Tales from King Arthur

2004 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: In this selection of tales by the master folklorist Andrew Lang, the reader is taken into the romantic world of the gallant Knights of the Round Table and their courageous and chivalrous deeds, fair maidens, castles steeped in history, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the tragic love of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot for Guinevere, and Tristan for Iseult.

Charles Lamb and Mary Lamb
Tales from Shakespeare

1986 y.
Publisher: Random House
Description: In order to fully appreciate and comprehend what Charles and Mary Lamb accomplished in their `Tales from Shakespeare`, one would have to be thoroughly familiar with each play in its original form: fortunately, such formidable knowledge is not necessary to enjoy this sparkling collection. The motivating force behind this colossal enterprise was a desire to enhance the children`s literature of the early 1800s with vital and intricate stories that were at once appetizing and substantial. To turn to Shakespeare as a source was an obvious choice. That they would be aided by the artistry of Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott whose illustrations were done more than a century later was hardly obvious but certainly providential.

Tales from Tennessee Lawyers

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Lawyers have long been known as master storytellers, and those from Tennessee are certainly no exception. Veteran oral historian and folklorist William Lynwood Montell has collected tales from dozens of lawyers and judges from throughout the Volunteer State, ranging from stories of a custody battle over a family dog that garnered national media attention to the self-proclaimed `smartest man in Clay County.` Recorded exactly as the lawyers tell them, these stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes raw and harrowing, but always remarkable. Far more than a collection of lawyer jokes, Tales from Tennessee Lawyers recounts the most insightful, entertaining, and occasionally heartbreaking stories ever told by and about Tennessee lawyers and their clients, covering the spectrum from arson to homicide, domestic disagreements to sexual abuse, and everything in between. Tales from Tennessee Lawyers is a valuable resource for folklorists as well as a vivid account of the… [detailed...]

Tales from a Globalizing World

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA new world is emerging from the accelerating phenomenon that we call globalization. It`s a world in which people, merchandise, finance, technology, knowledge, and illicit goods circulate freely, and the interdependence of cultures, economies, and individuals has increased beyond all imagining. While globalization connects people and places that are geographically remote, it also fragments local connections and ties. To reveal the constructive as well as the destructive power of globalization, ten very different and distinguished photographers have been commissioned to produce photo-stories from different continents. Akinbode Akinbiyi looks at religion in Brazil and Nigeria, and their mutual influence. Thomas Kern traveled from Detroit to the Mexican border, examining the idea of American identity post-9/11. Ziyo Gafic gives an insider`s evocation of the aftermath of war in a Bosnian community. Some of Philip Jones Griffiths`s famous photographs from Vietnam… [detailed...]

Bill Paterson
Tales from the Back Green

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The much loved Scots actor Bill Paterson was brought up in those halcyon days of post-war Britain when a child could still play happily—and safely—in his own backyard and the streets beyond. Now he evokes his boyhood and youth in Glasgow`s East End during the 1950s, full of intriguing characters and extraordinary events. Always eager to push the boundaries of what they were allowed to do, Bill and his mates construct a giant dust `atomic` bomb, try to hold their own World Cup tournament, and play endlessly on wasteland that`s now unrecognizable from the exciting jungle of his childhood. Tales from the Back Green is not only a brilliant realization of a time and a place, but a classic memoir of childhood that will strike a chord with everyone who`s ever played and dreamed of life `when I grow up.` [detailed...]

When Japek Holsworth III takes over his father`s old business, he finds he`s the boss of three sexy, stuck-up, materialistic, shallow, female employees. When the ladies find out that Japek has a `thing` for Wiccan women, they proceed to pose as practitioners of the black arts in order to strip Japek of his valuable gems and assets. These wicked witches perform their `fake` ceremony to summon the Great Horned God, and it actually works -- until the dastardly deity gives them each what they want, but far from the way they want it.
