Books with author Brenda Fox

On September 19, 1991 a couple hiking along an Alpine ridge stumbled upon a frozen, intact corpse melting out of a glacier. He was dubbed "the Iceman," and his discovery—along with the realization that he was actually 5,000 years old—set off a whirlwind of political, scientific, and media activity that made him an overnight sensation. In this remarkable and dramatic book, Brenda Fowler takes readers through the bizarre odyssey that began in the Stone Age and continued for years after the Iceman was unearthed.

Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... NEED not tell you how sorely Froggy cried when the day came for Benny to be laid in his coffin, and carried to the grave. When he kissed his little brother for the very last time, and looked upon his meek white face, and whispered to him his last passionate appeal to wake up before they came to carry him away, his grief was such that I care not to dwell upon it.

When all was over, Miss Goff took Froggy by the hand again and led him back to Shoreditch. Not to the old house with the blackened front, but to a large, clean, red brick one, standing near to the church, with the words printed over the door, in large letters, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me." This was the Orphanage of which Miss Goff was under-matron, and where Mr Wallace had arranged that Froggy should be sheltered for a time, till another home could be provided for him. There were twelve little children, altogether, in the Orphanage. Very noisy and very happy seemingly, but poor...
