No one, except Durango.

P.T. Mudd is a boy with an active imagination who loves to tell tall tales. But his wildest stories become reality when he discovers a magical stone that transports him to Muddlia, a land where he becomes the crown prince.

There's only one problem: everyone in Muddlia believes everything they're told. So, they naturally believe P.T. when he tells them that he is the greatest hero in the world, and they also trust him when he says that the Ultimate Evil of the Universe, Blotto Ratspaw, is putting together an army on the edge of their fair land.

Although the people of Muddlia have never known war, they follow P.T.'s advice to create their own army to save Muddlia from Ratspaw. Joined by new friends Chicki-Baby, a big blue talking chicken, and Belinda Bosh, a girl his own age who dreams of being a great champion, P.T. leads the trusting Muddlians off to war.

As P.T. boldly leads his loyal subjects, things begin to go terribly wrong. Unexpectedly, P.T. and his army are fighting against a very real, very nasty enemy. Now, P.T. must make an awful choice. Will he save the innocent Muddlians, or think only of himself and escape back to home and safety?

THE TEENAGED CAPTAIN

"The sailors knew that they were lost. All rose, giving a terrible cry, which was perhaps heard on the "Pilgrim," A terrible blow from the monster's tail had just struck the whale-boat underneath. The boat, thrown into the air with irresistible violence, fell back, broken in three pieces, in the midst of waves furiously lashed by the whale's bounds."

Young Dick Sand has just been a sailor on the "Pilgrim," a whaler on a Pacific Ocean hunt between South America and New Zealand.

But the captain and the rest of the crew have been killed trying to harpoon a whale.

Now fifteen year old Dick was captain

Nor was this to be a simple voyage to safety, even as he tries to train castaways from another shipwreck Tom, Acton, Austin, Bat, Nan and even Dingo the dog to help him with the vessel.

For the cook, Negoro, has other plans for the crew and passengers of the "Pilgrim,"

Trick the boat to a course to Angola -- and sell Dick and all the others into slavery

Thornton Burgess's tales of woodland and meadow have delighted readers young and old for nearly a century.

The world will soon face the evil written in the chapters of Revelation. The devil's hatred for all humanity continues to brew, and now he has come to exert his true power.

With the end near, the Kingdom of Galath must gather with other nations to fight the terrible army brought forth by Lucifer. But they struggle against a mighty force: buildings crumble as the dark armies decimate cities, and demons from the abyss terrorize the human race. In a well-calculated move, the devil reveals a beast, mortally wounded but miraculously healed, who takes human form to snatch the minds of people. He is the dreaded false prophet, and the weak and easily seduced fall to him in droves.

Hope is fading . but not lost. Dark and light collide in "The Earthen Realm," a spellbinding fantasy novel about the final battle between good and evil.
