Books with title Legendary

I HAD a curious adventure one Christmas, an adventure which influenced my fate for life, and which I really think worth re-cording;. It happened a few days before Christmas-eve. The weather was very gloomy and cold, and on the evening in question I paced up and down the large old library for nearly an hour after my solitary dinner, in a rather dull and quarrelsome state of mind. It sounds ridiculous to say so, but I was out of humor about an old proverb. Not that a man always really knows what he is out' of humor about, even when he fancies he does. Sometimes it is simply owing to indigestion ; but sometimes to the awakened of an ill-satisfied conscience.

Some family secrets are shocking. Gary’s are downright legendary. What kid wouldn’t want a family who hunts monsters in their spare time? Yeah, that’s what Gary thought too. His life was going pretty great until his dad mysteriously vanished into the desert, and his grandpa went a little extra off the deep end. That was five years ago. Now, Gary’s just trying to survive eighth-grade and figure out what Mary, his best friend, is hiding from him in that spooky old house she calls home. As if his life needed to get any stranger, a living tornado pays him a visit one morning in the school bathroom with a birthday gift from his long-lost dad. The one present Gary never expected was the Legend Diary, an ancient book passed down by generations to keep the tales of a nation in check. Unfortunately, the living shadow, Dastard Black, has his own plans to use the book to unleash an army of nightmares into Gary’s world. Finding an unexpected friend in the folk hero Jesse James, their search for Gary’s father leads them into the paths of the escaped fables of Cordwood Pete, the Jersey Devil, the Headless Horseman, skinwalkers, satyrs, and more. In a final stand against the legion of shadows, it’s up to Gary to save his family, his friends, and himself, by learning what it means to be a true guardian of legends.

This is a comprehensive reference to over 35 places of legend, including sites, cities and landscapes. It includes a seven-page gazetteer giving insight into travel and accommodation, and what to see and do at the places featured in the book. Locator maps direct the reader to each area. The atlas charts a worldwide journey through varied territory, beginning where legend, myth and reality meet. These are the eternal realms, such as the Garden of Eden, Camelot and Avalon, which cannot now be seen, but which have for centuries motivated explorers, writers and artists. The natural settings are as varied as those of Hawaii's Haleakala Crater, Japan's Mount Fuji and India's River Ganges. These landscapes are places where gods and heroes are believed to have walked on Earth. In such environs, human endeavour has created sacred wonders: the Tomb of Tutankhamun cut from the Valley of the Kings; the Mayan city of Tikal in the heart of the Guatamalan jungle; and Ohio's Serpent Mound, created by ancestors of the Native Americans. Man-made beauty and monuments are the stuff of legend too, from the Taj Mahal to the Forbidden City and Elsinore. And legendary places can embody the triumph of human courage over adversity, as witnessed in the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral.

Every evening the animals gather in a clearing in the forest to tell stories--fairy tales, myths and legends, fantasies filled with magic and wonder. One evening, as Hedgehog heads for the gathering, he sees something extraordinary--a unicorn drinking from the stream! He is astonished. But when he tells the other animals about it, they assure him that he is mistaken. ""The unicorn is just a legend,"" they say, ""a myth. In reality there are no unicorns."" Soon, Hedgehog himself no longer believes his own eyes. Suddenly, there is something very wrong in the forest. The birds no longer sing, the babbling stream is silent, all seems dim and dull. And when the animals meet to share stories, they discover that they have forgotten them all. Luminous, lovely paintings illustrate this enchanted tale about the power of belief and the wonder of the legendary unicorn.
