Books with author James Lailey

Life's no fairy tale for Jack. After all, his father's been missing ever since that incident with the beanstalk and the giant, and his grandfather keeps pushing him to get out and find a princess to rescue. Who'd want to rescue a snobby, entitled princess anyway? Especially one that falls out of the sky wearing a shirt that says "Punk Princess," and still denies she's royalty. In fact, May doesn't even believe in magic. Yeah, what's that about? May does need help though--a huntsman is chasing her, her grandmother has been kidnapped, and Jack thinks it's all because of the Wicked Queen . . . mostly because May's grandmother might just be the long-lost Snow White. Jack and May's thrillingly hilarious adventure combines all the classic stories--fractured as a broken magic mirror--into one epic novel for the ages.

Excerpt from The Danbury Boom: With a Full Account of Mrs. Cobleigh's Action Therein!; Together With Many Other Interesting Phases in the Social and Domestic History of That Remarkable VillageThe chief (and perhaps the only) advantage of a preface is that an author can talk therein pretty much as he pleases, as there is no one to hear him. Should prefaces ever be read, then they will lose their delightful charm of seclusion, and become so much like the rest of the volume as to be either dropped altogether or incorporated with the body of the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
