Celtic Tales 4 The Scots by Jill Whalen Pdf

Scotia in the old language means scavenger, one who makes the most of the materials at hand. Many people think Scots are tight. Scots think they are thrifty. Read about some of the Scots who made it into Celtic folklore. Travel with them to the foreign wars; join the caravans; sip coffee at Lloyds where the big deals were made. Find out why a warrior loaded with loot would choose to live in a cot and eat oatmeal. Not all warriors had swords; some of them went to battle with a stick, or a knife, or a quarterstaff. They usually left the battle with an assortment of loot including swords, armor, chain mail, horses, and gold.

Thorval’s Tale by B. K. Parent Pdf

It is with great relief to all in the land of Sommerhjem that the challenge to choose a new king or queen has been completed, even if the result of the challenge was very unexpected. What will happen next is unknown. For me, now is the time for reflection. My past catching up to me placed my family in danger. Very few folks know of my wife Ani’s and my involvement with those who secretly provided information to Queen Octavia. Nor do many folks know just how deeply involved I was after the death of Queen Octavia in thwarting the Regent’s intention to prevent Princess Esmeralda from becoming the next ruler of Sommerhjem when she came of age. What is important now is what can I reveal about my past and what do I still need to hold secret? My name is Thorval Pedersen and this is my tale.

Coral Sea Story by John Singe Pdf

Young Duncan Ross thinks he's on his way to Sydney to be a clerk. How wrong could he be? A chance meeting with an attractive woman on a coach and Duncan finds himself on the high seas heading for the Coral Sea and adventure. In the company of swashbucklers and desperadoes of every description Duncan braves storm, shipwreck, sharks, crocodiles, massacre and decapitation in this epic romance of survival amongst the head-hunters of the Torres Strait. The tale plays out along golden beaches and on tropical islands washed by the crystalline waters of the Coral Sea. It is a region of extraordinary beauty and danger as Duncan discovers whilst wending his cautious way betwixt piratical thugs on the one hand and ferocious natives on the other. More than a simple adventure Coral Sea Story brings alive those frantic days when the Queensland frontier was wild; when fortune-seekers and squatters, and drunken captains and pearl-divers, and South Sea Island sailors and Torres Strait warriors battled for control of the Coral Sea and its riches. This is Australian history as you've never seen it; big, bold and a ripping yarn.
