Book Description
Excerpt from Sir Tom, Vol. 3 The outcry that rose when, after Montjoie's comic song - a performance of the broadest and silliest description - was over, it was discovered that Bice had disappeared, and especially the blank look of the performer himself when, turning round from the piano, he surveyed the company in vain for her, gratified the Contessa beyond measure. She smiled radiantly upon the assembly in answer to all their indignant questions. "It has been for once an indulgence," she said; "but little girls must keep early hours." Montjoie was wounded and disappointed beyond measure that it should have been at the moment of his performance that she was spirited away. His reproaches were vehement, and there was something of the pettishness of a boy in their indignant tones.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sir Tom, Vol. 1 Sir Thomas Randolph had lived a somewhat stormy life during the earliest half of his career. He had gone through what the French called a jeunesse orageuse; nothing very bad had ever been laid to his charge; but he had been adventurous, unsettled, a roamer about the world even after the period at which youthful extravagances cease. Nobody ever knew when or where he might appear. He set off to the farthest parts of the earth at a day's notice, sometimes on pretext of sport, sometimes on no pretext at all, and reappeared again as unexpectedly as he had gone away.

Book Description
The mythic creature expert and author of Phoenix takes readers through a bestiary of sea monsters featured on the famous 16th century map Carta Marina. In the sixteenth century, sea serpents, giant man-eating lobsters, and other monsters were thought to swim the waters of Norther Europe, threatening seafarers who ventured too far from shore. Thankfully, Scandinavian mariners had Olaus Magnus, who in 1539 charted these fantastic marine animals in his influential map of the Nordic countries, the Carta Marina. In Sea Monsters, mythologist Joseph Nigg brings readers face-to-face with these creatures and other magnificent components of Magnus’s map. Nearly two meters wide in total, the map’s nine wood-block panels comprise the largest and first realistic portrayal of the region. But in addition to its important geographic significance, Magnus’s map goes beyond cartography to scenes both domestic and mystic. Close to shore, Magnus shows humans interacting with common sea life—boats struggling to stay afloat, merchants trading, children swimming, and fisherman pulling lines. But from the offshore deeps rise some of the most terrifying sea creatures imaginable—like sea swine, whales as large as islands, and the Kraken. In this book, Nigg draws on Magnus’s own text to further describe and illuminate these inventive scenes and to flesh out the stories of the monsters. Sea Monsters is a stunning tour of a world that still holds many secrets for us land dwellers, who will forever be fascinated by reports of giant squid and the real-life creatures of the deep that have proven to be as bizarre and otherworldly as we have imagined for centuries. It is a gorgeous guide for enthusiasts of maps, monsters, and the mythic. “[A] beautiful new exploration of the Carta Marina.”—Wired

Book Description
Excerpt from Tom Thornton, or Last Resources, Vol. 3 of 3 That's all very fine talking, said I; but if I were a bird condemned to pass my days in a cage, the handsomer it was the more I should be reconciled to my prison the elegance of my apartment would insure me visitors - I should not be forgotten and left to starve and pine and though I might sulk now and then, or jibe. Powers of en tertainment were not of the first order, the elegance of my appointments would insure respect; nay, if I happened to be a bird of fine plumage, though my note were with out melody, appearances would outweigh merit, and my pretty cage would compen sate for all defects; but, if my cage were bare and rusty, be my merits what they might the world would not observe them like our poor friend in the Bench, I should then be thrust aside/ to rot in some dark.
