Synopsis

Venture into the untamed imaginations of the American Indians, Australians, and Africans in this distinct volume of folklore. The stories depart from the European castle-and-king motifs to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Trickster animals, shapeshifters, and elemental spirits dominate the narratives, offering a glimpse into the diverse cosmologies of indigenous peoples. It is a celebration of the oral traditions that explain the mysteries of the wild.

    Today the world is awash with “celebrities” whose only accomplishment is being celebrated by the media in all its various forms. Henry James, of course, long pre-dates the multiplicity of media in today’s world, when the press was the main source of adulation, and he was famously averse to giving newspaper interviews himself. For those interested in the sources of celebrity worship, however, his story, “The Papers,” showing how two aspiring London journalists worked with those who were famous simply for being famous, helps to give some idea of how such worship was practiced a century ago.

    "Cocky. Jaw-droppingly sexy. A patient in my emergency room. As an ER nurse, I've seen a lot of things, but this might take the cake. Because the charming hottie packing a whole lotta somethin' somethin' beneath his hospital gown? He's all kinds of naughty trouble. And I have time for exactly none of it. I didn't expect to see Cade again - never expected the guy I treated for a monster erection in my ER would turn out to be the sweet, single dad I'm now secretly lusting over. Complicated doesn't even begin to cover it. "
