In this collection of short tales born in a creative writing group,
Susan Widdicombe portrays the vicissitudes of an eclectic group of
characters as they struggle to overcome life's many problems. A
dog's fidelity to his mistress is put to the test in 'Taking Sides'
while the joys and compromises of old age are highlighted in 'A
Walk in the Park' and 'Sex and Love'. Some of the stories are set
in Southern Africa while others take us to France, Italy or Spain.
Some celebrate the comedy of the human experience while others
highlight its tragedy. But all invite us to reflect on our options
and on the consequences of our choices as we navigate through the
changing kaleidoscope of our individual lives on Planet Earth and
elsewhere. Tales of Inner Turmoil I offers us a set of quirky short
stories as entertaining as they are thought-provoking.

Whisanant, and traces the unique family history from its origins in
Ireland all the way until contemporary times. Volume Twelve of The
Whisanant Mythos.
Drawn to Life is a two-volume collection of the legendary lectures
of long-time Disney animator Walt Stanchfield. For over 20 years,
Walt mentored a new generation of animators at the Walt Disney

have become must-have lessons for fine artists, film professionals,
animators, and students looking for inspiration and essential
training in drawing and the art of animation. Written by Walt
Stanchfield (1919–2000), who began work for the Walt Disney
Studios in the 1950s. His work can be seen in films such as
Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, and Peter Pan.

whose credits include the classic Beauty and the Beast, The Lion
King, and Hunchback of Notre Dame.
