Philadelphia firefighter and bartender Joey Novak experiences a life-changing experience when he discovers an old suitcase holding the lost gold presented to the Christ Child by the Three Kings. In a materialistic, seemingly uncaring world, this everyday father and husband learns he has been selected as the next Keeper of the Coins. His job: to share his newfound riches and powers with the desperate and needy who will cross his path. With the help of an ornery, impatient mentor, Joey Novak eventually learns, and lives, the wisdom of the proverb: It is better to give than to receive.

As a result of colonization, many varieties of English now exist around the world. Originally published in 2005, Legacies of Colonial English brings together a team of internationally renowned scholars to discuss the role of British dialects in both the genesis and subsequent history of postcolonial Englishes. Considering the input of Scottish, English and Irish dialects, they closely examine a wide range of Englishes - including those in North and South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand - and explain why many of them still reflect non-standard British usage from the distant past. Complete with a checklist of dialect features, a detailed glossary and set of general references on the topic of postcolonial Englishes, this book will be an invaluable source to scholars and students of English language and linguistics, particularly those interested in sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and dialectology.
