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.

Come take a seat or sit on the floorAnd I’ll tell you a tale not told beforeAbout Culicoides and their hungry appetiteAnd what happened to them when they chose the wrong fight.This is a fun tale about what happened to Culicoides - the Man Eating Dragons that plagued the Scottish Hillsides. One minute they were a scourge and the next they disappeared – or did they? The tale is based around a poem I wrote to entertain my children as they were growing up. It is in rough verse and can easily be elaborated on with actions so that it could be read to children or performed as part of a Storytellers repertoire.

Many have heard of Robert Burns the famous Scottish Poet but few have heard of his Great Grandfather - Willie Rennie - the Maybole Baker. Willie was proud of his quality bread and unlike many bakers of his time he refused to bulk his produce with cheaper ingredients and his customers appreciated his efforts. However, not everyone could afford the luxury of good wholesome bread so satisfied themselves with just walking past his shop and experiencing the beautiful aroma. That was until one day Willie caught Ivy Graham smelling the scent of newly baked bread coming from the shop.

Excerpt from The Innocents: A New Play This, as it seems to me, 18 what Mr. Archibald is implying in the agonizing close of his play. But it is not the meaning of The Innocents. A work of art, as this is, has many meanings, and they vary with the time and the audience. One may be moved by a work of art, as audiences are by this one, without being able to reduce its significance to a set formula. Indeed, that one cannot do so (provided, also that one is moved) is often a sign that a work of art has pretensions beyond the transient. So, if we are a little puzzled by The Innocents, let us not blame either ourselves or the play. Let us ask ourselves only whether we were filled with a vague, troubling sense of the evil that exists in the world, in us, and even in the very heart of innocence. If we do have this sense, the play has given us much of what it has to give. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
