Higgledy-Piggledy - or Stories for Everybody and Everybody's Children (illustrated)

Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen

Sinopse

Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen presents us with his usual Christmas contribution in the shape of six stories in a volume bearing the title of ‘Higgledy-Piggledy.’ In the ‘Crone of Charing’ we have a real witch of the older kind who victimizes an honest carrier, puts life into milestones and sign-posts, scoffs at Justices of the Peace, and despises constables. ‘The Squirrel and the Hedgehog’ is a tale of woodland life, whilst ‘The Pig of Cheriton’ relates the adventures of a camel who was captured by fairies, and only released (under the directions of the pig) by certain difficult and curious methods, one of which required the silence of a respectable female for a longer period than females (respectable or not) are won’t to remain silent. In ‘The Mermaid’s Boy’ a lost prince receives a marine education at the hands of the sisters of the sea; and in ‘Prince Merimel,’ the ‘Faun of the Capitol’ and other statues, appear in a totally new character. The last tale is ‘Billy’s Story,’ which may be left to speak for itself. Includes nine illustrations from original images by Richard Doyle engraved on wood by G. Pearson. —Notes on Books, 1875

The Book of Five Rings

Miyamoto Musashi

The Book of Five Rings is a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. 
Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle.
