Excerpt from In the Land of the Tui, 1894: My Journal in New ZealandI have often wondered why I had neither heard nor read of the Tui before going to New Zealand, for now the thoughts suggested by its name make me ashamed to have been so ignorant. Would that I could have adequately told how this lone bird's song enraptured me! For I know, in the years to come, Memory's echo of its wild sweetness will bring back the loveliness of the forests where it has its dwelling-place, and I wish that some of its haunting cadences could be shared by those sympathetic readers who may be interested enough in that far-distant land to peruse this, I hope not too personal, record of our happy sojourn there.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A letter from Buckingham Palace prompts 13-year-old Angus Wolfe to investigate "The King s Puzzle" - a treasure hunt created by the boy's grandfather especially for His Majesty King George VI to solve while touring Canada by train in 1939. The young history enthusiast is burning with curiosity. Why did his grandfather keep the Puzzle a secret from his family for his entire life? And why did the boy not keep a promised rendezvous with the King's train in 1939? Aided by his girlfriend, Amanda, Angus attempts to solve a mystery three generations late - with people, places and things gone or unalterably changed. The boy detective is inspired by the voices of two kindred spirits - his puzzlemaster grandfather and King George VI - speaking to him across decades of time. But it soon becomes clear that sinister forces are at work in the present day; someone does not want the King's Puzzle solved and may take drastic measures to foil Angus's attempt. Will his enemy thwart his efforts and possibly bring harm upon the boy and his family?

Amelia was rather poor and had none of the excellent toys and beautiful things that the other girls and boys had. Though Amelia had much, much more than them for she was always content and always happy, but most of all Amelia had imagination. You see, the children who had so many toys and beautiful things became bored so very quickly, constantly changing from one toy to the next and never really enjoying anything for very long. But to the contrary, so great was Amelia’s imagination that every new day of her life became the most fantastic day ever, filled with excitement and adventure.

Excerpt from The Archive, Vol. 51: October, 1937No one seems to know the author of that little aphorism; but it is needle-sharp truth, Embryonic Playwrights, and a shackle from which you will never escape: for the dramatist's workaday life is an endless gamut of rechecks, rebuilds and rewritings of, many times, Often, his entire opus. It is his ghost in the garret - his literary Sword of Damocles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
