Introduction. In placing before my readers in the following pages the results of my twenty-five years' experience of Rat-catching, Ferreting, &c, I may say that i have always done my best to accomplish every task that i have undertaken, and I have in consequence received excellent testimonials from many corporations, railway companies, and merchants. I have not only made it my study to discover the different and the best methods of catching Rats, but i have also taken great interest in watching their ?ways and habits, and i come to the conclusion that there is no sure way of completely exterminating the Rodents, especially in large towns. If i have in this work referred more particularly to Rat-catching in Manchester that is only because my experience, although extending over a much wider area, has been chiefly in that city, but the methods I describe are equally applicable to all large towns.

Climbing the Boreen is the first book in a series of fantasy tales about two children who lose their parents and find themselves traveling the world in search of clues, to uncover what was once hidden in the bogs of Ireland. Written from the perspective that a single moment can truly change our lives and lead us to paths we could never imagine, the book also explores the magical world of children's play and imagination.Boreen, meaning driveway in Gaelic, compares to the steep path the children will climb in life. The incline and length build character, there are so many adventures along the way but there are also dangers that lurk beneath the surface like the stream that hides under the stones but can be heard with heavy rain along the eastern edge of the Boreen. We are never too young or old to experience life’s greatest gifts or challenges and sometimes the gifts are hidden within the challenges. We just do not have the ability to see the future and understand at that moment, the truth in the experience. Both young and old, may go through this. In the story, the two young brothers are left in the care of their loving aunt. But the past that consumed their parents, is never far away and the secrets they have yet to uncover, chase them away from their home once again.

In this second series of Bridging Worlds, the two children continue on their journey to learn, embrace change and adapt. Crossing Channels, takes the children away from their beloved Ireland and the care and kindness of their aunt, to their uncle’s retirement home in England. Sent away for their own protection, the children begin to understand the circumstances surrounding their parent’s death and how to survive and rely upon each other for safety and security.With all the challenges they face, the children try and accept their fate and embrace adventure. Along the way, they are exposed to famous philosophers that seem to weave from their mother’s past. As the children try and create a new home in England, the reader also journeys through the City of Birmingham, with its remarkable history. Clues are found hidden in the most obscure places and in the most benign locations. But the moment the children think they can relax, they are pursued by unknown figures that leave their world unsettled.

After the death of their parents, two children are sent to Europe to live with relatives. But their world forever comes crashing down as they are pursued by an unknown past. They flee to Mexico. Feeling like orphans, alone in the world once again, they brace for an entirely different language and culture.Kevin and Sean have been through so much already and take their seat and wait to be called. They sit in silence. Kevin looks out at the sky with its dark clouds and a sliver of sun trying to poke through. And he hopes, against odds, that the sun may shine for them in Mexico.
