Books with title The Grim Reaper

Excerpt from The ReaperAnd so in a life of toil and peril and love, scarcely different from that of their fathers in the days of the N orse jarl who first burned peat, live the kindly folk of Setter on Snarravoe, of whom I could tell you much, if you would listen. There is a tale of Eric the Elder and Eric the Younger, and how the sea was worsted by them, but in the end had its revenge and of Osla, the bright eyed, silent woman who defied widowhood, in faith unshakable that the dead would return. There is something to say of Magnie the Skipper, who has watched on deck many a night, while the merry dancers were shooting across the sky and the whales drove the herrings into his nets as they spun in the tides meggy-betty could tell you how.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Red ReaperET them say what they will, the die was cast when my lord kissed the king's hand at Berwick. Certain people of the Iago stamp, oily, subtle, intent to entangle, would have gasped, halt in chagrin, half in glee, had they beheld that kiss, and yet more the look of tender appeal and quick response which went before.My lord's eyes shone with a sudden flux of loyalty; the king's smiled graciously, wooingly, and a trifle sadly, as was their wont. To one ever apt in understanding they said unmistakably, I wronged thee; but that was because I was deceived and misled. Forgive and come back. I have need of thee.

But a short month had passed since the Scots army.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
