Beloved children's author Katherine Paterson and her husband collaborate on a new version of an old fairy tale written by Englishman Eden Phillpotts in 1910. The story, a fantasy, revolves around the possession by several people of the Flint Heart, a heart-shaped stone that changes whoever possesses it into an evil, power-driven and corrupt person. The moral is clear, in this century or Phillpott's, that times do not change, just the characters. A brilliant addition here being the all wise Zagabog- but no more from me- read this tale for yourself!

A great summer read to get your mind off everything. A man, determined to say goodbye to his dead parents, journeys to the underworld by means of modern technology, only to land in hell! The Vatican is alarmed and armed as the man attempts to rewrite Christianity's basic concepts.

This book swirls and swirls back in and out of the Third Reich, focusing on Hitler's meteoric rise to power in Germany, with well known key figures in the international diplomatic corps and German secret agencies, juxtaposed against the unsuspecting family of American Ambassador William Dodd, particularly his provocative daughter, Martha. At times gossipy and tragic, frightening and innocent, the Third Reich will be seen as never before due to Larson's exhaustive research and concise writing.
