Once upon a time in a Middle Eastern l&, a fat, sweet-natured little boy grows up as the son of an important ruler. His older brother was apparently still-born & so he is the heir to his father`s kingdom. But far away from the royal palace a lonely prospector happens across a wild creature, half boy, half animal, roaming the forests. Eventually this strange child`s adventures lead him to the capital & into the path of a platoon of deserters from Napoleon`s army
- the flashy, ultimately dangerous, face of Enlightenment thought in this isolated kingdom
- with drastic consequences. With original poems embedded like gems in the text, this is a fable for all ages, full of shivers & delights, sadness & wonder.

Mention Fleet Street & people will think of newspapers. However this masks an equally rich history. It was one of the most important thoroughfares in London, linking the city with Westminster. For centuries Fleet Street has been famous for its association with newspapers, printers, stationers, booksellers, taverns, coffee houses, banking houses, the legal profession, places of worship, exhibitions & processions. The history of Fleet Street is diverse, fascinating, turbulent & full of colourful characters & events. London`s second most important river ran through it & gave the street its name. Carmelite Friars & the Knights Templar once occupied the area until they were replaced by the legal profession. Fleet Street was ravaged by the Great Fire & then again by Second World War bombs. It was a showplace for freaks, fire-eaters, giants, dwarves, elephants & other exotic exhibits. The press had an early presence in the street when Wynkyn de Worde became the first printer to set up shop in Fleet Street in the late fifteenth century & Britain`s first newspaper, the Daily Courant, began to publish there in 1702. Fleet Street once boasted the headquarters of virtually every major English daily newspaper. Despite this there have been few books about the history of Fleet Street itself. This book explores not only the press but also the many fascinating events, characters, pubs & buildings in Fleet Street & its many tributaries. ...

The southern part of the East Flanders province of Belgium at 1:50, 000 in a series from Falk B.V. showing the network of signposted cycling routes on large, double-sided indexed maps with prominent highlighting of long-distance LF routes, symbols indicating accommodation & other tourist services, plus in each title two or more panels with recommended local circuits & additional tourist information. The Falk 50K cycling series, which

Includes:: some adjoining areas in Lower Saxony & has now been extended to cover Flanders, shows the extensive network of sign-posted cycling routes. The network consists of numbered junctions joined by sign-posted connecting routes in either direction. At each junction there is an information panel showing an overview map of the whole network with the junction numbers. A second panel shows all the intersections directly connected to that junction. The system enables cyclists to plan their own routes by preparing a list of junction numbers through which they want to travel. Falk maps give cycling distances between the junctions & indicate which roads, both within the numbered network & outside it, have separate cycling paths. Routes which are part of the LF network of long-distance cycle routes are clearly marked. A wide range of symbols shows various accommodation options, bars & restaurants, & various places of interest. Landscape information is provided by colouring for woodlands, dunes, etc. The maps are indexed & show in the margins latitude & longitude at 1`52” intervals. Map legend
