Alex lost his family when he was nine years old and has been searching for them ever since. His search leads him to America, where he is kidnapped and held for ranson. Only his wits and juggling talents help him to survive. When he meets Louisa, who resembles his younger sister, he finds himself involved in an international political mystery that could be the end of his juggling career.

A gripping tale for smart children and the young-at-heart, Juggle's Journey follows a lovable little squirrel as he begins his personal walk with Christ after an extraordinary encounter with God. He responds in obedience, equipped with only a limited knowledge about almost everything, and discovers that the temptations and testing of his faith are as commonplace as they are inevitable which, time and again, not only challenge his loyalty and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ but also serve to build him up when he learns to overcome. From a greedy old rabbit to spider monkeys with an ulterior motive to facing a vengeful ophidian to being enticed with evil spiritual forces, Juggle gains many flashes of insight from these and many other creatures with their diverse needs and circumstances. He is oblivious to how much his gradual but steady growth has impacted others until its positive influences are felt by them. But even so, is he resilient enough to survive the vicissitudes of life out in the world? Will his simple faith be sufficient to sustain him from being swayed by the life challenges that await him?

Juggling is one of the oldest art-forms in the world - perhaps as ancient as music and dance - but little has been written about its history. This book explores material evidence of juggling from around the world, tracing its development in disparate cultures over the course of millennia.

Science writer Carolyn Abraham tells the story of how she traced her genetic genealogy back to its scattered beginnings.

This ambitious and vivid study in six volumes explores the journey of a single, electrifying story, from its first incarnation in a medieval French poem through its prolific rebirth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Juggler of Notre Dame tells how an entertainer abandons the world to join a monastery, but is suspected of blasphemy after dancing his devotion before a statue of the Madonna in the crypt; he is saved when the statue, delighted by his skill, miraculously comes to life. Jan Ziolkowski tracks the poem from its medieval roots to its rediscovery in late nineteenth-century Paris, before its translation into English in Britain and the United States. The visual influence of the tale on Gothic revivalism and vice versa in America is carefully documented with lavish and inventive illustrations, and Ziolkowski concludes with an examination of the explosion of interest in The Juggler of Notre Dame in the twentieth century and its place in mass culture today. In this volume Jan Ziolkowski follows the juggler of Notre Dame as he cavorts through new media, including radio, television, and film, becoming closely associated with Christmas and embedded in children’s literature. Presented with great clarity and simplicity, Ziolkowski's work is accessible to the general reader, while its many new discoveries will be valuable to academics in such fields and disciplines as medieval studies, medievalism, philology, literary history, art history, folklore, performance studies, and reception studies.

In the late Middle Ages, Orontius grows up in poverty in a peasant family. After the sudden death of his mother, his father entrusts him to the vagabond Eberlein to protect him from hunger and hardship. The only condition is that Eberlein and his troupe take Orontius to a monastery in Siegen on his 15th birthday. An adventurous time begins for the boy. At the monastery, Orontius learns about the life of the Franciscans and becomes a monk. It is during this time that he meets Gregory of Metz, with whom he forms a deep friendship. However, he doubts the abbot's integrity. After more than two decades, Orontius leaves the monastery to visit his father. There he discovers that everything has changed. From then on, he learns about life in all its brutality, but also in all its beauty.
