Daughters of Dawn. a Lyrical Pageant Or Series of Historic Scenes for Presentation with Music and Dancing

Afternoon just started and Emelisa realizes her penchant for murder to be true of her whole life. Therefore, it's quite no surprise to her that she could kill someone in her family. So easy, in fact, she pushes her husband into a speeding car.As she buzzes in the thrill of this act, she analyses her life, trying to find where it all went wrong for her. However, what's most interesting to her isn't the fact that she didn't go to school because his father doesn't train girls or her unfaithful husband in her bad marriage. It's her firm ability to say publicly that she has a passion for killing.

Romany Legends Daniel and Dolly Buckley The Gypsy Way traces Mary King’s unique family history back to the 1920s. The book follows the Buckleys, a well-known Romany gypsy family that lived according to gypsy traditions. The book contains tales, reflections, memories and anecdotes of days gone by; from when Daniel and Dolly were just young children, to them raising their own young family whilst living in a wagon. The couple faced struggles on a daily basis, but lived a happy, content life. The end of their lives saw their funerals becoming events of an unprecedented scale, and rightly so, for in their time this couple were living legends. “Many of the gypsies of today will be amazed by my upbringing, as it won’t be the familiar gypsy way that they live and breathe now; but it was the only way of life I knew as a child.” Inspired by Maggie Smith-Bendell’s Rabbit Stew and a Penny or Two, the book provides a unique insight into Romany gypsy life, which Mary hopes will inspire readers to preserve traditions that are lost in modern life. Romany Legends Daniel and Dolly Buckley The Gypsy Way is illustrated with photographs and will appeal to readers who want to learn more about gypsy traditions.

Romany Legends Daniel and Dolly Buckley The Gypsy Way

A no-holds-barred story of what it takes to reach the top, and stay there, in the world's most dangerous sport - three day eventing. At the age of forty-seven Mary King won a Team Bronze at the Beijing Olympics. In the two 'Cavaliers' - 'Call Again Cavalier' and 'Imperial Cavalier' - she has two of the very best event horses in the world. Mary King's success in the world of eventing (now officially classed as the most dangerous sport in the world) has been hard won. She does not come from a privileged background - her father a verger and a long-term invalid so money was very tight. Her first pony was the ancient 'cast off' from the local vicar's children - and success with this pony gave her an iron will to succeed. And succeeded she has. To support herself in the early days she had a variety of unglamorous jobs (this included butcher delivery rounds and cleaning out toilets in the local campsite). Her talent was apparent from very early on and she first competed at Badminton in 1985, had her first win there on King William in 1992 and her second on Star Appeal in 2000. Just when everything seemed to be going well she suffered a terrible fall in 2001 and broke her neck but she was back competing at the very top level the following year. Fully updated for the paperback with the 2010 season, including Team GB's gold medal-winning performance at the World Equestrian Games, this is a fascinating account from inside the world's most dangerous sport.
