'ER or, The Brassbound Beauty, The Bearded Bicyclist, and the Gold-colored Teen-age Grandfather
 |
DescriptionWho is 'ER?What is she?A medieval beauty whose likeness was carved on a brass burial plate back in the 14th century...Switch to the 1960's.The lady is still snugly interred at the bottom of what is now an English garden attached to a rented house in the sleep town of Poke-on-Thames. Along comes a schoolteacher-archaeology buff fresh out of St. Louis, Missouri, who exhumes her from a bed of dahlia corms. The discovery—a rare and valuable find—sets off a chain of events that shatters the town's perennial tranquility to its staid foundations.Others are also caught up in this zany caper—a hustling American businessman, a slum-born pop singer on the wane, the rich, amorous queen of Poke-on-Thames' American colony, and a motley parade of juicy English locals. Everything explodes in a farcical, slapstick climax that leaves Poke-on-Thames reeling.With funny-man Shepherd Mead calling the turns, it adds up to a hilariously good-natured spoof of all the English classes (including government bureaucrats), archaeology aficionados, expatriated Americans and anything else in the line of fire.'Er crackles with the same sense of free-wheeling fun that made Mead's earlier book, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a comic classic. |

The King's Mistress: The True and Scandalous Story of the Woman Who Stole the Heart of George I. by Claudia Gold
List Price: |
DescriptionAs the mistress and possible secret wife of George I, Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg, was England's first Georgian queen in all but name. Her nickname amongst the English, who loathed her and found her scrawny, was 'the Maypole'. Others sources complained she was old: she was hideous; she had appalling dress sense and was bald; she was excessive in her greed; she had no love for George and would have 'sold him to the highest bidder'; she was dim-witted; she was dull; she stood by passively as George pursued younger and more attractive mistresses; she condoned incest, willingly sharing George's affections and his bed with his half-sister, Sophia Charlotte. Yet this scandalous gossip only tells one kind of story. It doesn't mention how Melusine charmed George away from his wife, the beautiful and tempestuous wife, Sophia Dorothea of Celle, and bound him to her until his death. Nor does it show how her gentle nature and good sense helped keep George's notoriously dysfunctional family from tearing itself apart. The brutal English press, who pursued her mercilessly, gave Melusine no credit for her astonishing rise from minor courtier to the ranks of the most powerful women in Europe, or for her love of music that saw her mixing with everyone from George Frideric Handel to the flamboyant theatrical impresario John James Heidegger. In The King's Mistress Claudia Gold brings Melusine, and the many contradictions that make her such a fascinating character to vivid life. |

The Fool's Gold Route - Squamish to Coquitlam - British Columbian Wilderness Adventure
List Price: |
DescriptionThe Fool’s Gold Route; few attempt it; even fewer complete it.The Fool’s Gold Route is a 75 kilometre wilderness route that is not a trail. It is marked, in some places, with surveyor’s flagging, and in other places it is merely a squiggly line on a map; no trail, not even a marked route. Even the sections that have been marked with flagging, much of the flagging has fallen down over the years. Route navigation is done not by following the flagging, but with map and compass; or by the use of a GPS unit. Either way, be prepared for a lot of bushwhacking. You may even have to backtrack occasionally in order to get back on course.Some sections of the Fool’s Gold Route are well marked and are easy to follow. However, these marked and easy-to-follow sections are few and far between and really only exist at the start of the route and along a 5 kilometre section about half way through the route. One could spend a lot of time trying to stay exactly on the intended route, but I found that by navigating by the lay-of-the-land, and a bit of guesswork, was more practical. Much of the time the actual marked route doesn't offer any real advantage anyway. Then, at other times it would be folly to venture off of the marked route; much wiser to follow the dotted line on the map as closely as possible.Why is this off-trail hiking adventure so difficult? Well, there are many challenges to be faced when hiking the Fool’s Gold Route; the route crosses 3 major mountain passes and traverses several major valley bottoms. Each presents a significant obstacle and challenge. There are also logistical problems that are not easy to overcome.Most hikers will realize the upper limits of their personal capabilities when faced with such challenges. The Fool’s Gold Route is full of surprises and mysteries; some to be marvelled at; others to be feared. Your best defence is to be prepared.As you hike the Fool’s Gold Route you will pass through the domain of Slumach and his Lost Gold Mine. Some say his ghost still inhabits the region. I don’t dispute this claim. You will pass though regions that are said to possess strange giant lizards, weird giant salamanders, the wreckage of crashed airplanes, some said to contain valuable treasure within the smashed and twisted aluminum airframe. Keep your eyes open for the fabled ‘tent shaped rock’, a clue to the whereabouts of gold the likes of yea have never seen; walnut-sized gold nuggets, knee-deep. Ancient roads, made entirely out of cedar, wind their way up steep mountainsides, their purpose and destination unknown. And, of course, the Sasquatch, or Big Foot, is said to stalk these lands.How does the Fool’s Gold Route compare to the infamous West Coast Trail? The West Coast Trail, so gruelling that 3 hikers per day have to be rescued by helicopter every day, is roughly the same distance, but is a trail. It consists of strolls along sandy beaches, walks along boardwalks, climbing ladders and traversing bodies of water via boat or cable-car. Sure, there are some slippery sections, and some muddy sections, but you are never struggling through dense bush.The Fool’s Gold Route is 75 kilometres of struggling through the dense brush of jungle-like valley bottoms, wading though muddy swamps, summiting snow-covered high-altitude mountain passes, traversing steep over-grown side-hills; there is no trail. It is simply a partially-marked route; more of a line on a map really. No wooden walkways, no ladders.The Fool’s Gold Route; few attempt it; even fewer complete it. |
