Book Description
This is the fourth book in the adventures of Admiral Sir Geoffrey Cockburn RN. In this volume, however, we go back in time to when 'Cocky' Cockburn was a mere Lieutenant during the cold War of the 1950s. While serving in the aircraft carrier HMS Cerberus, he becomes friends with another Lieutenant, a Fleet Air Arm Observer called David Phillips. After being kidnapped and freed during a Far East cruise, Cocky becomes a secret agent spying on the Russians. The story moves rapidly from Gibraltar, Malta, Singapore and Australia and thence to Japan with many twists and turns all the way. Readers of the three previous books in this series will be delighted to find how the mature Admiral reacted to danger when he was a young and relatively inexperienced naval officer.

Category : Coming out (Sexual orientation)
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Faking a relationship with an injured hockey player had never been on Eliot's to-do list. When he's sent by his editor at Cocky to interview the newly-out hockey legend Danny Harper, though, he gets a little more than he bargained for.Eliot has been stuck writing a men's fashion and grooming column that no one reads since he started at Cocky--a men's lifestyle magazine--a year ago. Desperate to prove himself, he takes the assignment to interview Harper, even though he couldn't necessarily hold a hockey stick the right way up in an emergency. Danny turns out to be nothing like he expected--a lonely man who's missed out on a lot by being in the closet, rather than the overconfident jock Eliot expects him to be. As much as he doesn't want to be, Eliot finds himself drawn to the other man.When Danny proposes they fake a relationship to improve his image, Eliot jumps at the chance--not only does he need the money, but his curiosity about Danny demands to be satisfied.With Danny struggling to get through the season on a busted knee and Eliot digging up the story that could make his career, can the two of them admit their real feelings and find their happy ending?Cocky is a standalone gay romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It does, however, contain peppermint lip balm, platonic(ish) bed-sharing, explicit sex scenes, hockey-related injuries, and several five a.m. starts.

English Fairy Tales and More English Fairy Tales
Author: Donald Haase Ph.D.
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576074277
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The first compilation of the full first-edition texts of the classic fairy tale collections by Joseph Jacobs, with Jacobs' original prefaces and annotations. In these two classic collections, first published in 1890 and 1894, Joseph Jacobs combined folklore, children's literature, and the eclectic scholarship of the Victorian era to create a storehouse of tales that inhabited the imaginations of children and adults for generations. Here readers first met Tom Tit Tot, Molly Whuppie, and Jack the Giant-Killer, and first read the stories of the Three Little Pigs, the Three Bears, and Henny-Penny. Jacobs' daring collections challenged conventional thinking about the meaning of "folk," the individual artistry behind folktales, and the boundaries between folklore and literature, anticipating modern developments in folklore studies. His original editions of these 87 classic tales, along with the original illustrations, are reprinted in this new volume, offering readers an unsurpassed understanding of the development of the classic fairy tale in late Victorian England.
