  • Dumb Foxglove: And Other Stories

    Annie Trumbull Slosson

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

  • A Sly Fox and Other Stories

    Tatiana Nekras, Stacy Currie

    Paperback (Independently published, June 6, 2019)
    This collection of stories is an adaptation of several fairy tales originally collected by the Russian folklorist Alexander Afanasiev. In folk tales, the fox is often cunning and not at all trustworthy. Two of the stories feature these familiar characteristics. Will friendship and loyalty of the cat overcome the trickery of the fox? Will a sly fox get away with her misdeeds? The third tale presents a different picture of this same character. The hungry wolf has the power, but the fox may be able to outsmart him. Let’s find out what happens...
  • Fools and Other Stories

    Njabulo S. Ndebele

    eBook (Picador Africa Classics, April 2, 2015)
    Fools and Other Stories is an intricate and subtle collection that deals with the formative experiences of growing up in a Johannesburg township during the apartheid years. ‘Fools’, the title story of the collection, is a tale of generations in the struggle against oppression. Zamani, a disgraced middle-aged teacher and Zani, a young student activist, are inadvertently bound together by affection and hostility in an intense and unpredictable relationship. Finding each other means finding common ground of their struggle. It also means re-examining their lives – and notably, their relationships with women.‘The Test’, ‘The Prophetess’, ‘The Music of the Violin’ describe an act of courage and endurance; a close encounter with an awe-inspiring old woman; a choice which must be made between the narrow ambitions of middle-class parents and the challenge of the township streets. ‘Uncle’ celebrates the gift of one generation to another: a gift that mingles music with other adventures of the spirit, recklessness with resourcefulness, and laughter with wisdom.The reissue of, arguably, Ndebele’s most famous work confirms his position as one of South African’s premier short story writers. None of the stories is diminished by time and remain as compelling as when the first made their appearance. A must-read, especially for those with an interest in story-telling of the highest order.

  • And Other Stories

    Arthur Conan Doyle

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, June 25, 2012)
    Title story of this volume was written about eighteen months before the outbreak of the war, and was intended to direct public attention to the great danger which threatened this country. It is a matter of history how fully this warning has been justified and how, even down to the smallest details, the prediction has been fulfilled. The writer must, however, most thankfully admit that what he did not foresee was the energy and ingenuity with which the navy has found means to meet the new conditions. The great silent battle which has been fought beneath the waves has ended in the repulse of an armada far more dangerous than that of Spain. It may be objected that the writer, feeling the danger so strongly, should have taken other means than fiction to put his views before the authorities.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
