Aether - The Fleur de Vie>Full of expectation he leaves his home city Melsey, but quickly finds storm clouds gathering. He is to play a leading role in defeating the dark destructive forces of the Nether and its marauding minions called Nethmites, which consume all that stands in their way. With newly found friends: Frank the sky-pirate, complete with wooden pegleg; Malory the tree-dweller; and the impulsive ranger, Addie, Sam is drawn ever deeper into a dark and unforgiving battle, directed by two mythological dragon-like creatures to locate the magical Fleur de Vie. Sam and his friends are in a race against time to search the length and breadth of the Southern Island to locate the flower before the Nether destroys all that is beautiful. Will Sam discover in time that it takes more than magic to overcome the dark forces threatening them - that to succeed he must find that special part buried deep inside him, the spark that makes him the person he is? There are also talking animals, a mysterious Shaman named Sable, and the fifth element - more powerful than the earth, the air, fire and water - called the Aether. The Fleur de Vie provides the confluent to channel the Aether, the power of light; that can overcome the Nether and its Nethmites hirdes and restore the life they have destroyed. The question Sam must discover the answer to is: how much can fate orchestrate the autonomous actions of one person; by the discovery of an inner strength that will allow him stand against the Nether and defeat it, once and for all?

Do sea serpents still yearn to eat innocent maidens?This collection of stories brings myths from across the UK to a modern world with offices, cities and fast food restaurants. The consequences are often comedic, sometimes horrific and always surprising.

Her most famous case was the conviction of the serial killer, Walther Gray, a pathologist's assistant, known as the Butcher of the City. One day Miranda is seized by Chance, one of the spirits known as the Undying, and transported to a dreamlike fantastical world. There she is greeted by an Angel and presented with an unusual mission: help Chance catch the rogue Undying who was the true mastermind behind the Butcher's crimes. So Chance and Miranda must stop the killer before he kills again. Together they will race through a surreal otherworld of magical labyrinths and wondrous spirits--but also into the maze of Miranda's own memories as they retrace her original investigation."--

Stories are all around us.They're in the TV and movies we so adore, in the video games we play, and of course in the books we read. They're in newspapers and magazines, too; in the conversations we share with old friends, and with new ones. They're on our mobile phones, in aeroplanes, in submarines, and even in our dreams. Our obsession with, and craving for, stories rests squarely with the way we are so absorbed by them, just as it does with the way we don't need to continually consider how and why they work.Most of the time, when reading or listening to stories, we forget that these tales have been shaped through the passage of time. Like pebbles in a river smoothed by rushing waters, they were honed through centuries of telling and retelling.The stories contained in this anthology are a fragment of a tradition that has shaped humanity, just as it has been shaped by humanity.At The Scheherazade Foundation we regard stories and storytelling as an achievement of our species equal in significance to the development of language, art, and architecture.We invite you to dip into the tales in this small treasury - gleaned as they are from various corners of the world- to reflect about them, and to consider the wisdom they hold.

Naomi Mitchison spent many years visiting, then living with, the Bakgatla of Botswana. During that time, she wrote a great deal about the tribal structure, social culture and behaviour of the population. Some of that writing was in the form of these stories collected here, ostensibly for children. This was her opportunity to describe in simple detail the problems and difficulties in the day-to-day life of ordinary people. Gathered here are the collections Ketse and the African Chief (1965), Friends and Enemies (1966), The Family at Ditlabeng (1968), Sunrise Tomorrow (1973), Snake! (1976) and The Vegetable War (1980), together with Modise and the Donkeys (1975), The Kid (1975), The Little Sister (1976), The Wild Dogs (1976) The Brave Nurse, For Her Country, and Letsei and Sekgwari (1977), and the longer A Mochudi Family from 1965.

The Wondrous Seed is a Teaching Story by Tahir Shah, one of the foremost writers of his generation, who was himself raised in the ancient tradition of stories and storytelling.The son of the prominent Sufi writer and thinker Idries Shah, Tahir was weaned on folktales and folklore, drawn from all points of the cultural compass.Encouraged to write stories of his own from early childhood, he was trained to draw both perception and entertainment from the great story treasuries, such as The Thousand and One Nights.Descended from a long line of storytellers, Tahir learnt that the simplest tale often contains interwoven layers of meaning, knowledge, and acuity frequently invisible to the reader - and that by learning to recognize the subtleties, it's possible to mine a treasure trove of wisdom.
