![]() She bought them both in the market, quite cheaply. This is the story of a cat, a broomstick and an ordinary schoolgirl called Rosemary. %%%Carbonel is a magical fantasy story by Barbara Sleigh. Carbonel is reissued in the 'A Puffin Book' series of Puffin children's modern classics. Between the cat and the broomstick, Rosemary picked up some useful spells and magic, and the adventures they brought about turned a dull-looking holiday into one long to be remembered for its unexpected excitements and rewards. A good cat is apt to be independent, so she did not have things all her own way, and as Carbonel proved to be a Royal cat in a very special sense, that was understandable. Of course, neither the cat nor the broomstick were just what they seemed, and they turned up just when Rosemary badly needed something nice to happen to her. ![]() ![]() Carbonel is a magical fantasy story by Barbara Sleigh. ![]()

No matter where life takes you, you are just one quick reference away from the "samurai solution" to your problems. This pocket-sized book can be carried anywhere, anytime, for quick reference. Based on the ancient and authoritative texts of three samurai masters, this manual gives the direct and authentic "samurai solution" to any of life's many situations. Previously, the aspiring samurai had no resource at all. ![]() ![]() Any book about the samurai, or their codes, was either so strictly historical, or so thickly academic, that it didn't give any practical solutions to the average person, about how to go about applying the samurai ethic to their daily life. Who hasn't considered, at some point in their life, what it would take to live as a samurai? Whether it was a serious, life-long obsession or a passing, whimsical thought in either case, there was really no way to know how to go about living life as a samurai. ![]() ![]() Frieda shifted and yawned into the earth. ![]() The child’s sutured eyes and never-kissed lips greeted that 1950s winter sky, the color of heron wings, when her father-my grandfather-opened another hole in the mute earth and laid his second unforgiving child’s body to rest in her sister’s slender, waiting arms.
