Sinopse

The mystery of Bigfoot has endured for generations, folklore has touched on this through the centuries and yet we have not come any closer to recognising this phenomenon as a reality. How can this be when countless numbers of people have witnessed these incredible beings? Even in the United Kingdom there have been many reports, including modern day encounters. Are all these witnesses mad or is there some truth behind this myth? The Green Man adorns many Medieval Churches and Cathedrals dotted around the British countryside…. but what do they all mean? This whole mystery has stretched through hundreds of years, and across different continents, so isn't it about time that we can get some answers? A 10 year journey has culminated in some explosive revelations that will throw some light upon this enduring mystery. For example: what has William Shakespeare got to do with Bigfoot? And did Charles Dickens even carry on with this storyline? And one of the most iconic fictional characters celebrated around the world will come under the spotlight and their true origins will be revealed. But is this a fictional character or one based upon a folklore reality? And does that historical reality live on into the modern world? Thought provoking statements will be made that will get you thinking about the things that you accepted since childhood. Will Christmas ever feel the same again after reading this book? Is Bigfoot just a Fairy Tale or is there a magical world out there that we are only just starting to explore? Fairy Tale or a Tale that has links to historical references to Fairies? You be the judge, but as they say, seeing is believing and that is exactly what this book will offer some the chance of doing. Your own journey into the Bigfoot World starts right here….

    On a journey of discovery into her parents history of love and fame in war torn Italy, Adela Edgecombe discovered a secret deception within love letters and from family who had been tight-lipped about the scandals for decades.            Bestselling author Jincy Willett describes the story as follows: "Since every human personality is at root mysterious, all families present us with an abundance of mysteries, the chief of which is often how marriages ever happened in the first place. In her family memoir, Adela Edgecombe tackles that mystery head-on, uncovering a web of circumstances peculiar to place and time. The place is the Province of Salerno, Italy; the time,1944, the depths of World War II. A young American GI meets an impoverished Italian family, grows to care for them, and, as he leaves for the front, promises a nine-year-old child that one day he will return and help them. And does the man, against all odds, keep that promise? Judging from the fairy-tale wedding that took place in Passiano in 1951 and was featured in Life Magazine, it would seem so.           "Edgecombe explores that fairy tale moment, how it came to pass, and what followed after. She digs fearlessly into the mystery of an unhappy marriage that began with such photogenic joy and hope. Read Whispers of Betrayal for a well-researched, surprising, and moving tale which reminds us that the casualties of war are many and varied."

    A heart-warming and hilarious family memoir of growing up as one of eleven siblings raised by a single dad in Northern Ireland at the end of the Troubles. Séamas O’Reilly’s mother died when he was five, leaving him, his ten (!) brothers and sisters, and their beloved father in their sprawling bungalow in rural Derry. It was the 1990s; the Troubles were a background rumble, but Séamas was more preoccupied with dinosaurs, Star Wars, and the actual location of heaven than the political climate. ­  An instant bestseller in Ireland, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? is a book about a family of loud, argumentative, musical, sarcastic, grief-stricken siblings, shepherded into adulthood by a man whose foibles and reticence were matched only by his love for his children and his determination that they would flourish.  “In this joyous, wildly unconventional memoir, Séamas O'Reilly tells the story of losing his mother as a child and growing up with ten siblings in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles as a raucous comedy, a grand caper that is absolutely bursting with life.”―Patrick Radden Keefe, NYT bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year

    The riveting account of the 1980s rivalry between superstars Anna Wintour of Vogue and Tina Brown of Vanity Fair 
     
    Inside the Condé Nast magazine world, Anna Wintour and Tina Brown were bold and talented British women who fought their way to the top of a male-dominated American industry. Wintour became an icon of fashion and New York's high society, while Brown helped define the intersection between literary culture and Hollywood celebrity. 
     
    They jockeyed for power in the hyper-competitive "off with their heads" atmosphere set up by S.I Newhouse Jr. and Alex Liberman, the two men who controlled the glossy magazines that dictated how women should look, dress, and feel. Wintour and Brown challenged the old rules and made billionaire Newhouse's company internationally famous. Ultimately, one of them won in their fascinating struggle for fame and fortune during the height of New York's gilded age of print. 
     
    At its heart, ALL THAT GLITTERS is a parable about the changes in America's media where corruption is sprinkled with glitter, power and glory. Originally titled Newhouse, this re-issued version will feature a brand-new introduction and afterword.

    A Broadway Stage Manager's pandemic memoir! 
    March 12, 2020 
    Last night, after weeks of downplaying and ridiculing the virus, we were finally told by our President, that it is, in fact, serious… 
    And so, it began. Broadway shut down. Instead of sitting in a darkened theatre every night watching Jersey Boys, Richard Hester found himself sitting on his sofa glued to the news. Hold, Please chronicles what came next from the particular point of view of a career Broadway stage manager living in Manhattan. Part journal, part blog, these essays attempted to make sense of the crisis and what it was doing to us. 
    What follows is a journey through one of the most fascinating periods in both our cultural and our personal histories. Written with humor and compassion, Hold, Please provides a unique perspective on this time and delivers the most important lesson of all - Hope. 
    “I’ve watched Richard create order out of chaos for years, so it comes as no surprise when he was able to do it again with these beautiful posts. Together they create a powerful reminder of where we’ve been as well as a thoughtful and compassionate guide for moving ahead.” - Bernadette Peters 
    “I am so grateful that Richard wrote all of this down so that I don’t have to remember it myself.” - Patti LuPone  
    “(Hester) describes such experiences in a warm, conversational tone in a book in which his lyrical writing about the natural world adds dimension to humorous stories about working—and not working—from home....Hester interweaves descriptions of living through Covid-19 with stories of his colorful theatrical career…” - Kirkus Reviews
