Summary

In "Two Boys in Wyoming: A Tale of Adventure," Edward Sylvester Ellis immerses readers in the rugged landscapes of the American West, weaving a tale that is both an exciting adventure and a coming-of-age story. Written in the late 19th century, Ellis's prose combines vivid descriptions of the natural environment with exciting plot twists, reflecting the period's fascination with frontier life and exploration. The narrative follows two boys as they navigate challenges of ranch life, encounter Native American tribes, and confront the dangers of the wild, all while capturing the spirit of youth and resilience in an ever-changing landscape. Edward Sylvester Ellis was a prolific American author known for his adventure novels aimed at young readers, often inspired by his own experiences and the tales of frontier life. Born in 1840, he wrote extensively about the American wilderness, integrating themes of exploration, bravery, and moral development. His background in teaching and his engagement with various youth movements during the late 1800s undoubtedly propelled him to write this compelling narrative that equally entertains and instructs. I highly recommend "Two Boys in Wyoming" for anyone interested in classic American literature, young adult adventure, or the historical context of the frontier. This engaging tale not only provides thrilling escapades but also offers insights into perseverance and friendship, making it a timeless read for both youth and adults.

    YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD MY STORY BEFORE…

 
At twenty-seven, I’m too young to be a widow. I’m trying my best to start over though: new city, new job running my own little shop. I try to fade into the background where I can, but the police won’t let me disappear completely. There are too many unanswered questions about the night my husband died.

 
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME…

 
I even have a new lodger, Elizabeth. She’s friendly, but definitely not a friend. Beautiful, too – tall and slim with the sort of swishy blonde hair I’ve always coveted. She smiles at me when we pass on the stairs. It occurs to me then that I don’t know the first thing about her.

 
…BUT YOU’RE SO, SO WRONG.

 
If I were to tell you what happened to us next, you wouldn’t believe me. You might believe Elizabeth – she’s the type who people trust – until it’s too late.

 
I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself.

 
If you read one book this year, make it this one. A tense, gripping psychological thriller for anyone who raced through The Girl Before, Behind Her Eyes, or The Girl on the Train.

    "Rapunzel" is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales.
A lonely couple, who want a child, live next to a walled garden belonging to a sorceress. The wife, experiencing the cravings associated with the arrival of her long-awaited pregnancy, notices some rapunzel, growing in the garden and longs for it. She refuses to eat anything else and gets sick, and the husband begins to fear for her life. One night, her husband breaks into the garden to get some for her. She makes a salad out of it and greedily eats it. It tastes so good that she longs for more. So her husband goes to get some more for her. As he scales the wall to return home, the sorceress catches him and accuses him of theft. He begs for mercy, and she agrees to be lenient, and allows him to take all the rapunzel he wants, on condition that the baby be given to her when it's born. Desperate, he agrees. When his wife has a baby girl, the sorceress takes her to raise as her own and names her "Rapunzel" after the plant her mother craved. She grows up to be the most beautiful child in the world, with long golden hair. When she turns twelve, the sorceress locks her up inside a tower in the middle of the woods, with neither stairs nor a door, and only one room and one window. In order to visit Rapunzel, the sorceress stands beneath the tower and calls out: Rapunzel! Rapunzel!...
