The Princess of Aenya is a fantasy adventure tale blending elements of Sci-Fi and fairytales. The heroine, Princess Radia, is forced to flee from her home when her step-brother seizes the throne of the fabled city of Tyrnael. Her only protector is Demacharon, a war-torn soldier from a distant land. As they seek sanctuary in foreign lands, Radia discovers that she is unlike other people, that she is able to feel the pain and emotions of every creature around her, especially those she left at the hands of her cruel step-brother. Thematically, The Princess of Aenya deals with issues of environmentalism, religion and redemption, and the dichotomy between compassion and cruelty. It is reminiscent/inspired by The Last Unicorn and The NeverEnding Story.

Naked and alone Xandr roams war ravaged Enya, championing the downtrodden by his skull-faced sword, while fleeing a bloody past and a burdensome fate. But in a city under siege, he meets the lithe and statuesque Thelana, a woman, as himself, of the rarely-clothed and nature-worshipping Ilmar, a people on the tail end of genocide. Allied with Emmalina, a raven-eyed sorceress; and Grimosse, a faithful, hammer-wielding monster, they journey from oceans turned desert to pewter carved citadels, from an undiscovered isle to a fabled utopia; in search of an answer to the ancient mystery of their forlorn and divided planet.

In England, the summer of1976 turned out to be the hottest on record. By a lucky coincidence, that was the same summer that Diane Goodwin decided to turn her traditional bed & breakfast and campsite into a naturist camp. Situated on the fringe of the popular New Forest, Diane sought to achieve her ambition of having an all-over tan with the help of a disparate mix of friends and family and against the opposition of some very conservative locals. The result is a naked pleasure.

Table of contents

The image in Hollywood movies of savage Indians attacking white settlers represents only one side of a very complicated picture. In fact sympathetic portrayals of Native Americans stood alongside those of hostile Indians in the silent films of D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille, and flourished during the early 1930s with Hollywood's cycle of pro-Indian adventures. Decades later, the stereotype became even more complicated, as films depicted the savagery of whites (The Searchers) in contrast to the more peaceful Indian (Broken Arrow). By 1990 the release of Dances with Wolves appeared to have recycled the romantic and savage portrayals embedded in early cinema. In this new study, author Angela Aleiss traces the history of Native Americans on the silver screen, and breaks new ground by drawing on primary sources such as studio correspondence, script treatments, trade newspapers, industry censorship files, and filmmakers' interviews to reveal how and why Hollywood created its Indian characters. Behind-the-scenes anecdotes of filmmakers and Native Americans, as well as rare archival photographs, supplement the discussion, which often shows a stark contrast between depiction and reality. The book traces chronologically the development of the Native American's screen image while also examining many forgotten or lost Western films. Each chapter will feature black and white stills from the films discussed.

The witty and entertaining New York Times bestselling memoir from the urbane and ultra-tanned icon himself—George Hamilton. Don't let that tanned, handsome, charming surface fool you. Beneath the bronzed façade is a mischievous mind with a wicked wit. George Hamilton doesn't miss a thing. With a front row seat for classic Hollywood's biggest secrets and scandals, George has the intelligence, heart, and unflappable spirit to tell his story, and the story of Tinseltown's heyday, with great good humor and delicious candor—as only he can. From Where the Boys Are to Dancing with the Stars; from Mary Pickford to Elizabeth Taylor; from smalltown Arkansas to the capitals of Europe—it's all here, and George has lived to tell and to laugh about it. As the child of a Dartmouth-educated bandleader father and a glamorous Southern debutante mother whose marriage crumbled early on, George had a childhood filled with misadventures and challenges that his mother always seemed able to turn from tragedy to comedy. Her idea of changing the family's fortunes involved a trip cross-country with three sons and a poodle in a Lincoln Continental, making stops along the way to search for husband/father number three. And she was quick to recognize that George's potential success lay in Hollywood. George starved nobly for his art in the late 1950s, but was soon starring in major motion pictures directed by the likes of Vincente Minnelli and Louis Malle. He has forgotten more about Hollywood than most movie experts will ever know and shares intimate and hugely entertaining stories of his friendships with Cary Grant; Brigitte Bardot; Robert Mitchum; Merle Oberon; Mae West; Sammy Davis, Jr.; and Judy Garland—not to mention Lyndon B. Johnson and Elvis's Colonel Tom Parker as well as the King himself—among others. The world is Hamilton's oyster, and this ultimate insider is ready to share it with us. So fasten your seat belt. We'll tell you when it's safe to move about the cabin again.
