Book Description
Excerpt from The Maid of Sker With this, and with that, and most of all with hinting about a Frenchman, they put me on my mettle, so that I sit upon the side-stones of the old-well gallery (which are something like the companion-rail of a fore-and-after), and gather them around me, with the householders put foremost, according to their income, and the children listening between their legs; and thus I begin, but never end, the tale I now begin to you, and perhaps shall never end it.

Book Description
"The Maid of Sker," written by R.D. Blackmore, is a chilling gothic novel that takes readers on a haunting journey into the depths of fear, mystery, and the supernatural. Set in the 19th century, the story follows the young and courageous protagonist, Thomas Evans, as he becomes entangled in the eerie and macabre events surrounding the Sker House—a remote and foreboding mansion on the Welsh coast. Thomas finds himself drawn to the enigmatic figure of the Maid, a woman who is trapped in a web of dark secrets and a terrifying family curse. As Thomas delves deeper into the history of Sker House, he uncovers a haunting past filled with tragedy, vengeful spirits, and a malevolent presence that threatens the lives of those who dare to enter. The novel seamlessly blends elements of psychological suspense, supernatural horror, and a dash of romance, creating an atmosphere of suspense and foreboding that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Blackmore's evocative prose brings the haunting beauty of the Welsh landscape to life, while his vivid descriptions of the eerie occurrences in Sker House send shivers down the readers' spines. Through Thomas's harrowing journey, the novel explores themes of obsession, sacrifice, and the power of love in the face of darkness. "The Maid of Sker" is a captivating and atmospheric tale that lingers long after the final page is turned. With its atmospheric setting, compelling characters, and spine-tingling plot, this gothic masterpiece continues to enthrall readers, cementing R.D. Blackmore's reputation as a master of suspense and the supernatural.

Book Description
In the ‘Land of Song and Literature’ that is Wales, what could be more natural than writing music and poetry? So this book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology. Each lyric and set of limericks is preceded by prose, related (sometimes tenuously) to the reason for writing the verse. The lyrics were not written as poems, they are verses divorced from their musical settings. Are song lyrics poetry? This is a theme which runs through the book. Nine authors and songwriters were asked this question. The list of those who contributed is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Welsh music and poetry. Dannie Abse, Steve Balsamo, Peter Finch, Ron Griffiths, Paul Henry, Gwyneth Lewis, Robert Minhinnick, Mal Pope and solitary Scot Al Stewart. Their answers to this and other questions make fascinating reading. There is also a previously unpublished short poem from Robert Minhinnick and a two line verse from Paul Henry. What was their conclusion? Are song lyrics the same as poetry? For the answers be sure to read the entertaining ‘Lyrics and Limericks’. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

Book Description
Treasures of many kinds still lie hidden below crumbling castles and ruined monasteries; in macabre tombs; in subterranean labyrinths and sinister caverns. Many sunken treasures lie beneath the seas, oceans and lakes of the world. Vast stores of pirate gold are still hidden on many a real life treasure island such as Oak Island at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. Many treasures were looted, hidden and lost after the two World Wars - Hermann Goering, for example, one of most powerful leaders of Nazi Germany, is strongly suspected of hiding huge treasures at Veldenstein and Lake Zeller. This fascinating, expertly researched book brilliantly reveals all these unsolved mysteries. The final section covers useful ideas for treasure-seekers: the study of old maps and charts; coded messages; secret symbols; and intensive research into the lives and locations of those people through out history who probably in all certainty, had treasure to hide.
