Excerpt from Lost Indian Magic: A Mystery Story of the Red Man as He Lived Before the White Men CameLike all primitive peoples they personified the hidden powers Of Nature, most Of which were feared, and they supposed that back Of all disaster stood some evil intelligence that must be appeased, or fought, with the aid Of some other power pos~ sessing greater virtue.Naturally enough, the power that, in their Opin ion, brought the greatest protection against evil, and produced the greatest blessings in abundant crops, successful hunting, and strength in battle, was symbolized by some image or Obj ect which took to itself the mighty power and gave out its magical charm, or great medicine, to the fortunate tribe who possessed it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tale of Timber TownTimber town lay like a toy city at the bottom of a basin. Its wooden houses, each placed neatly in the middle of a little garden plot, had been painted brightly for the delight of the children. There were whole streets of wooden shops, with verandahs in front of them to shade the real imported goods in their windows; and three wooden churches, freshly painted to suit the tastes of their respective - and respectable - congregations; there Was a wooden Town Hall, painted grey; a wooden Post Othee, painted brown; 3 red college, where boys in white disported upon a green field; a fawn-coloured school, with a playground full of pinafored little girls; and a Red Tape Onice - designed in true Elizabethan style, with cupolas, vanes, fantastic chimney-tops, embayed windows, wondrous parapets - built entirely of wood and painted the colour of Devonshire cream, with grit in the paint to make it look like stone.Along the streets ran a toy tram, pulled by a single horse, which was driven by a man who moved his arms just as if they were real, and who puffed genuine clouds of smoke from his tobacco pipe. Ladies dressed in bright colours walked up and down the trim side-paths, with gaudy sunshades in their hands; knocked at doors, went calling, and looked into the shop windows, just like actual people.It was the game of playing at living. The sky shone brightly overhead; around the town stood hills which no romantic scene painter could have bettered;. The air of the man with water-cart, of the auctioneer's man with bell, and of the people popping in and out of the shops, was the air of those who did these things for love of play-acting on a stage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
