The friends meet a strange creature who enlists their help - help they must give if he and his kind are to survive the cruel and merciless Fomorian Giants. Hanna, Sophie and Gem the dog find themselves thrust into a magical world where the creatures of Norfolk mythology don't only exist in stories...

Because it all seems so improbable-so horribly impossible to me now, sitting here safe and sane in my own library-I hesitate to record an episode which already appears to me less horrible than grotesque. Yet, unless this story is written now, I know I shall never have the courage to tell the truth about the matter-not from fear of ridicule, but because I myself shall soon cease to credit what I now know to be true. Yet scarcely a month has elapsed since I heard the stealthy purring of what I believed to be the shoaling undertow-scarcely a month ago, with my own eyes, I saw that which, even now, I am beginning to believe never existed.

About the Book A dictionary is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, generally displayed alphabetically, which often incorporate definitions, usage, etymologies, pronunciations, translation, etc. It may also be a book that shows the words in one language with their equivalent in the other language, although this is also known as a lexicon. The most ancient dictionaries were Akkadian Empire (Syria) cuneiform tablets that contained bilingual Sumerian–Akkadian wordlists (2300 BC). In English the word "dictionary" was invented by John of Garland in 1220 when he wrote a book called "Dictionarius" to assist with Latin "diction". An non-alphabetical list of 8000 English words called the "Elementarie", was compiled by Richard Mulcaster in 1582.Also in this Book An encyclopedia (encyclopaedia) is a reference book that provides brief summaries of general knowledge or of a specialized field or discipline. Encyclopedias are comprised of topics that are generally arranged alphabetically but sometimes thematically. The entries are longer and more detailed than in most dictionaries. While encyclopedias have existed for 2,000 years, Chambers' Cyclopaedia (1728), the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (1751 onwards), and the Encyclopædia Britannica were the first to be presented in a form that we would recognize today.And in this Book A library catalog (catalogue) is a register of the bibliographic items found in a library or network of libraries that are spread over several locations. There are many other types of catalogs, including exhibition catalogs, music catalogs, database catalogs, font catalogs, stamp catalogs and auction catalogs.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The failure of the old-time firm of Edgerton, Tennant & Co. was unusual only because it was an honest one—the bewildered creditors receiving a hundred cents on a dollar from property not legally involved.Edgerton had been dead for several years; the failure of the firm presently killed old Tennant, who was not only old in years, but also old in fashion—so obsolete, in fact, were the fashions he clung to that he had used his last cent in a matter which he regarded as involving his personal honor.The ethically laudable but materially ruinous integrity of old Henry Tennant had made matters rather awkward for his orphaned nieces. Similar traditions in the Edgerton family—of which there now remained only a single representative, James Edgerton 3d—devastated that young man's inheritance so completely that he came back to the United States, via Boston, on a cattle steamer and arrived in New York the following day with two dollars in loose silver and a confused determination to see the affair through without borrowing.He walked from the station to the nearest of his clubs. It was very early, and the few club servants on duty gazed at him with friendly and respectful sympathy.

In the days when the keepers of the house shall tremble. When I first saw the sexton he was standing motionless behind a stone. Presently he moved on again, pausing at times, and turning right and left with that nervous, jerky motion that always chills me. His path lay across the blighted moss and withered leaves scattered in moist layers along the bank of the little brown stream, and I, wondering what his errand might be, followed, passing silently over the rotting forest mould. Once or twice he heard me, for I saw him stop short, a blot of black and orange in the sombre woods; but he always started on again, hurrying at times as though the dead might grow impatient.
