A magical green gateA mysterious strangerA magnificent secretTwelve-year-old Hannah Walker was just trying to have a fun time hiking in Maine with her father and brother (and maybe play some guitar). But when a desperate cry for help is heard over the ocean, Hannah finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime.She rescues a mysterious bird-girl who came to Earth with a secret. When the bird-girl asks Hannah to go on a boat ride with her friends, a violent storm sinks their ship, and a magical green gate appears shimmering on the water. Hannah and her friends are swept through the gate to a land teeming with magic. Once on shore, Earth appears in the sky, and the spider-lobsters start biting. And when the Earth fades away, you can't go home.It doesn't take long for Hannah to realize something is eerily familiar with this strange world. Had she read about this place in her dad's books? The people and the creatures here have been hiding a long-kept secret about Hannah, something amazing, something others would kill for.It's up to Hannah, her fearless brother Duncan, and the bird-girl to save the planet from a terrible fate and find a way home for her friends. Her daring adventure through volcanic explosions and battles with monstrous creatures will leave the planet breathless, but she must hurry before the green gate closes forever.

Sir Edward Kelley or Kelly, also commonly known as Edward Talbot (1555 - 1597/8) was an English Renaissance medium and occultist most famous for his work with John Dee in his magical investigations. Kelley famously claimed to know the secret of turning metal into gold, as well as possessing the Philosopher's Stone itself. This volume contains two essays by Kelly and Arthur Edward Waite on the subject of alchemy, and in particular its ultimate goal: obtaining the philosopher's stone. Contents include: "Biographical Preface", "The Stone of the Philosophers", "Certain Fragments selected from the Letters of Edward Kelly", "The Humid Way, or a Discourse upon the Vegetable Menstrum of Saturn", "The Theatre of Terrestrial Astronomy", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
