Roverandom

J. R. R. Tolkien

Sinopse

Before hobbits and rings, there was a little dog named Rover—turned into a toy by a grumpy wizard and swept into an unforgettable adventure across land, sea, and even the moon. In Roverandom, J.R.R. Tolkien crafts a whimsical, magical tale written originally to comfort his young son after losing a beloved toy dog. What begins as a simple misfortune blossoms into a journey through enchanted islands, undersea kingdoms, and the mysterious Moon, where Rover must outwit dragons, meet moon-dogs, and find his way home. Bursting with charm, imagination, and gentle humor, Roverandom reveals the playful heart of Tolkien's genius, delighting both children and adults with its lyrical storytelling and fantastical scope. A hidden gem that proves Tolkien's mastery beyond Middle-earth.

Druids Raptors and Egyptians

Thomas Kennedy

Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure.
A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present.
When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’.
Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.
And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt.
Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line.
Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.
The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.
He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World.
The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’
The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them.
Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.

Shepard, "Winnie-the-Pooh" has remained a classic of children's literature for decades and the characters have been immortalized in countless screen and television adaptations.The stories are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

The Skull

Philip K. Dick

The Skull by Philip K. Dick - Conger agreed to kill a stranger he had never seen. But he would make no mistakes because he had the stranger's skull under his arm. 
"WHAT is this opportunity?" Conger asked. "Go on. I'm interested." 
The room was silent; all faces were fixed on Conger—still in the drab prison uniform. The Speaker leaned forward slowly. 
"Before you went to prison your trading business was paying well—all illegal—all very profitable. Now you have nothing, except the prospect of another six years in a cell." 
Conger scowled. 
"There is a certain situation, very important to this Council, that requires your peculiar abilities. Also, it is a situation you might find interesting. You were a hunter, were you not? You've done a great deal of trapping, hiding in the bushes, waiting at night for the game? I imagine hunting must be a source of satisfaction to you, the chase, the stalking—" 
Conger sighed. His lips twisted. "All right," he said. "Leave that out. Get to the point. Who do you want me to kill?" 
The Speaker smiled. "All in proper sequence," he said softly.
