The Story of the Amulet is a novel for children, written in 1906 by E. Nesbit. It is the final part of a trilogy of novels that also includes Five Children and It (1902) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904). In it the children re-encounter the Psammead—the "it" in Five Children and It. As it no longer grants wishes to the children, however, its capacity is mainly advisory in relation to the children's other discovery, the Amulet, thus following a formula successfully established in The Phoenix and the Carpet.Voir livre
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. Guy de Maupassant is justly revered as one of the strongest proponents of the short story. The miniature gems he created are woven from the many worlds and strata of society that surrounded him. From feuds and revenge to tales of avarice and friendship de Maupassant is the master of all and second to none. 01 - The Top 10 - Guy de Maupassant - An Introduction 02 - Guy de Maupassant - An Introduction 03 - Le Horla by Guy de Maupassant 04 - Regret by Guy de Maupassant 05 - The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant 06 - The Dowry by Guy de Maupassant 07 - The Kiss by Guy de Maupassant 08 - The Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant 09 - Suicides by Guy de Maupassant 10 - Two Friends by Guy de Maupassant 11 - Two Little Soldiers by Guy de Maupassant 12 - Mother Sauvage (La Mere Sauvage) by Guy de MaupassantVoir livre

This collection of 21 short stories was gathered from all of my present works and some that were never published before, and in fact just recently completed.

I hope that you find it a quick and enjoyable read. Thank You for choosing this book to read. Paul A.Hernandez 2024Voir livre

An emotional read in the Seabreeze Farm series, from best-selling author Jo Bartlett... have your tissues ready! A summer to remember... Georgia Banks knows she’s living on borrowed time. So, when doctors tell her she’s got one last summer to make all her dreams come true, she’s determined to make every day count. The one thing that’s never in doubt, is that she wants her best friend, Gabe, to be with her every step of the way. And so, Georgia draws up her not-a-bucket list with all the things she’s determined to tick off before she goes – number one of which is to spend one last summer by the sea. Seabreeze Farm perched high on the cliffs above the English Channel is the perfect spot, and surrounded by the antics of its menagerie of rescued animals and the warmth of the friendship she’s offered there, Georgia starts to believe she can live out all her dreams before it’s too late. And just when she thinks there’s nothing left to wish for, Georgia gets another chance at life. But taking it might mean losing the one person she cares about the most. As she faces her biggest challenge yet, Georgia wonders if her last summer at Seabreeze Farm will mean the end of her biggest dream of all.
