  Just because dreams happen in your sleep doesn’t mean they stay there… 
  After too many coincidences and strange happenings, eleven year old Daphne Mulligan begins to believe that her dreams are more than just nighttime wanderings. A recurring dream keeps bringing the foster child back to a ghostly, snow-covered shack. Her regard for the rules and investigative skills are put to the test as she unravels the dark truth of what happened to the family that once lived there. 
  "Absolutely magical." 
  "This book is addictive." 
  "A heart-wrenching and heart-warming book." 
  "Do NOT read this when you should really be going to bed... because you'll keep telling yourself just one more chapter... and then you'll end up staying awake far too late (and may even oversleep the next day)."

  It is said that a surgeon must have ‘the eyes of a hawk, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a lady,’ but have you ever wondered how a surgeon learns to operate, how he ‘cuts his teeth’ progressing from naive newly-qualified doctor to competent surgeon? 
  In this collection of medical tales, the training of one slightly naive young trainee is viewed through the experiences of the patients he treats as he embarks on this most challenging of careers. We share his joy when things go well, his anguish when they don’t and learn that, at the end of the day, compassion and a sense of humour make wonderful medicine.

  Serpent in the Cave by Emilio...

  Emilio Salgari

  Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, narrates a classic boys’ adventure by Emilio Salgari (1862–1911), one of Italy’s most prolific and bestselling authors. Set in the jungles of the Amazon, the tale follows hunters in pursuit of a legendary serpent of colossal size. 
  The story brims with action-filled passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones and draws listeners into an exotic landscape where forked tongues and sharp teeth lurk in dark caves. 
  Salgari was an armchair adventurer of the worst kind, and his descriptions of indigenous peoples are marked by the prejudices common in his day. Yet, because his yarn is so preposterous and grounded in practically no first-hand experience, it is perhaps possible to forgive as mere entertainment. 
  This is a journey with the “grandfather” of Italian popular fiction—the Italian counterpart to Karl May (1842–1912) in Germany and H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) in Britain. 
  The short intro was adapted from a creative commons flamenco performance at YouTube.
