Sinopse

T. C. Harbaugh's "Little Oskaloo; or, The White Whirlwind" is a riveting exploration of frontier life in mid-19th century America, merging elements of adventure, drama, and Indigenous rights narratives. The prose is imbued with rich descriptions and a robust sense of place, reflecting the literary style of the period that often romanticized or critiqued the American West. At a time when the nation was captivated by the allure of westward expansion, Harbaugh's work serves as both an artistic commitment to storytelling and a subtle critique of the socio-political dynamics shaping these landscapes. T. C. Harbaugh, a prominent figure in American literature, was shaped by his experiences as a frontiersman and his deep engagement with Native American cultures. His firsthand encounters and nuanced understanding of the conflicts between settlers and Indigenous peoples informed his writing, allowing him to craft a narrative that emphasizes empathy while addressing the complexities of identity and land ownership. His dual perspective as both an observer and participant offers a unique lens through which to view this pivotal era. "Little Oskaloo; or, The White Whirlwind" is an essential read for those interested in American history, literature, and the dynamics of cultural interaction. Harbaugh's skillful storytelling not only entertains but also challenges readers to reflect on the ramifications of expansionist ideals and the experiences of those often marginalized in historical narratives. This work is a vital addition for scholars and enthusiasts alike, resonating with both contemporary and historical themes.

    'Spookily spellbinding - gripped me with an icy finger from the first page' - Catherine Bruton
    Don't open the box, warned the old man.
    But Charlie can't help himself...
    Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
    It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
    When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
    A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
