Book Description
This story describes the unusual meeting and budding friendship between Wilf, a water nymph, and a boy who likes to be called Deano. They learn from each other as the boy helps the water nymph to return home. Deano hides Wilf from his mother but the nymph causes problems in the kitchen, so the two spend a day beside the local river instead. They have a happy day together, watching the wildlife and playing. The boy comes up with a plan to help the water nymph get home. Deano takes Wilf with him to school the following day, but that does not stop his mischief. Later that day, the boy goes to the river for a kayak lesson, accompanied by the nymph. The plan is to take Wilf upstream by kayak towards his possible home area. The new pals enjoy the peace and beauty of the evening. Deano paddles upstream as far as he dare without being missed. He explains the route that the water nymph needs to take, before they say their goodbyes. Wilf hitches rides on a dragonfly, an otter, a butterfly, a swan, a grasshopper, a pigeon and a toad on his journey towards home. His first attempt to find his home is unsuccessful but he generally enjoys the day. Wilf eventually gets back to familiar ground and he is warned, by various creatures, of the searches that have been going on to find him. He expects to be in serious trouble when he does get home. However, Wilf's family are overjoyed at his return and the water nymph community hold an impromptu party to celebrate.

Book Description
In the early days of the 19th Century Whitby is a thriving port. Both the Coulson and the Campion families make a living by the sea. Sam Coulson has three sons: Martin, Ben and Eric. He has grand plans for expanding his whaling business; and as Seaton Campion has no sons, a marriage between Martin and Campion's eldest daughter, Alicia, will aid the fortunes of both families. Ben Coulson, Sam's middle son, has turned his back on whaling to follow other pursuits. However Ben is secretly working hard, waiting for the time to show his father he is not the wastrel he thinks he is. Ruth Holmes also comes from a sea-faring family. Her father is the captain of one of Sam Coulson's whaling ships. Newly returned from France, she catches the eye of Ben Coulson and he is instantly smitten. But when Martin fails to return from his last voyage their fledging relationship is put under threat. For not only does Sam blame Ruth's father for Martin's death, he sees little reason why his business plans should be thwarted by family tragedy. If Martin cannot marry Alicia then it is Ben's duty to take his brother's place, regardless of where his own affections lie

Book Description
The landscape of southwestern Wyoming around the ghost town of Fossil is beautiful but harsh; a dry, high mountain desert with cool nights and long, cold winters inhabited by a sparse mountain desert community. But during the early Eocene, more than fifty million years ago, it was a subtropical lake, surrounded by volcanoes and forests and teeming with life. Buried within the sun-baked limestone is spectacular evidence of the lush vegetation and plentiful fauna of the ancient past, a transitional ecosystem giving us clues to how North America recovered from a great extinction event that wiped out dinosaurs and the majority of all species on the planet. Paleontologists have been conducting excavations at Fossil Butte for more than 150 years, and with The Lost World of Fossil Lake, one of the world’s leading experts on the fossils from this spectacular locality takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of the discovery and exploration of the site. Deftly mixing incredible color photographs of the remarkable fossils uncovered at the site with an explanation of their evolutionary significance, Grande presents an unprecedented, comprehensive portrait of the site, its treasures, and what we’ve learned from them. Grande presents a broad range of fossilized organisms from Fossil Lake—from single-celled algae to palm trees to crocodiles—and together they make this long-extinct community come to life in all its diversity and splendor. A field guide and atlas round out the book, enabling readers to identify and classify the majority of the known fossils from the site. Lavishly produced in full color, The Lost World of Fossil Lake is a stunning reminder of the intellectual and physical beauty of scientific investigation—and a breathtaking window onto our planet’s long-lost past.
