One day, to the Land of the Duchies, there came a tall troubadour. He carried a tune, and he carried a lute, and he wore a fine, medieval troubadour suit. He reached the Duchy of Bore, the duchy where nothing went on anymore. And when Castle Bore came at last into view, Hugh observed that the castle was not very new. But soon he'd find out . . .

China's Great Convulsion ~ 1894 - 1924 . . . A remarkable account of thirty tumultuous years in world history, beginning in 1894 with Japan's first aggressions in Asia and a Chinese revolutionary's call to overthrow the Manchurian Dynasty in Peking. China's years of convulsion included the Boxer Rebellion against "foreign devils," the collapse of its last dynasty, and a decade (1912-1922) of faltering attempts to establish a democratic republic while coping with provincial warlords and Japanese demands. From the pages of this well researched history, readers will learn how over 180,000 Chinese workers helped expedite the Allied victory in World War One. Stationed in France and the Middle East under the guidance of U.S., British, and French YMCA counselors and interpreters, members of the Chinese Labor Corps kept France's factories and farms running, improved port facilities, built military airfields, and restored war-torn roads and bridges. With China's Great Convulsion, John Fulton Lewis captures the excitement of China's stormy entry into a modern age.

Time Beyond Time is a tenderly crafted memoir of bygone days in rural England-of the period when machinery and mechanization were just beginning to usurp the central role animals had always played on small farms.As a volunteer serving in the Women's Land Army, the author-a young woman whose assignments as an Emergency Relief Milker take her from farm to farm-manages to fulfil her longing for a sense of continuity in her otherwise peripatetic existence when she happens to locate and acquire an authentic gypsy caravan, 'a fairytale farmhouse on wheels' which she transforms into a cosy, self-contained home of her own. Surrounding herself with the comfort of a few familiar personal possessions, she travels along the byways. Hope Tod relishes learning about the details of her new home's origins and history, shares her enjoyment of the daily rhythm of farm work, of being reunited with her true-love, their sojourn in India, their first farming job together, finding land of their own, and gradually acquiring all of the cows, hens, and pigs to establish a freehold farm at the edge of the South Downs in her beloved West Sussex.
