Hole in the Sky! a True Story
Author: Dale A. Adams; Publisher: PublishAmerica
During World War II, Mexico's long-established anti-American sentiment was further entrenched by its natural loyalty to Germany. Caught between the American tourist dollar and a growing resentment toward the gringo, this bitterness festered well into 1949, the time of the story. Thus an innocent adventure became a series of blunderings by two who had been warned not to leave on their ill-fated flight, but in their arrogance they assured their critics, We can handle it. Lost in a strange land, too late to turn back, they began to sense the precarious and foreboding relationship between Mexico and the United States. In a small village, complete with language barriers, they sought help. A congenial negotiation suddenly erupted into a serious misunderstanding. In a rare moment of wisdom they ran for their lives. They got away, but that was only the beginning. The next day they crashed.

When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent to stay with a kind professor who lives in the country, they can hardly imagine the extraordinary adventure that awaits them. It all begins one rainy summer day when the children explore the Professor's rambling old house. When they come across a room with an old wardrobe in the corner, Lucy immediately opens the door and gets inside. To her amazement, she suddenly finds herself standing in the clearing of a wood on a winter afternoon, with snowflakes falling through the air. Lucy has found Narnia, a magical land of Fauns and Centaurs, Nymphs and Talking Animals -- and the beautiful but evil White Witch, who has held the country in eternal winter for a hundred years.

Hieroglyphic Tales
Author: Horace Walpole; Publisher: Alan Rodgers Books
From Walpole's own 1785 introduction: The Hieroglyphic Tales were undoubtedly written a little before the creation of the world, and have ever since been preserved, by oral tradition, in the mountains of Crampcraggiri, an uninhabited island, not yet discovered. Of these few facts we could have the most authentic attestations of several clergymen, who remember to have heard them repeated by old men long before they, the said clergymen, were born. We do not trouble the reader with these attestations, as we are sure everybody will believe them as much as if they had seen them. . . .

Playing by Ear
Author: David Tatge; Publisher: iUniverse
Playing by Ear tells the story of John Conrad, a man who has so idealized his wife Emma that he has destroyed his ability to relate to the wider world and the mortal women who inhabit it. Deranged by her sudden departure, he sets out--although he doesn't seem to realize it--to find someone equally worthy of worship. Living and working and buying too many CDs in suburban Chicago, John careens from reality to fantasy, rarely capable of a chaste thought, searching for a way to redeem himself and for the one song that explains it all.
