Pig Tale by Verlyn Flieger Pdf

Near the village of Little Wicken, a baby girl is found abandoned in a field. Unwanted and unloved, the foundling grows up, existing on the grudging charity of the villagers. It is only when they notice her way with animals that the girl is given a permanent place—as a pig herder—and a name: Mokie, meaning “Little Pig Girl.” After a brutal attack by the village boys, fifteen-year-old Mokie flees with her beloved pig, Apple, into the heart of the mysterious Wickenwood. It is there that Mokie meets a trio of Gypsies, who take her under their wing. But she soon discovers that her new friends are more than they appear to be. Could they hold the key to her past. . .and her future? In her debut novel, Verlyn Flieger weaves elements from Celtic mythology into an unforgettable tale that explores universal truths about the human condition—society’s need for scapegoats, the yearning to belong, and love’s transcendent power to make the world anew. Thought-provoking, unflinching, and original, Pig Tale will break your heart, and utterly astonish you.

Pig Tale by Helen Oxenbury Pdf

A warm sty to lie in and cool mud for a wallow are not enough to satisfy two bored pigs named Bertha and Briggs. Their minds are bent on money and riches. So when they find a treasure chest, they head straight for town. They buy dresses and suits, an expensive new car, and a house filled with gadgets. Now they'll live the good life. But the gadgets cause a lot of trouble. The car breaks down; the washer overflows; the TV goes on the blink. Bertha and Briggs are working so hard, they have no time to play! Soon their new clothes are thrown to the wind, and two happy pigs head back to the country for a carefree roll in the mud. Helen Oxenbury gleefully illustrates Bertha and Briggs bumbling their way through a life of luxury. And kids will agree that romping and playing beat mowing the lawn any day!

A Pig's Tale by Ralph Sutherland,Harold Sherrick Pdf

In that hot summer of '69 two longhaired music freaks created an underground LP record album of unreleased tracks by one of their music gods and put it out on the streets of Los Angeles. No one had ever been crazy enough to do such an audacious thing before. The god's official record label was not amused but the music fans were thrilled. Were these guys pirates or heroes? It was so much fun the first time, they soon pressed up even more records of forbidden musical fruit. They were on a roll. The following year, in 1970, one of the culprits put The Pig image in a circular logo with the name, "Trade Mark of Quality." TMQ and Pigman were born!With a cast of outrageous characters, here is the story of Trade Mark of Quality aka TMQ aka The Pig, the first bootleg record label of it's kind, spawning many later imitators. From the end of the 60's to the mid 70's, TMQ and Pigman lead the way, trotting down a muddy trail, feeding the habits and needs of music addicts around the world. Who were these fellow travelers? Carl? The Greek? Merlin? Hans? Rob Snout? Casper? Sheldon? The Blue Hasslebeast? and Ol' Fred? (Not to mention, The Brooklyn Boys, The Record Suits and The Feds!) What was the connection between TMQ and the Viet Nam war, revolutionaries, guns, pot and the moon landing? It's all here!Included in A Pig's Tale is not only the Trade Mark of Quality and Pigman saga, but reproductions of all the rubber stamped and illustrated album jackets from every genuine TMQ record release, including the earliest releases from '69 right up to the last titles in 1976. Everything you ever wanted to know about the real TMQ label is here: A complete discography of artists and track listings, sources of recordings, catalogue numbers, master tape and record matrix info, colored vinyl pressings, record labels, graphics, photos, vintage news clippings, articles and more, all collected together, at last, in one volume.

A Twisted Pigs Tale by Vernon V. Pinkowski Pdf

Creative inventor Brute` Hogrich has been rejected by the parents of his true love, Blossom Porker, because they consider him a ne`er-do-well. Refusing to let them break his spirit, Brute` redirects his energy toward the exploration of an idealized remote place known as Mystic Mountain. Local residents of the Hogland hamlet debate the selection of a municipal building project. Hoggie Sure Thing, an insidious business tycoon, uses his power base to pursue the construction of a sports arena. The opposition, led by Lotta Ham, presses a cultural arts center. A severe storm hits the hamlet, and for seven days it is pummeled by cataclysmic winds and rain, which threaten the lives of all its citizens and all the wealth they had acquired over the past three years. As the storm unleashes its devastating wrath upon the hamlet, the hogs also suffer the consequences of the much-debated municipal building project, a project which has sparked significant changes in residents' character, resulting in extreme emotional conflicts among community members. Brute` and the other Hogland inhabitants must collectively decide whether they will allow their community values of charity, creativity and good will to be replaced by avarice greed and pride.
