  A Yankee student stays at a country house called Tanglewood during a golden New England fall. Also at the house are about a dozen children: younger cousins of the student and their friends of varying ages. The student, as much to amuse himself as to amuse the children, organises games and activities and tells stories. And the stories he tells are wild and fantastic. When his store of fairy tales and folk legends is exhausted he hits on the idea of retelling Greek Myths in his own style.We visit Tanglewood six times during the course of a year and hear six of the student's beautifully told stories: The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, A Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher and The Chimaera. (Summary by Clive Catterall)

  The Light Princess is a short story that is warm and humorous, with a surprisingly poignant conclusion. A princess doomed by a witch to lose her "gravity" results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald's masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story. An EChristian, Inc production.

  A Georgia businessman’s attempt to salvage his struggling marriage with a weekend getaway accidentally sends him on a survival adventure. Looking at John Callaway’s life from a distance, some might say that he’s “living the dream.” At the helm of a successful development company built by his father years before, business success follows him, and Atlanta society has been good to his family. But in a flash, ominous skies overtake the calm seas of his charmed world and threaten to capsize his life. Long past are the lazy summer days on the shores of Tybee Island, where everything was once so simple and pure, where he met the love of his life, Molly—the love that now seems to be slipping from his grasp.  John wants that simplicity again, but is he too far gone? Is there a way back? As the uncertainty of his fate unfolds in the wake of a shipwreck, he is forced to explore the deepest desires of his heart while racing against time and nature to save not only his own life—but also his family.

  The Early History of the Airplane

  The Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air flight, on 17th December 1903. They were not the first to build and fly aircraft, but they invented the controls that were necessary for a pilot to steer the aircraft, which made fixed wing powered flight possible. The Early History of the Airplane consists of three short essays about the beginnings of human flight. The second essay retells the first flight: This flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started.

  From the New York Times–bestselling author of Dune, a sci-fi fantasy about government control of media and information.   Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge—esoterica of all types, history, science, politics—gathered by teams of “pack rats” who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government . . . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia. Herbert, author of Dune.
