Download or read book The Dandelion Clock written by Rebecca Bryn and published by via tolino media. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Families torn apart by the Great War. Can promises be kept? When war is declared in August 1914, Bill, is plucking up his courage to ask his sweetheart, Florrie, to marry him. Bill and Florrie’s dreams are dashed when Bill is sent to fight in Gallipoli, Egypt, and Palestine taking with him a horse, Copper, volunteered for service by the 7th Duke’s young daughter, Lady Alice. Bill makes promises before he leaves: to marry Florrie and to bring his beloved warhorse home safe to Lady Alice. While Bill fights Turks and Germans in appalling conditions, Florrie fights her own war with rationing, poverty, the loss of her menfolk, and her father’s drunken temper. As WW1 proceeds, fearful and with her resilience faltering, her feelings of self-worth plummet, and she turns to her dandelion clocks for reassurance. ‘He lives? He lives not? He loves me? He loves me not?’ When Bill returns to England six months after the armistice in November 1918, both he and Florrie have been changed by their personal journeys. Has their love survived their wartime romances, spending five years apart, and the tragedies they’ve endured? Can Bill keep his promises to Florrie and Lady Alice? An insight into the military history of the 1914 1918 war as fought by the Royal Buckinghamshire Hussars and the Queen's Own Worcestershire Yeomanry - some of the 'PALS brigades'. At first thought, 'not real soldiers' by the regular army, the Royal Bucks and the Worcester Yeomanry fought with great courage and suffered huge losses. In fact, the Worcesters sustained more losses than any brigade in any war, and the PALS earnt the respect of all those who fought with them. Although Military Fiction, it is a story inspired by real people and based on real events that doesn't forget the role of strong women in the Great War or their need for a wartime romance - love where they could find it. 'Bryn is, without doubt, one of the best writers of historical fiction writing in English today. In The Dandelion Clock you will not just read about the horrors of war, you will live them in all their stark reality.' - Frank Parker, author of Called to Account 'She truly captured what it was like to be a soldier but also what it was like for loved ones left at home. It is a story of courage, of duty, of heartbreak and of promises made, not to be broken, no matter what the emotional cost. This book had me in tears, in parts, the writing so compelling. It deserves to be read. I strongly recommend.'

Download or read book A Clock Without Hands written by Guy Burt and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I want to turn back the hands on the clock and change it all, make it different; three friends who meet up by chance in an old city and share a beer and laugh at old stories and jokes. But it wasn’t like that; and the clock has no hands, so I can’t turn them back.” [p.171] Alex Carlise has returned to a place he thought he’d never see again, outside of his dreams. As he walks the ochre-dusted road to the house in which he grew up, the memories of his young life in a small Italian town push all other thoughts out of his head: thoughts about the major exhibition of his artwork opening soon in London, thoughts of the myriad things he should be doing in preparation–everything subsides to make room for the warm flood of a time long past. When he opens the door to the now-deserted house, he is suddenly seven again. There is Jamie, his first friend, his best friend; Anna, his first love; and the delicious days they spent exploring the valley and swimming in the cerulean blue Mediterranean Sea. It all comes back to Alex in a way he can neither control nor discern. But the memories are insistent, demanding. Soon Alex loses entire hours to the past, overwhelmed by the haunting memories of a youth turned tragic. Alex remembers the day he, Jamie, and Anna went to their favorite place, an abandoned church far up in the hills. There they stumbled upon a man, injured and sick. From this discovery, a series of events tumbled forth that would change them all forever. Alex now realizes that he must confront the truth about himself, about the echoes of the past that still haunt him, and about the friends whose legacy has meant only devastation. Guy Burt’s vision of youth is piercingly accurate, and his sense of how time can play tricks on the mind is startling. Haunting, eerie, and remarkably assured, The Clock Without Hands will resonate with the child that hides inside your own memories.

Download or read book Born to Be Wild written by Hattie Garlick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to save cash, your child's imagination and possibly even the planet? This is the book you need. Packed with great photos of real families in the outdoors, Born to Be Wild contains easy-to-follow instructions for activities that require nothing more sophisticated than a small person's imagination and access to a little outdoor space. Nature lays on magical materials for free each season, from fallen leaves and twigs, moulted feathers, sand and shells, to mud, puddles and rain. Everything else you'll need for these activities is already hiding in your cupboards at home. No expensive art supplies of outward-bound kit required. All you need are the toolkit items at the front of the book - ordinary household essentials like scraps of paper, string, glue, recycled food containers and an empty jar or two. Along the way Hattie talks to families, organisations and communities who have rebuilt their relationships with nature with extreme or inspiring results, and she introduces scientists, psychologists and other experts who explain why, as modern families, we should revive our waning relationships with nature, whatever age or stage we're at.

Book Synopsis Marcus Parnassus by : John Michael Coia
Download or read book Marcus Parnassus written by John Michael Coia and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-09-20 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When young boys, or girls for that matter, wander off into their inner world, magical things can happen. That is where the reality of the adult world becomes less than real, often dissappearing altogether. Hard things can become soft, gravity be denied and both time and distance get mixed up. Adults say "You're imagining things. Stop daydreaming and do something useful," but who is to say what is real and what is imagined? I certainly prefer the so called 'imagined' world to the other, 'real world', where hard things are hard and supper time is fixed. So let's join Marcus Parnassus in his adventures, where supper time is always when you're hungry and bed time is flexible.

Book Synopsis This Is How a Robin Drinks by : Joanna Brichetto
Download or read book This Is How a Robin Drinks written by Joanna Brichetto and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature isn't only in a park or wilderness. It’s right outside our door. Sometimes it’s on the door or comes inside to find us. Nature is the jumping spider on the screen, the assassin bug in the shower, and the cluster of ladybugs at the lamp. It is the moss on brick where gutters spill, a sycamore sprout in the storm drain, and the trash can lid turned into a bird bath. Joanna Brichetto is a neurodiverse, late-blooming naturalist with a sharp eye. Despite having chronic illnesses, she spends much of her time exploring nature and has an infectious, almost zealous love for the flora and fauna near and in her Nashville home. In This Is How a Robin Drinks, Brichetto weaves observation, reflection, and commentary with unsentimental wit and an earthy humor into an urban almanac of fifty-two short lyrical essays. Each piece offers a sketch of everyday wonders in everyday habitat loss. Nature is the dead sparrow in the pickup line at the elementary school, a full moon over the electric substation, and the cicada chorus that doesn’t make a days-long migraine any better (but doesn’t make it any worse either). Nature is under our feet, over our heads, and beside us—the very places we need to know first. Arranged by season, the pieces in this collection celebrate nature—just as it is—on the sidewalk and in the backyard, the park, and the parking lot.

Download or read book Dolly Mixture written by Dorothy Beaumont and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written poetry all my life drawing from my experiences as a mother of four and a grandmother of seven. My life has not been extraordinary or special other than I am blessed with a loving family and good health. I was not well educated nor encouraged to express myself. However, writing poetry helped me to iron out life's tangles. I believe lots of people have a poem, or many poems inside them and hope that my poetry will inspire others to write and share their memories as I have.
