What do you do when you are wrongly accused, and all the evidence points to you being the culprit? How do you handle people turning against you because of it? Constable Aloysius Bumblesnitch has never been the most reliable member of the Bloxwytch watch. Indeed, some would say that he has some shady character traits – but organised crime? He’s never been that organised, ever, yet his name keeps coming up in a number of burglaries, along with supporting evidence. Adding to his problems, the love of the dwarf constable’s life, Verity, has taken a shine to an elf called Kryptix. It’s bad enough that Bumblesnitch has lost his heart’s desire – but he absolutely hates Kryptix, with a passion.Personal disaster awaits the dwarf.

Excerpt from My Brother's KeeperA train shot along the overhanging structure; the shock on the cool metal stung the hunted man's fin gers, the vibrant snarl tensed his brain, already acute with caution and the need of fear. His right hand stole back to the rubber grip of the automatic pistol in his pocket, but his figure did not stir from its mimicry protection' of the iron frame casting its shadow about him; his eyes did not lose their watch ing of the plain-clothes man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two children must escape North Korea on their own in this harrowing novel based on a true story. North Korea. December, 1950. Twelve-year-old Sora and her family live under an iron set of rules: No travel without a permit. No criticism of the government. No absences from Communist meetings. Wear red. Hang pictures of the Great Leader. Don't trust your neighbors. Don't speak your mind. You are being watched. But war is coming, war between North and South Korea, between the Soviets and the Americans. War causes chaos - so war is the perfect time to escape. The plan is simple: Sora and her family will walk for weeks from their tiny northern village to the South Korean city of Busan - if they can avoid napalm, frostbite, border guards, and enemy soldiers. But they can't. And when an incendiary bombing breaks the family apart, Sora and her little brother, Young, must get to South Korea on their own. Can a 12-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother survive 300 miles of warzone in winter? Based on the incredible true experience of the author's mother as a refugee during the Korean War, Brother's Keeper offers listeners a view into a vanished world and a closed nation.

When I fell sick, an very sick, An very sick, just like to dee, A gentleman ogood accpunt, He cam on purpose to visit me. Old Ballad. IT was a blustering December day,-r-no snow to lay the dust or to allay the cold with its bright reflections; and Winter himself seemed shivering, despoiled of his ermine cloak. In that very spirit in which some people seek out the worst side of human nature, the wind careered about, picked up all the dust and straws it could find, and showered them upon the heads of innocent and well dressed people. Not exclusively, to be sure, the wind was impartial in its bestowings; but if mischief may be measured by the trouble it gives and the effects it leaves behind it, then did the upper ten get more than their share that day.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from My BrotherNot by profession, my lord, though his manner of life comes near to the same thing. He does odd jobs for the farmers and in the small gentry's gardens when he's able. But he has a damaged spine, or something, and that keeps him from putting in a decent man's work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
