Books with author Robert Heron

Enchanting and delightful, The Squeaking Earl teaches while it entertains. Young and old are touched by its message and subtle humor. The Earl has it all! Wealth surrounds him, and his servants fulfill his every wish. But, he is bored and unhappy. No one can cheer him. One day, traveling animal musicians come to his land . . . "where an owl played the oboe and a hare played percussion. A sheep blew a sax with a lot of persuasion; a hound was on horn, of all wonderful things, and a cat, yes a cat, that majored on strings, also purred out vocals in the style of swing." This wonderful musical group lifts the Earl's spirits, and he longs to join and travel with them. To do so he must practice and work hard. But, does an Earl really have to earn anything? Since when does an Earl have to work for what he wants? This charming fable captivates children and adults alike with its practical moral about the importance of hard work. About the Author: Uncle Bob, aka Bob Heim, is a writer and cartoonist in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

There appears to be much needed a work on parliamentary law, based, in its general principles, upon the rules and practice of Congress, and adapted, in its details, to the use of ordinary societies. Such a work should give, not only the methods of organizing and conducting the meetings, the duties of the officers and the names of the ordinary motions, but in addition, should state in a systematic manner, in reference to each motion, its object and effect; whether it can be amended or debated; if debatable, the extent to which it opens the main question to debate; the circumstances under which it can be made, and what other motions can be made while it is pending. This Manual has been prepared with a view to supplying the above information in a condensed and systematic manner, each rule being either complete in itself, or giving references to every section that in any way qualifies it, so that a stranger to the work can refer to any special subject with safety.

Robert Welch Herrick (1868-1938) was a novelist who was part of a new generation of American realists. His novels deal with the turbulence of industrialized society and the turmoil it can create in sensitive, isolated people. He was also briefly acting-Governor of the United States Virgin Islands in 1935. From 1905 to 1923, he was a professor of literature at the University of Chicago, during which time he wrote thirteen novels. Among those considered to be his finest was Web of Life (1900). His art was free of dogmatic isms and achieves its power from a melancholic fatalism. He dreaded the brutality and ignorance of the mob as much as he despised the avarice and ennui of the upper class. He was suspicious of political doctrines and utopian legislation, feeling that true progress for human happiness must always lie in individuals making moral choices. His works include: Literary Love-Letters and Other Stories (1897), The Man Who Wins (1897), The Gopsel of Freedom (1898), The Real World (1901), Their Child (1903), Together (1908) and A Life for a Life (1910).
