Books with author Thomas Müller

American motocross in the early 1980's was a pivotal time for the sport. Competition was at a fever pitch, the factory racing teams were exorbitant, and big personalities such as Bob Hannah, Mark Barnett, Kent Howerton, Jeff Ward and Johnny O'Mara were ruling the sport. Motojournalist Tom Mueller was on the scene as a reporter and photographer for Cycle News East. He has collected over 12,000 images from the 1979 to 1982 racing seasons. "American Motocross in Photos: 1979 – 1982" creates a time portal to those wonderful years of competition, with behind the scenes photos, many never before seen or published. Readers can take a trip back into motocross history and explore the sites, detail and personalities that set the foundation for decades to come.

WHERE you see the square church-tower, in the picture of the "Sheep and Lamb," stands the pretty village of Greenham, hidden behind the trees. The sheep and lambs that appear so little, because they are such a way off, are grazing on Greenham Common. The two that are so near you, and the pet lamb, round the neck of which the little boy has placed his arm, are in a small paddock, often called a croft, close, or field, that is separated from the Common by a bank, on the top of which the little child sits who is feeding the sheep. The girl holding the child, and the boy looking over his shoulder, live at Greenham, and have come across the Common to ask how Johnny's father is, and to look at his pet lamb. You will notice that Johnny looks very grave and sad; and well he may, for his father has met with an accident, and has not been able to do any work for several weeks, and is so poor that he will be forced to sell his two sheep and Johnny's pet lamb to pay the rent of his cottage. You cannot see the cottage in the picture, nor anything but a bit of the little field that lies at the back of it, in which the boy sits fondling his lamb. That girl is servant in a great farm-house, though she does very little besides looking after the children and feeding the poultry, for they keep great strong servant girls where she lives, to milk, and brew, and cook, and wash, and clean, and make butter and cheese in the dairy. She is a girl with a very feeling heart, and the two boys she has brought across the Common are very fond of her, and many a merry romp do they have together. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this nice story.

This children's book was published in 1844 and teaches good principles and morals. My dear little Friends : In all the stories which I have written for your instruction and amusement, I have endeavored to instill into your mnids GOOD PRINCIPLES. But all my efforts, as well as those of your parents and other friends,will do but little good, unless you yourselves endeavor to be guided by such principles. You must strive to be good, or all our efforts will be in vain. The following story of Happy Little Edward, will show that patience, forbearance, obedience, generosity, frankness, truth, and kindness of heart, will do more towards making you happy children than all the wealth in the world. You will see that Edward possessed all these qualities, and exercised them on all occasions, young as he was. And I think you will find out, too, that he was always as merry and cheerful a little fellow as you could wish to see. Now, my little readers, suppose you all try to possess the same good qualities, and then see if tears, and frowns, and scowls are not as seldom seen on your bright faces as they were on his. If you will do this, if you will "Let LOVE through all your actions run, and all your words be mild." you will not only be happy yourselves, but you will be the means of adding to the happiness of your parents and other friends, and of all around you. In this little tale you will leam, too, a great many things which you perhaps never thought about before. So, while you are pleased with reading the story, you will be storing your minds with useful knowledge. At least, I hope you will, for I always try to make my little readers wise as well as good. It is for this purpose that I spend so much time in making books for children, and, like many other old gentlemen, I am quite anxious that my time shall not be spend in vain. Your old friend and well-wisher, Roseville Hall, 1844. THOMAS TELLER
