A Romance of Unchartered Seas and Untrodden Shores

The Isle of Seven Moons

Excerpt from Not Taps, but Reveille It was a little house on a plain street. Yet as I entered the gate to-night, I closed it gently, reverently, for I suddenly realized that the little house had the dignity of a great mansion, the majesty of a royal palace. A messenger had entered that gate four days before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not Taps, But Reveille (Classic Reprint)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Half-Past Seven Stories

This biography offers the vivid story of the artist and man Lon Chaney, Sr. From his beginnings on the stage to the roles that gave him a permanent place in the history of silent films (The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera) to his entry into talkies. Chaney used all of his experience on screen and off, to bring as much humanity and realism as possible to his portrayals. As his own make-up artist, he strove for a perfection that could pass the critical scrutiny of the camera eye. This is the portrait of a creative actor, who used all his skill and craftsmanship to bring memorable people to life on the silver screen.

The Artistry of Lon Chaney

The top o' the morning! That's what the Toyman used to say. And I am sure if you ever go to the White House with the Green Blinds by the Side of the Road the Toyman will say it still, whatever the weather. And when you hear him call that over the fence so cheerily, from his smile you will know at once what he means, - that he wishes for you the very top of the morning, not only the finest of weather, but the best of happiness and fun, in whatever you do and wherever you go.

Half Past Seven Stories

Herein are 17 illustrated stories by Robert Gordon Anderson with 16 full-page colour illustrations by Dorothy Hope Smith. This volume is the sequel to The Seven O'Clock Stories also written by Robert Gordon Anderson and with the same three happy children and are short stories of everyday happenings on a farm. The story of the Big Bobsled, even contains instructions on how to make your own. The volume is introduced with "The Top Of The Morning" which is the saying the Toymaker uses as a greeting, no matter the weather which sets the tone of the book. The stories are: "The Top Of The Morning" I The Little Lost Fox II The Big Bobsled III The Jolly Roger IV The Blue Croaker, The Bright Agate, And The Little Gray Mig V The Old Woman Who Lived On The Canal VI Two O' Cat VII The Fairy Lamp VIII The Animals' Birthday Party IX Dr. Philemon Pipp, The Patient Medicine Man X When Jehosophat Forgot His Piece XI Ole Man Pumpkin XII The Norway Spruce XIII When The Door Opened XIV The Hole That Ran To China XV The Peppermint Pagoda XVI He That Took The City These stories are simply and naturally told and are for children aged five to nine years old. As with all children’s stories, they have originated in a place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich and live in castles and have friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by.
