grow out of European folk, fable, fairy tale and legend - all tales
which belong to the domain of the underworld. There are ghosts,
murderesses, blood-soaked enchantment, black humour and stories
with the darkest twists of the imagination - perfect for reading at

Samhain. Draw the chair nearer the fire and enjoy.

Aled is used to his dad Geraint waxing lyrical about some saint's
clifftop lookout; some Greek temple or another hosting a thousand
sacred prostitutes; some village near Corinth. Geraint is the
county archaeologist, after all. So when travel agent Aled takes a
recce trip to that same Peloponnese village, his father is
surprised. When Aled fails to return on the eve of his marriage,
Geraint becomes alarmed and sets out on his trail. This quest,
which is also a pilgrimage, will change all those involved.
Relationships - father and youthful son; son and elderly mother;
fiances, lovers, colleagues - none are immutable. This novel shows
those thresholds of choice, those liminal moments and places where
a door may open onto another world, or at the very least, another
way of relating to the one we have.

An English translation from an acclaimed Welsh writer, this
romantic fantasy novel won the 1992 Welsh National Eisteddfod Prose
Medal.
The Daughter of God is a delightful, reverent, gentle reworking of
the greatest story ever told---only this time, instead of in a
manger, he is born in America, and this time he is a girl. With
mischievous fidelity to the original tale---as the Bible said: "Can
anything good come from Nazareth?" we are asked "Can anything good
come from California?" The answer, given with wit and style, and a
surprising amount of wisdom, is ABSOLUTELY The artwork is glorious.
This book is based on the legendary life of Kathy Williams. Kathy
Williams concealed her true identity by dressing in men's clothing.
She served as a Buffalo Soldier for many years. The only woman to
ever have that honor.
A racy, engaging tale of the public's obsession with Celebrity. Set
in a 5-star Hollywood hotel, Scandal is a delicious guessing
game-who are the characters, really?
