Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

‘Lisa Turner, somewhat slow learner was dared by her friend Kate To chew on glue, something to do and so she took the bait. She opened wide and stuffed some in, no doubt it made her frown. You won’t get chatting to Lisa now, not unless she writes it down’ The Big(ish) book of (somewhat) Hilarious Poems has been stuffed full of funny, cute, gross andsometimes even grotty poems that will make you giggle,wriggle, chuckle, buckle, laugh and barf. From overweight Christmas fairies to disgusting potions that turn you invisible to a baby who cannot stop eatinganything he sees – this book has it all!

In the Victoria, Australia flood of 1906, much of the surrounding area was devastated. In the novel Beyond the Flood, a young boy named Jemmy and his father are caught in the deluge and drown in a raging creek. Flash forward to 1985. Bobby, age twelve, his older sister, Gwen, and his younger brother, Jeremy, along with their mum and dad, move into the same house where Jemmy lived and played, until tragedy struck all those years before. Bobby starts a new school and becomes friends with Justin, who tells Bobby that his house is haunted. Soon after, Bobby starts seeing Jemmy's ghost who, coincidently resembles his brother, Jeremy. This starts a series of events that no one but Justin believes. Bobby and Justin become friends with Peter Jacobs, a much-decorated WWI and WWII soldier. The old war veteran sheds light on the 1906 tragedy, which leads to a surprising discovery. Meanwhile severe flooding is once again forecast to hit parts of the small Victorian town and surrounding area. Can Bobby prevent another tragedy from occurring? Author Bio: Shirley Coughlin is now retired and writes for her grandchildren. She lives in a farming town in central Victoria, Australia. Her war veteran character was inspired by her late father-in-law, who served with the Coldstream guards, and was among the first to liberate Bergen Belsen concentration camp. His experiences there affected him for the rest of his life. The author is now working on her next book. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/BeyondTheFlood.html
