Sinopse

Once Upon the Future is an anthology of fictional stories written for children age 7-12 inspired by the research of six sustainability scientists. Each story is sprinkled with humor and magical realism, enlivened with beautiful illustrations, and complemented by educational resources. Using simple yet vibrant language, the stories convey insights on circular food economies, rural development and cultural textile traditions, forest commoning practices, biodiversity conservation and regeneration, youth in urban governance, and the importance of values and imagination for sustainability leadership.

    Edward Frederic Benson was born in Berkshire, England on 24th July 1867. 
    Educated at Marlborough and Kings College Cambridge he began his career as a writer at an early age and was published whilst still studying. 
    Benson was also a gifted athlete and represented his country at figure skating. 
    His career was prodigious and widely acknowledged.  Perhaps he is best known for his collection of novels about ‘Mapp & Lucia’ which have proved very popular throughout the decades.   
    Benson was also well regarded as a writer of ghost stories—‘spook stories’ in the then vernacular—as well as biographies.  His ghost and supernatural fiction covered a range of subjects but all were exceptionally well-written, drenched in atmosphere, riven with chills and have stood the test of popularity over the decades as testament to his literary talents.  
    Benson was never married and practised his homosexuality discreetly. 
    E F Benson died on 29th February 1940 at University College Hospital, London of throat cancer.  He was 72.

    Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this audiobook, Ken loses a couple of his favourite mature bottoms to spank but they are very quickly replaced with three others. Rose the barmaid loves to be spanked just like her Daddy spanked her when she was a child. Bridget works in the local deli and she can take a lot of spanking. Holly is Bridget’s friend and Rose’s sister and she needs punishment for her naughtiness.

    Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories  
    Jason Roberts 
    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
    NJSpank 
    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    In these four stories, written between 1900 and 1902, Joseph Conrad bid gradual farewell to his adventurous life at sea and began to confront the more daunting complexities of life on land in the twentieth century. In 'Typhoon' Conrad reveals, in the steadfast courage of an undemonstrative captain and the imaginative readiness of his young first mate, the differences between instinct and intelligence in a partnership vital to human survival. 'Falk', the companion sea-story, contrasts, as Conrad once put it, 'common sentimentalism with the frank standpoint of a more or less primitive man', a man with a conscience, however, about the girl he desires. In one of the 'land-stories' Conrad explores the utter isolation of an East European emigrant in England; in the other, the plight of a woman ironically trapped by the unwitting alliance of two retired widowers - each blind in his own way.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Ella D'Arcy - A Short Story...

    Ella D'Arcy was born on 23rd August 1857 in London, one of nine children.  
     
    Her education spanned London, Germany, France and the Channel Islands. A student of fine art, her poor eyesight meant a switch to literature was needed and with this she had hopes to be an author. 
     
    She worked as a contributor and unofficial editor, alongside Henry Harland, to The Yellow Book, Aubrey Beardsley’s sensational quarterly magazine that combined art, stories, poetry, essays and much else besides.  D'Arcy wrote several stories for the magazine and her stories have an undeniable psychological and realist style through her engagement with various themes from marriage, the family, imitation through to deception.  
     
    Recognition of her talents grew after the publication of ‘Irremediable’, in the Yellow Book, where it received much praise from critics.   
     
    She also wrote and published in the Argosy, Blackwood's Magazine, and Temple Bar.  
     
    However, D’Arcy’s canon was small and, apart from her magazine stories, her book publishing was limited to ‘Monochromes’ (1895), ‘Modern Instances’ and ‘The Bishop’s Dilemma’ (1898). She also translated André Maurois's biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley entitled ‘Ariel’ (1924). 
     
    Her diligence with work aside she was notorious for her inability to maintain relationships with friends.  When she did appear to them it was often unannounced.  This earned her the sobriquet 'Goblin Ella.' 
     
    D'Arcy spent much of her life living alone, though she had a constant urge to travel, but usually she resided on the edge of poverty. Her writing was often motivated by this need. 
     
    Much of her later life was spent in Paris before returning to London in 1937, where she died, in hospital, on 5th September 1937.
