Connor Jackson lives a quiet life in Lower Molehampton. He lives in the house he was born and brought up in and, apart from his secretive job as a civil servant, he pretty much lives an ordinary life. That is until one morning, when Connor is woken up by something, so he decides to investigate. He notices a massive molehill in the middle of his back garden; molehills have always been a feature in Lower Molehampton, but there appear to be more than ever now, and this one is huge. Upon closer inspection of this mountain molehill which has appeared during the night, Connor discovers a glass jar sitting in the centre of the mound. Thinking nothing more than this being a strange occurrence, Connor hides the jar away and forgets about it altogether. That is until a few months later when, late one evening, Connor is ambushed in his home by two sets of intruders. Attempting to flee, he is eventually captured. Fearing for his life and not knowing what these kidnappers want, Connor is thrown into a world which he never would have expected: into a world where he discovers the truth about life and death

1967 Plays Inc. hardcover. Moritz Jagendorf (Magic Boat). Short cut to constructive play, both in the making of puppets for little money and in little time, but in using them in original, brief plays, which children can cope with themselves, once the initial hurdle is taken. Designed for fairly young children (9 to 12). First of all, the kinds of puppet theatres and how to build them, with clear cut, simple directions and diagrams. The equipment, and how to make it -- and to use it. - Kirkus Review

At first, it seems there is no escape from her fate of having to marry an unprepossessing man, chosen for her by her mother and father. A family visit to Athens to attend church meetings gives Jamie the chance to make a life for herself. The Parthenon and Acropolis form the backdrop of her burgeoning relationship with the handsome and attractive Alexander, whom she meets at the ancient sites. However, it turns out that he is a pagan priest and thus, an anathema to the members of the Christian sect. Jamie is destined to become its leader but can she take on that role and still be with Alexander? Events take a sinister turn and lives are at risk. What choice will she even be able to make when so much is against her?
