DOWNLOAD EBOOKNot last night, but the night before, twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door. I went out to let them in, and this is what they said... This chilling childhood rhyme haunts Camilla's days and nights, but she doesn't know why. Neither does she understand her aversion to jump ropes and her intense dislike for the smell of mahogany. In fact, her name is about all she does know. After witnessing her mother's violent murder, six-year-old Camilla mentally shuts down. The Spanish-style Floridian home Camilla has always known holds too many memories for her father, so he loads Camilla and her three older brothers into 'Old Red' and drives until he sees the 'For Sale' sign in Mount Vernon, Washington. Still unable to reconcile her mother's death, Camilla finds societal norms difficult to adhere to and is easily impacted by her only friend, Savannah. But as the years pass, Savannah's malicious nature makes itself known, and Camilla is powerless to resist her influence. She soon finds herself involved in the murder of her unborn baby's father. Because Camilla is then diagnosed as mentally ill, she is relegated to a nearby mental institution, where her story unfolds with compassion, humor, and shocking truths through a series of hypnotherapy sessions with the intriguing Dr. Rowan. Delve deep into the mind of a mentally unstable woman who has witnessed two brutal murders, and find out what happened Not Last Night, but the Night Before.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents a unique annotated collection of some 2000 playground games, rhymes, and wordplay of London children. It charts continuity and development in childlore at a time of major social and cultural change and offers a detailed snapshot of changes in the traditions and language of young people. Topics include: starting a game; counting-out rhymes; games (without songs); singing and chanting games; clapping, skipping, and ball bouncing games; school rhymes and parodies; teasing and taunting; traditional belief and practice; traditional wordplay; and a concluding miscellany. Recorded mainly in the 1980s by primary schoolteacher Nigel Kelsey, transcribed verbatim from the children’s own words, and accompanied by extensive commentaries and annotation, the book sets a wealth of new information in the wider historical and contemporary context of existing studies in Britain, Ireland, and other parts of the English-speaking world. This valuable new resource will open new avenues for research and be of particular interest to folklorists and linguists, as well as to those working across the full spectrum of social, cultural, and educational studies.
