DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor years, Heather Tradescant had dreamed of the journey she and her father would take to England--a pilgrimage to the great gardens of history.Now that her father is dead, Heather is determined to fulfill his dreams. Unfortunately, her request to see the fabled 17th-century garden of Troytan House is denied by the owner. Though unwelcome, she braves the walls of briars and reaches the Victorian manor house beyond. She senses a strange mission of evil lurking, tainting the manor's peaceful beauty. Only then does Heather begin to wonder whether it is only stories of long-vanished witchcraft that haunt Troytan House or whether there is some more modern horror, hearer at hand, and far, far more dangerous. Continuing in the classic tradition she established with such acclaimed novels of suspense as Stitches in Time, Vanish with the Rose, and House of Stone, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Michaels has penned a chilling tale that will keep you reading until the last page.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTelling a riveting true story of the emergence and development of an American icon, this book traces swing dancing from its origins to its status as a modern-day art form. From its unlikely origins in the African slave trade, one of the saddest chapters of American history, swing dance emerged as a celebration of the soul. Swing is now recognized around the globe as a joyous partnered dance, uniquely Afro-American in origin and an American treasure. This book examines how the original swing style of the 1920s, the Lindy Hop, branched out and evolved with the changing dynamics of popular culture, paralleling the development of the nation. Swing Dancing covers the dance through the years of minstrelsy, the jazz age, the big band era, bebop, and the decline of partnered dancing in the 1960s. Swing experts and instructors Tamara and Erin Stevens have combined a compelling historic examination of swing dance with an assortment of riveting personal interviews and photographic documentation to create a comprehensive reference book on this important art form.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Scottish barrister gets entangled in a web of deadly superstition and danger on a small Greek island in this novel by the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps. Though Sir Edward Leithen is not one to take superstition seriously, he is sympathetic to his friend Vernon Milburne, who has been plagued by a recurring nightmare since childhood. Now, as the two men embark on an Aegean cruise, the dream’s disturbing portents seem to be coming true in ways neither man could have imagined. In Plakos, Greece, Englishwoman Koré Arabin is in grave danger. The islanders believe her to be a witch, and it is up to Edward and Vernon to save her. But the more they learn of Koré’s family history, the closer they come to uncovering the evil that lurks in her island home. First published in 1926, The Dancing Floor continues the saga of Sir Edward Leithen, John Buchan’s popular character featured in The Power-House and John Macnab. Here, Buchan explores themes of fallacy and reason, paganism and Christianity.
