and actions. "We are writing for our very lives and for those wild lives we share this one, lonely planet with."—Nicola Chester

Download or read book Studies in Language Variation written by Ralph W. Fasold and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many linguists have moved beyond the study of language isolated from its use and have examined the interaction of linguistic rules with the pragmatics of language in context. At the same time, many scholars have taken a sociological approach to the structure of conversation and other communicative events. A number of anthropologists are adding language variation to their traditional interest in language in relation to cultural phenomena. Linguists who work in semantics, syntax, and phonology have also expanded their interests to include language variation.From the Preface
