"Rabbits were caught, tamed, sketched, painted" by young Beatrix and her brother, Bertram. In 1893, while traveling with her pet rabbit, Peter Piper, and seeking unusual fungi with self-taught mycologist Charles McIntosh, Potter jotted an illustrated note "about a disobedient young rabbit called 'Peter' " to an ailing child friend and sketched Peter's nemesis, a McIntosh–look-alike farmer called Mr. McGregor, creating "two fictional characters that one day would be world-famous."

Butlin's Ltd offered £1,000 in cash for the immediate safe transport of the largest elephant in captivity from Butlin's Ayr, Scotland, to Butlin's, Filey, Yorkshire. Intrigued, he volunteered his services, as did 3,500 other people; and not long after, he found himself engaged as elephant consultant, with very ill-defined duties, to help Mr Willie Wilson of Glasgow transport the elephant. He begins his new book - and alas his last one, for Elephant Bill died in August 1958 - with a fascinating account of this journey, which was made the more hazardous by the fact that Big Charlie, the tusker, was on 'musth' - a condition which others underrated - and that the demands of publicity ran counter to those of aerial management. Big Charlie 1.5 by J H Williams Big Charlie 2.5 Big Charlie 3.5 Big Charlie 4.5 Big Charlie 5.5 ****Blaze is the story of Clayton Blaisdell, Jr. -- of the crimes committed against him and the crimes he commits, including his last, the kidnapping of a baby heir worth millions. Blaze has been a slow thinker since childhood, when his father threw him down the stairs -- and then threw him down again. After escaping an abusive institution for boys when he was a teenager, Blaze hooks up with George, a seasoned criminal who thinks he has all the answers. But then George is killed, and Blaze, though haunted by his partner, is on his own. Blaze 1.6 by Stephen King Blaze 2.6 Blaze 3.6 Blaze 4.6 Blaze 5.6 Blaze 6.6 ****The story is divided into three epochs, "Spring," "Summer"and "Autumn" three great passions in a man's life belonging respectively to his youth, his maturity and his middle age. Of the three women who successively inspire these three passions, the first might almost have been his mother, the second was of suitable age to be his wife, and the third could easily been his daughter. Such is the substance of "The Dark Flower," a curiously interesting and probing study of man's passions and woman's weakness.

When he gets the chance to join an expedition in an unexplored part of the Mexican Jungle they are very excited even before theyarrive, but nothing could prepare them for this new world, and the strange creatures in it. “The shape had stopped behind the curtain of water. A vague, shadowy shape—part human, part lizard. A huge arm reached forward, and a single claw penetrated the waterfall and pointed, glistening, at the children.” Deep in a remote jungle in Mexico, something unearthly is stirring, disturbed by a party of zoologists. Ben and Claire Swift, who are there with their father, are the only ones who realize the incredible danger that threatens them all. An edge–of–the–seat thriller, lightened by the realistic, often very funny exchanges of its young hero and heroine.
