Books with title The Children of Cloverley

Told with P. D. James's trademark suspense, insightful characterization, and riveting storytelling, The Children of Men is a story of a world with no children and no future. The human race has become infertile, and the last generation to be born is now adult. Civilization itself is crumbling as suicide and despair become commonplace. Oxford historian Theodore Faron, apathetic toward a future without a future, spends most of his time reminiscing. Then he is approached by Julian, a bright, attractive woman who wants him to help get her an audience with his cousin, the powerful Warden of England. She and her band of unlikely revolutionaries may just awaken his desire to live . . . and they may also hold the key to survival for the human race.

Recognizing the demon as the cursed second wife of King Lir, the monk's ward, Trian, sets out to find a way to break the spell separating her from the earth. After all, she only needs the forgiveness of the four children she magically turned into swans nine hundred years ago. How hard can it be? Finding the swans will take Trian all over the Ireland, through the storms created by the Old Folk, and into meadows left to ruin by the Church. He'll the need the help of a mythical god of the dead, a witch with pointy teeth, and a cross of iron to save the demon he loves.

This work refutes Afrocentrist nonsense which claims that "Egypt was black" through reviewing the historical record of Egyptian art, images of mummies, and new dramatic DNA evidence. Ra was the sun god of ancient Egypt, and part of the religion of that culture was a belief that the pharaohs were descended from him. The sun god was depicted with an eagle's head and a human body, with the sun sitting on its head-thus the association of red and blond hair with royalty among the ancient Egyptians. Lavishly illustrated with over 106 full color pictures, DNA evidence and a complete historical overview, this book proves that white people created the initial Egyptian civilization-and that ancient Egypt culture came to an end once those people had been bred out of existence. Contains the dramatic DNA evidence which shows that Tutankhamun was of the same racial stock as present-day western Europeans, additional DNA evidence and much more. "Eurocentric history is back!"

Hesba Stretton (1832-1911) was the nom de plume of Sarah Smith, an English author of children's literature. The name Hesba came from the initials of her siblings. She was the daughter of a bookseller from Wellington, Shropshire, but around 1867 she moved south and lived at Snaresbrook and Loughton near Epping Forest and at Ham, near Richmond, Surrey. Her moral tales and semi-religious stories, chiefly for the young, were printed in huge quantities, and were especially widespread as school and Sunday school prizes. She won wide acceptance in English homes from the publication of Jessica's First Prayer in 1867. She was a regular contributor to Household Words and All the Year Round during Charles Dickens' editorship, and wrote upwards of 40 novels. Her other works include Children of Cloverley (1865), Little Meg's Children (1868), In Prison and Out (1880), No Place Like Home (1881), The Soul of Honour (1898) and Hester Morley's Promise (1899).
