The Child of the Moat

The Child of the Moat by Ian B. Stoughton Holborn

The Child of the Moat by Ian B. Stoughton Holborn

Ian Holborn (professor of archaeology and a writer) was on board the RMS Lusitania when it was torpedoed, and as it sank he rescued a 12 year old girl named Avis Dolphin. She later complained that books for girls were not very interesting, so he decided to write one for her “as thrilling as any book written for boys!” This book is dedicated to her.

From the Preface: This story is not written for grown-ups, and if they want to know why it begins with such a gruesome first chapter, let them ask the children. Children like the horrors first and the end all bright. Many grown-ups like the tragedy at the end. But perhaps the children are right and the grown-ups are standing on their heads.

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable by J.C. Gorham

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable by J.C. Gorham

The well known and delightful tale of Alice in Wonderland but retold in simpler language. All the characters are there, even the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. Note that even though the title says ‘words of one syllable’, there are quite a few two and even multiple syllable words which the author divides into smaller bites by using dashes. Don’t let this bother you. The book is well written and would be an excellent choice for all listeners or those for whom English is not their first language.

Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan, Vol. I.

Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan, Vol. I. by John L. Stephens

Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan, Vol. I. by John L. Stephens

The year is 1838. The scene is the dense Honduran forest along the Copán River. Two men, John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, are about to rediscover Mayan civilization. Their guide, slashing through the rampant growth with his machete, leads them to a structure with steps up the side, shaped like a pyramid. Next they see a stone column, fourteen feet high, sculptured on the front with a portrait of a man, “solemn, stern and well fitted to excite terror,” covered on the sides with hieroglyphics, and with workmanship “equal to the finest monuments of the Egyptians.” Stephens records these discoveries and also his travels in Central America, where he had been sent by President Van Buren as special ambassador to the ill-fated Republic of Central America. The republic being engulfed in civil war when Stephens arrives in Guatemala, he finds himself dodging revolutionary armies while he hunts for a “legitimate government” to which to present his credentials. Catherwood, meanwhile, directs his immense artistic talent to illustrating views of Mayan architecture. Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan was a best seller in its day and has been called an “Indiana Jones” saga by modern reviewers.
