Lilly Bienvenue inherits her grandparents’ house in an old historical town of 300 years. Suddenly through a letter left to her from her grandfather and some intense dreams she finds her ancestors of several generations’ past are connected to the curse of the town’s ghost…The Phantom Funeral. The Phantom has haunted the town for centuries whenever the moon was bright on the anniversary of the night a commander of the neighboring historical fort was murdered in the 1700s. It is believed he is looking for his bride who never made it to the burial at the town’s cemetery. Lilly is shocked when she digs into her family’s history and reads about several of her aunts, decades apart, losing their love on that same anniversary. She even begins to dream of these past events and it appears she is the curse’s next victim. Of course, her rotten luck, Tripp, a young boy from her past has reappeared looking all grown up and handsome. Lilly is beginning to believe he is her modern-day commander. To make it even more surreal the next anniversary is coming up and the moon phase appears to be very bright and everything is lining up to make her believe Tripp will be the next victim of the curse. Deciding Tripp’s life is more important than the two of them being together, Lilly pushes him away. Yet Tripp has a different plan and decides to show Lilly they can beat the curse together. Yet can it be done? And by who’s expense?

Even so, this does not cover all folklore from all four corners of the world. Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, are altogether quite different and seem to have originated on the whole from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.

This is an interdisciplinary study of the state funerals that were celebrated in France between the French Revolution and the death of François Mitterand. Its aim is to explain how the funerals of such prominent figures as Voltaire, Napoleon, Gambetta, Hugo, and de Gaulle became major public events that helped to mould the national memory. Combining the insights of anthropologists and sociologists with a historical analysis, it argues that the dual character of the ceremony, a political festival and final rite of passage, turned the state funeral into a gripping event to which few French people could remain indifferent. The book focuses on the republican tradition of state funerals, which emerged in the French Revolution and has continued through the Fifth Republic. Whether in power or in opposition, the republicans used the funerals of their leaders and militants to educate the masses and mobilize public support. This book, the first comprehensive analysis of French state funerals, is also a major contribution to the study of republican culture.

Honest Abe. The rail-splitter. The Great Emancipator. Old Abe. These are familiar monikers of Abraham Lincoln. They describe a man who has influenced the lives of everyday people as well as notables like Leo Tolstoy, Marilyn Monroe, and Winston Churchill. But there is also a multitude of fictional Lincolns almost as familiar as the original: time traveler, android, monster hunter. This book explores Lincoln's evolution from martyred president to cultural icon and the struggle between the Lincoln of history and his fictional progeny. He has been Simpsonized by Matt Groening, charmed by Shirley Temple, and emulated by the Lone Ranger. Devotees have attempted to clone him or to raise him from the dead. Lincoln's image and memory have been invoked to fight communism, mock a sitting president, and sell products. Lincoln has even been portrayed as the greatest example of goodness humanity has to offer. In short, Lincoln is the essential American myth.
