  THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919 
  Book 2 of 6 The Mystery of the Rusty Lantern 
  The summary of this first book in the series is as follows: 
  In 1919, six adventurous Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—discover an old lantern in Ashdown Forest with a cryptic riddle etched into its base: "Seek where the raven guards the past, beneath the stones where shadows last." Following clues to a raven-haunted monolith and a hidden stone circle, they unearth an 1859 surveyor’s journal and smuggler’s treasure. The journal leads them to a legendary healing spring, where they witness its miraculous properties first hand. Their findings attract local historians, revealing the lantern’s ties to forest wardens and Napoleonic-era smugglers. Celebrated as junior historians, the girls return their discoveries to the village museum, proud to have preserved a piece of Sussex’s past. As they gather around their campfire, the restored lantern’s glow reminds them that the forest still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered—and their next adventure is just beginning. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel and looking forward to the next story in the series.  
  The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!  
  I do hope you and your family enjoy this story, please let me know.

  Did you know President Woodrow Wilson suffered a paralyzing stroke that his wife and doctors concealed for months? Or that Mrs. Wilson took total charge of his presidential duties? Neither did the American public. Did you know President John F. Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease and was heavily medicated for years? Neither did most people. Too often when a president is sick or dying, he and the people around him have hidden his condition from the public, wanting to project an image of strength and power. 
    
  In this fascinating and provocative new installment in her acclaimed Medical Fiascoes series, author Gail Jarrow explores presidential cover-ups from the 19th to the 21st century—from James Garfield to Joe Biden. White House Secrets provides the historical context to help young readers understand issues of media literacy and presidential candor that are more relevant than ever in the 21st century. 
    
  "Well researched and succinctly written, each chapter tells a different tale based on secrets kept by presidents and those who wanted to protect them. An intriguing topic explored in compelling true stories."—Booklist

  A showdown on Mount Carmel. A challenge of fire. And a group of hungry birds watching from above.Three scrappy buzzards circle the sky, their beady eyes locked onto the scene below. They’ve caught wind of something big—and to them, that means one thing: dinner is coming.Below, the greatest contest in history is about to unfold. The prophet Elijah stands boldly before the people, challenging the false prophets of Baal to a test. "The God who answers by fire—He is the true God!"Perched nearby, two ravens—Elijah’s loyal friends—watch with suspicion as the buzzards drop in. They know Queen Jezebel’s prophets are up to no good. But the buzzards? They aren’t interested in prophecies or truth. They have one motto:“You die, we dine. We clean up the world for dinner!”The false prophets go first, crying out to Baal, dancing, shouting, even cutting themselves—but nothing happens. No fi re. No answer.Then Elijah steps forward. And just to prove there’s no trickery, he orders water— not once, not twice, but three times— poured over the sacrifice until it’s soaked.Now, the moment of truth. Will the God of Israel answer? Will the fi re fall? Will the buzzards finally get their feast?
