Sinopse

In "Cutlass and Cudgel," George Manville Fenn crafts a gripping tale of adventure set against the tumultuous backdrop of the high seas. The narrative intertwines vivid characterizations with immersive descriptions, showcasing Fenn'Äôs keen ability to evoke the spirit of maritime exploration and conflict in the late 19th century. Drawing from contemporary themes of heroism and moral ambiguity, Fenn employs a dynamic prose style that captures the excitement of seafaring life, immersing readers into a world fraught with danger, camaraderie, and the struggle for justice amidst piracy and rebellion. George Manville Fenn, an accomplished Victorian novelist and journalist, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in the maritime town of King's Lynn and his lifelong fascination with adventure and exploration. His extensive travels and experiences as a writer for various publications informed his writing, allowing him to produce works that reflect the societal values and dilemmas of his era. This is evident in "Cutlass and Cudgel," where Fenn's personal insights into human nature and the spirit of adventure resonate through his characters. I highly recommend "Cutlass and Cudgel" to readers who appreciate thrilling narratives woven with themes of loyalty and honor. Fenn'Äôs storytelling captivates, making it a compelling read for those drawn to historical tales of adventure and exploring the complexities of morality in the face of adversity.

    "A laugh-out-loud story of rodent mayhem. This book has it all!" – Lenny Lemmon (aka expert boredom buster)
    
    
    Join Lenny and his best friends Sam and Jess in their hysterical hijinks. Expect animals on the loose, paranormal invasions, shut down schools and lots of laughs!
    
    
    It's Olden Days Day and Lenny is determined his class will win the competition. In fact he is certain of it because he's brought in something special ... a RAT! (They totally had those everywhere in the olden times.)
    
    
    But what he wasn't banking on was it escaping and leaving small, gruelly footprints all over the classroom and A LOT of screaming (because Lenny's rat is ACTUALLY a wild rat found by the back of the chip shop).
    
    
    Can the three kids round up the rat before more damage is done? Or will they end up in the headmaster's office, again. Maybe, but one thing is for certain, they're going to need a bigger net!
