Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series has stood the test of time. Ransome is not only a great storyteller, writing from first-hand experience, but each story celebrates eternally valuable qualities of practical knowledge, independence, and initiative. The twelve books are for children or grownups-anyone captivated by a world of sailing, adventure, and imagination. The crew's on holiday for their sixth adventure, and they turn their energies to mining for gold, aided by pigeon messengers Homer, Sophocles, and Sappho. The adventurers comb the nearby hills for a fabled lost claim, while being shadowed by a mysterious figure they dub "squashy hat." Undeterred by drought, sudden brushfires, and the continuing presence of Squashy Hat, the young prospectors persevere in their quest-with surprising results. Full of the dangers and dark adventures of old mines and forgotten claims, Pigeon Post has an irresistible appeal to the persistent explorer in all of us.

It's not easy for a man pushing forty to meet other gay men while living on the outskirts of the Great Xia kingdom. That is, until the perpetually-single Wu Xingzi catches wind of The Peng Society for Gentleman--a top secret club for men to meet each other and perhaps even exchange lewd ink drawings of their personal anatomy via pigeon post. What was once a faraway dream for Wu Xingzi has quickly become his new purpose in life: to collect as many shockingly detailed phallic illustrations as he can! There is just one problem. His favorite specimen belongs, in the flesh, to the notorious Guan Shanjin, a man of ill repute who is intent on thrusting himself into Wu Xingzi's world. Will their encounters become too hot for Wu Xingzi to handle? Or will they find themselves both coming back for more?

Joining the Peng Society has really turned Wu Xingzi's life on its head! His new lifestyle hasn't just earned him a thrilling collection of phallic illustrations, but also a whirlwind affair with maverick Guan Shanjin, a handsome young general who's relentless both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. When Guan Shanjin whisks him away from the lonely backwater province he's called home, Wu Xingzi braces himself for a wild ride. However, Guan Shanjin seems preoccupied with an old flame, and Wu Xingzi has no intention of overstaying his welcome. After all, an unremarkable middle-aged clerk like him has nothing more to offer Guan Shanjin than a passing fling... Right?

"A man, a writer, lives alone in a rather squalid Paris apartment. He is trying to write a novel, but he has nothing to say. He tries multiple beginnings, interspersed with one digression (but from what?) after another. In the hope of finding subject matter for his would-be realistic story, he then sends letters to three friends - Edmond, Edgar, and Edourd - with a list of questions about their lives, some rather personal inquiries, some bordering on the obscene. The responses are not very helpful, and even seem suspiciously untrue. Out of this melange of stops and starts, false information, questionable memories, pieces of this and that, an insanely comic novel starts to emerge." "Dumitru Tsepeneag takes us into a game of memory and storytelling, where the tenderness of the past clashes with the comedy of the present, and where fictional characters and actual friends mingle in the play of the imagination."--BOOK JACKET.
