In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothers - a note that makes her question memories of their disappearance and her father’s departure. A beguiling story that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can live - and even thrive - under a burning sun, Flyaway introduces readers to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, cursed monsters, and enchanted bottles.
A fabulous debut of folk tales and fantasies by an award winning author and illustrator. Small fires start in the hearts of Kathleen Jennings’s characters and irresistibly spread to those around them. Journeys are taken, debts repaid, disguises put on, and lessons offered — although not often learned — in these fantastic tales. Jennings's confident voice lulls readers into stepping off the known paths to find "Undine Love,” “The Heart of Owl Abbas,” and further unexpected places and people.
Typical of the gentlefolk who came to the Kentucky frontier in the last thirty years of the Eighteenth century are the twelve families grouped in this series, known as Louisville's First Families. An effort has been made to picture the early social life of Louisville as inaugurated by the twelve families included and by similar families of culture and refinement that emigrated from Virginia, Mary land and Pennsylvania to the wilderness in the late seventeen hundreds. From family records and traditions that have come down, verbally, through the several genera tions, material was obtained with which to illustrate the permanency of these families in the city, listing the descendants of the pioneers, to link the Eighteenth century with the Twentieth, and to in-dicate the shaping influence of such people upon the growth of a community. The twelve families documented in this work are: The Bullitt family, Prather family, Clark family, Churchill family, Pope family, Speed family, Joyes family, Veech family, Thruston family, Taylor family, Bate family, and the Floyd family. Paperback, ((1920), repr. 2011, Illus., 176 pp.
