  • The Great Question for the People! Essays on the Elective Franchise; or, who Has the Right to Vote?

    John Hancock

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Oct. 15, 2015)
    About the Book Older social history, that is, before 1960, included topics that did not fit into the mainstream historiography of political, military, diplomatic and constitutional history. Without a central theme, it often discussed political movements, like Populism, that were considered "social". The concept of "people's history" was often so Marxist that non-Marxists would not read it. Social history was set apart from political history, intellectual history and the history of great personages. The English historian G. M. Trevelyan saw it as a link between economic and political history.Also in this Book Biographies and auto-biographies that should be classed as part of a nation or a society’s cultural heritage are hard to define. Cultural heritage is often seen as the legacy of intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture such as books, works of art, and artifacts, and intangible culture, such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge. The people who have contributed to those cultural attributes are relevant here.And in this Book These are titles about women who have been prominent in any field of endeavour, including education, literature, the arts, music, politics, medicine, science and technology. This also includes women who have been prominent in history, in women’s organizations, and part of the movement for women’s suffrage.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

    Joey Hancock

    Strands of multicolored lights celebrating Christmas outlined the house against the backdrop of a dark winters eve. In the light from the kitchen window was where she had chosen to lay, bruised both in body and spirit. Her golden brown hair was dull and dirty.

  • Three Magic Tales

    John Gregory Hancock

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 24, 2014)
    Recollected under the theme of Magic, these three tales originally from volumes 1 and 2 of the Dreamwood Tales series were chosen to be the best platform for a consummate narrator to create an audiobook. That narrator's name is Jon Caruth. Each tale speaks of magic, exists in magical places, or turns on our heads our concepts of what is magic. The first, A Winter Crossing, contains the following: "In those times, when the sun would drop behind the ancient and broken mountains, the bridge became unfamiliar and cast a stifling pall on those who dared cross. Even to this day, it is said traversing the bridge alone at the end of a winter’s day is to invite frost demons. This is what adults tell each other. Then they laugh, and hoist mead or mulled wine in heavy mugs and whisper ‘fairy tales,’ at the oft-repeated warning. Yet their eyes dart and their tongues lick cracked lips and they share the secret conviction that perhaps labeling something a ‘fairy tale’ is not the same as labeling something untrue. " ------------- The second, True Dragon, contains the following: "Another swipe of the blade, and this time the dragon was too slow. A gash opened up on the right front leg. Dark fluid rushed out. Angered, the dragon whipped its plated tail out with a snap and swept the knight from behind, toppling him backwards. The man fell with a loud “Humph!” noise, that one could hear over the din of his metal. In pain, Arianwen, or Caswallon, leapt up and shoved its snout into the man’s face. “ENOUGH. Leave now and I will not eat you.” --------- The third, PRISM, contains the following: “Well, Blevins…” Mallow continued, “…he was laying on the ground, so naturally I figured he’d fallen asleep on watch. I was wrong. He was staring straight up at the sky, with his eyes wide open. But his eyes had become just whitened balls. The color, you know that circle around the little black hole? It were drained, gone. And his hair turned fully grey. When we went to sleep, Blevins had a healthy head of dark hair. “Then my horse keeled over, likewise dead. It were a chestnut-colored mare the night before. Only now it was mottled grey. It had the same whitened eyes.” “Good Gods,” Liam whispered. ----------- NOTE: if you already own Plague of Dreams or Splintered Dreams, you do not need this recollection. If you have NOT read either, then this is a quality introduction to those volumes. thanks for reading and be SURE to get the audiobook that will be made from this. Jon Caruth's voice will haunt and enthrall you.
  • Studies in Stichomythia ..

    Hancock John Leonard

    Paperback (HardPress Publishing, June 23, 2013)
    Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
