This lady had spent five years in different parts of the United States and Canada with her husband, who was immensely proud of his wife's cleverness, popularity, and good-looks. She spoke English well, and had written a very creditable little history of her native islands. Her part of the river was certainly an ideal spot for a swim, as the great trees sheltered the water in many places from the sun's scorching rays. Strict privacy is never encouraged while bathing in Samoa, and this Christmas morning proved no exception to the rule. As soon as we arrived all Lau Lii's cousins and nieces, who happened to be visiting her, came rushing down from the house, and in a minute had H shaken off their pretty holiday dresses, and wound bright-coloured lava-lavas round their bodies with such cunning and art that, no matter how strongly the river might be running, or in what vicissitudes they might find themselves, the utmost decorum and propriety were maintained. Soon the fun began, the pretty, bright-eyed, brown-skinned girls climbing up on the branch of a huge tree, and turning somersaults, one after another, into the deep, rushing water below. They precipitated themselves into the water every way, except head foremost; with which method they were enchanted, and asked us again and again to repeat our diving. And they worked hard trying to do likewise, but always turned a somersault or made some gyration infinitely more difficult in their efforts to take an ordinary dive. There was great laughter and merrymaking at these water-parties: sometimes one would catch a large prawn, and pursue another in the water, hold...

Edna could talk to her dead twin. No one else knew, it was their secret. And then Edna met Jane, a girl of her own age who'd been locked up in an asylum because she heard voices. Did she really? Or did someone have a more sinister reason for having Jane locked away? Edna knows she must help Jane to break out and go with her to London to find out the truth. Victorian London though with its thieves and beggars is more dangerous than any asylum as the girls are about to find out.

Discover the magic of an underwater world with three-year-old dolphin Mattie and his friends. As youngsters, it's their first time attending the Dolphin Olympics, where dolphins from all over the world gather to participate in events such as the Great Challenge and the Most Flips in a Single Jump contest. Polaris Jack-a legend in the dolphin world-will be there, and Mattie's excitement is contagious as he learns more and more about sea life. But the situation becomes dire when Mattie is separated from his pod. As he travels the ocean alone, searching for his mother and the rest of his dolphin family, he faces many challenges. He also meets many of the creatures who share his underwater world-like the Twirling Monster, the octopus, an array of fish, and the seahorse-and comes to understand the role all animals play in nature and the universe. During Mattie's exploits, he gains the knowledge and confidence to become an independent dolphin. The Dolphin Way tells the tale of Mattie's adventures while also revealing important facts and information about dolphins and their wonderful, fragile underwater environment.

Excerpt from In Stevenson's SamoaI have been asked to write a preface to this little book. This would seem a work of supererogation unless it were to point out that it is as it were a chance record, and therefore in some respects the more valuable, of the character of Robert Louis Stevenson. Slight as is the sketch of him, a more attractive portrait of a man of genius, whose end and aim was to promote the happiness of his fellow-creatures, has in my poor judgment seldom been presented to us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
