Book Description
Excerpt from Helbeck of Bannisdale, Vol. 1 of 2 "I must be turning back. A dreary day for anyone coming fresh to these parts!" So saying, Mr. Helbeck stood still - both hands resting on his thick stick - while his gaze slowly swept the straight white road in front of him and the landscape to either side. Before him stretched the marsh lands of the Flent valley, a broad alluvial plain brought down by the rivers Flent and Greet on their way to the estuary and the sea. From the slight rising ground on which he stood, he could see the great peat mosses about the river-mouths, marked here and there by lines of weather-beaten trees, or by more solid dots of black which the eye of the inhabitant knew to be peat stacks.

Book Description
Excerpt from Helbeck of Bannisdale, Vol. 2 of 2 "Look out there! For God's sake, go to your places!" The cry of the foreman reached the ears of the clinging women. They fell apart - each peering into the crowd and the tumult. Mounted on a block of wood about a dozen yards from them - waving his arm and shouting to the stream of panic-stricken workmen - they saw the man who had been their guide through the works. Four white-hot ingots, just uncovered, blazed deserted on their truck close to him, and a multitude of men and boys were pushing past them, tumbling over each other in their eagerness to reach the neighbourhood of the furnace. The space between the ingots and some machinery near them was perilously narrow. At any moment, those rushing past might have been pushed against the death-bearing truck. Ah! another cry. A man's coat-sleeve has caught fire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
