Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. Book Club Edition. For Sarah Goodwill, still reeling in the aftershock of a disastrous marriage, the position of secretary-ghostwriter to Major Charles Storrington seems the ideal opportunity to exorcise a few demons of her own. Sarah will help Major Storrington, confined to a wheelchair by the tank accident that finished a promising military career, to research and write the family history of the Storringtons, an armaments dynasty. She will also serve as governess to his small son. To her dismay, Sarah finds the menage at Maidenshall, the great Victorian mansion built on the site of a nunnery, a decidedly uneasy one: Elegant, lovely Cressida is patently unable to overcome the blow dealt her marriage by Charles's crippling. Bored, diversion-starved, she increasingly seeks escape in her London fashion career and, perhaps, in the arms of other men; Adolphus "Dolly" Storrington is lonely, distracted child who spends most of his waking hours in the company of a fantasy playmate who has entirely, almost unnaturally, possessed the boy's hyperactive imagination; The Major, handsome, still powerful, and restive in his wheelchair prison, alternates between bursts of creative energy and raging, frustration-provoked outbursts at his family, his servants, and even at Sarah, who is falling inexorably in love with him; And Henrietta Galloway, the nonagenarian retainer who wanders about Maidenshall unsettling whomever she encounters with her ramblings of days long past. As Sarah moves deeper into the family papers, she experiences a distinct sense of something unfinished, unresolved, about the Storringtons. But it is not until her research yields up two diaries out of Edwardian times that she discovers a fascinating family legend-the legend of Hannah Knox. In these two accounts-one innocently observing, the other eloquent with the pain of betrayal-Sarah learns of the illicit passion of that earlier governess for another Charles Storrington, and of its bitter aftermath. Sarah Goodwill falls in thrall, as will every reader of this novel, to the spell of Hannah Knox and to her anguished story of love and betrayal and revenge. Hannah Knox's fate stands at the heart of The Storrington Papers and has the power ultimately to determine Sarah Goodwill's own. olly" Storrington is a lonely, distracted child who spends most of his waking hours in the company of a fantasy playmate who has entirely, almost unnaturally, possessed the boy's hyperactive imagination; The Major, handsome, still powerful, and restive i (ilustrador). …

Since ancient times, fascinating individuals have claimed the power to peer into the beyond using everything from crystal balls, trances, and messages from God to ancient spirits and the stars. Visions of Nostradamus and Other Prophets describes their lives and amazing predictions. You'll marvel at when they were on target down to amazingly minute details- and see when they fell short of the mark. Then, read their predictions for events still to come. Prophets profiled include: Nostradamus, who some claim foresaw the French Revolution and the evil reign of Hitler Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist who sketched submarines and flying machines. Kenneth Mackenzie, a seventeenth-century Scottish seer who received his second sight from a ghost. Jules Verne, the nineteenth-century science fiction writer whose stories featured space travel and television.

"Shooting from Scratch is a highly readable book for everyone who wants to take up shooting with a shotgun, but who doesn't know how to go about it. .The book covers all forms of the sport, from clay-pigeon shooting, through rough shooting and wildfowling, to what is still regarded as the pinnacle, driven-game shooting. The author describes the shooting scene, the language and, perhaps most daunting of all to the new shooter, the questions of safety, sportsmanship and etiquette. From there the reader is taken naturally through guns, cartridges, kit and what to wear, to the principles of shooting and of how to shoot, the seemingly impossible problem of hitting cleanly a distant, fast-moving target. As well as dealing with the various forms of shooting different species of game and other quarry, the author discusses the cost of shooting and of runnings shoots, the law affecting guns and game, and conservation. There are appendixes on close seasons, legitimate quarry, vermin and pests, and useful addresses. Finally, the book is rounded off with a delightful tailpiece, in which the author shares some of his experiences of a fascinating and highly satisfying sport." Chapters include:- The scene; The language of shooting; Safety, sportsmanship, etiquette; Gun, cartridges and kit; How to shoot; Clay pigeon shooting; Shooting driven game; Rough shooting; A shoot for all reasons, and what it costs; Conflict and conservation; The law. .…
