Double bill of Disney's 'Peter Pan' adventures. The first film, 'Peter Pan' (1953), tells the story of what happens when Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up, visits the Darling family nursery and takes the children on a magical journey to Never Land. When they arrive they become embroiled in an on-going battle between Peter, his friends the Lost Boys, and the wicked Captain Hook, a pirate who has lost his hand and his watch to a hungry crocodile.
In the sequel, 'Return to Never Land' (2001), Wendy Darling is now a grown-up woman with a 12-year-old daughter of her own; but the daughter, Jane, no longer believes her mother's tales about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, thinking herself too old for stories of fairies and magical lands. So when Captain Hook's pirate ship appears in the sky above London and swoops down to kidnap the cynical young lady, it's fair to say that she has to reconsider her worldview. Held captive in Never Land, Jane discovers that Hook is still out to get Peter Pan - but can she find a way to help Peter avoid the pirate's trap?
Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the first climb of the
Matterhorn by Edward Whymper and his party in July1865, this large
format pictorial book features over 100 pages of photographs of the
world's most recognisable mountain, together with tantalising
extracts from Whymper's own book The Ascent of the Matterhorn, and
the details of Graeme Wallace's attempt to traverse the summit up
via the Lion Ridge in Italy and down the Hornli Ridge in
Switzerland, 150 years later in 2015. Back in 1865, a series of
remarkable coincidences brought together several ambitious British
mountaineers in a race to first ascend the 4478 metre Matterhorn.
Referred to as The Devil's Mountain and believed to be the place
where only spirits dwelt, the Matterhorn was considered
un-scalable. While the hurriedly formed British team tackled the
unknown north-east ridge, a well-funded Italian team, with a two
day head start, approached up via the south-west ridge. The race to
finally conquer the mighty Matterhorn was truly on.Success was
followed by disaster and despite becoming the most successful
mountaineer of his day, stories of triumph, transgression and
tragedy would follow Whymper for the rest of his 46 years of life.

The crime was unthinkable: a respected doctor is convicted of
brutally murdering his pregnant wife. The trial that followed was a
media circus--one often compared to the O.J. Simpson trial. The
popularity of the case would go on to be one of the alleged
inspirations of the TV show "The Fugitive" (and later the Harrison
Ford movie of the same name)-something the creators deny, but fans
insist is true. This book proves that truth is always more
interesting than fiction. It looks at the murder, the suspects, and
the ultimate outcome of one of the most notorious murders of all
time.
How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle create a character so real and
life-like? In a nutshell: he didn't As is often the case, fiction
stems from real life. In the case of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle's
inspiration was Joseph Bell. While Joseph Bell doesn't have near
the fame of his fictitious counterpart, Bell was actually a pioneer
of forensic science. Bell's unique skills at observation and
deduction made him a celebrity and famous lecturer in his homeland
of Scotland. This book traces the life and times of one of the most
important, but largely overlooked, scientists who ever lived.
The rumored famous last words of serial killer Thomas Neill Cream
was "I am Jack the..." Cream was in prison at the time of the
Ripper murders, but that didn't matter...he was fascinated by
London's premiere serial killer, and perhaps a part of him believed
that his own killings established some kind of killer bond. Cream
may not have been the infamous Jack the Ripper, but he was just as
brutal and sadistic. Cream could have settled being a respected
surgeon, but there was something about taking a human life that he
just could not resist. In this book, we'll take you on the trail of
this doctor turned madman--from his first murders to his ultimate
capture and trial.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1898 Edition.
DESCRIPTION The murdered. They stole. And they did it all to
excess. Unlike other bandits of early America, they didn't do it
for the money-they did it for the thrill and love of blood. They
were the Harpe Brothers, and they have been called America's first
true serial killers. In this gripping narrative, the crimes and the
lives of America's most notorious sibling killers is documented
like a page-turning novel.
The murder of Mary Rogers may not be well known today, but in the
19th century, it was one of the most compelling murders of the
century. It became a national sensation--so much so that Edgar
Allan Poe used it as the inspiration for his story "The Mystery of
Marie Roget." This chilling narrative will take you back in time to
1838, where you will learn the details of the case and how it
became a national phenomenon.
In the early 1900s young women began disappearing near Budapest.
Bela Kiss, a handsome young soldier, answered the call of war and
left his home to fight in the first World War. His landlord, upon
hearing of Kiss's alleged death, discovered several large barrels
on his property, which he was told were filled with gasoline for
rationing. When the barrels were opened, instead of gasoline, the
authorities discovered something much more sinister. This short
history describes the hunt for one of the world's most terrifying
killers, a man who lured women to him home with promises of
marriage, then proceeded to strangle them, drain their blood, and
leave their pickled bodies preserved in barrels. The most
horrifying fact about his crimes may be that he was never caught,
and possibly picked up his murder spree in New York City. Read the
chilling details in this book, and be careful next time you answer
a romance ad
In the world of outlaws, few are as famous as Bonnie and Clyde.
Their legend has become a folktale in American history, and their
crimes have been exploited as heroic. The real story of Bonnie and
Clyde does not carry the glamour of the Hollywood movies that have
helped cement their names in American history while portraying them
as victims and idealistic lovers. This is the real story of Bonnie
and Crime-the brutal, gripping, page-turning story.
The subject of a classic history by Herbert Asbury and an Academy
Award nominated film by Martin Scorsese, the gangs of The Five
Points in New York have become the stuff of legend. But how much is
legend and how much is fact? In this short book we examine the
original gangs of the Five Points in New York and see how accurate
the film was (spoiler alert: not very) and what Asbury may have
gotten wrong in his original research on this era. From the Bowery
Boys to the Dead Rabbits, we look at the gangs that operated not
just in the Five Points, but also those who wanted a piece of the
action there and engaged in gang wars that would leave even modern
thugs quivering in their boots
