Books with author Catherine Cruzan

My first trip to the seashore, one wave tore away from the sea. She caught my hand, and we raced away together across the sand. Based on a story by Nobel Prize laureate Octavio Paz, this delightful tale of a boy and his pet wave is charmingly retold with beautiful new illustrations. See if you can find the hidden cat, dog, mouse, whale, and sea horse in almost every picture!

Princess Amelia tries to be a proper princess, but since the day the wicked fairy was late to her christening, things just always go haywire. For instance, a normal princess will simply toss a golden ball up and down, but Amelia will teach herself how to juggle, and that is only the beginning. Instead of calling her Lia, the people in the castle know her as Awkward Amelia! For sixteen years, Amelia has failed to live up to her parents' expectations; now it is time for her to find her one true love, and her entire kingdom is counting on her. No pressure! However, despite her best efforts, Amelia manages to bungle one traditional method of finding her prince after another. Will she ever find true love? Will she fail her people? Or, will Amelia discover that sometimes just being yourself can lead to a perfect happily-ever-after?

Excerpt from Linny Lockwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A NovelIt was the month of December; the wind blew, and the rain fell. People - the few that were out of doors - could not keep their hats on their heads, nor their cloaks on their shoulders: umbrellas were out of the question, and it was so dark that, except immediately under the dim street-lamps, they could scarcely distinguish the ground they walked upon. The gusts blew the rain in their faces, and almost blinded them; and there was such a whistling, howling, and pattering, that they could not hear themselves speak. The hackney coachmen abandoned their stands for the shelter of the public-house, leaving their horses with their drooping heads to the care of the waterman, who stood dripping in oil-skin under the lintel of a door. In short, every body said there had never been such a night before; and certainly there had not been many worse.Whilst all this clatter was going on outside, in a small poorly-furnished room in the neighbourhood of Golden-square, a respectable-looking elderly man was tying a comforter round his throat, and thrusting his arms into a brown great-coat, the lining of which was torn."Didn't I beg you, Jane," he said to his wife, who was seated by the fire reading a novel - "didn't I beg you to mend this pocket?""I'll do it now," she said.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
