Nicméně Cal Hooper před padesátkou zatoužil po klidu, a tak nyní tráví dny opravami zchátralého stavení, které si za oceánem k překvapení všech koupil. Jeho společenský život se smrskl na rozhovory s všetečným sousedem Martem, na nutné návštěvy obchodu, jehož majitelka Noreen mu dohazuje ovdovělou sestru, a na občasné pivo v místní hospodě. Náhle však do tohoto usedlého, byť vcelku spokojeného života nečekaně vstoupí třináctiletý kluk, jehož prosbu nelze odmítnout. Trey je totiž přesvědčen, že jeho staršího sourozence někdo unesl, a v americkém profesionálovi ve výslužbě spatřuje jedinou naději na bratrovo nalezení. Navzdory pochybnostem o nezákonném pozadí mladíkova zmizení se Cal pouští do pátrání – a teprve teď důkladně poznává pravou tvář komunity, do níž by chtěl zapadnout.

Before The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the earliest myths and legends of Middle-earth and Valinor were laid down in The Book of Lost Tales, written by J.R.R. Tolkien between 1916 and 1920, and compiled by Christopher Tolkien for publication in 1983.The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor, for the Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion.Embedded in English legend, they are set in the narrative frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol to the lonely Isle where the Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts of Gods and Elves, Dwarves, Balrogs and Orcs; of the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; of the geography and cosmology of Tolkien’s invented world.This first volume in Christopher Tolkien’s epic History of Middle-earth series is the perfect gateway for anyone wanting to tread deeper into the rich tapestry of Tolkien’s world and discover the evolution of the Middle-earth stories.

Situated in the Welsh borderland to the West of Oswestry, the scenic Tanat Valley reached westwards into Wales, its Llangynog terminus nestling where the road starts the climb over the Berwyn mountain range towards Bala. It was a lightly populated area that sustained agriculture and some mineral extraction whose residents struggled to get their produce to market. During the 19th Century there were several schemes for a railway that failed due their inability to raise sufficient capital. The Tanat Valley Light Railway is, therefore, a true child of the 1896 Light Railways Act, promoted by the Oswestry Urban District Council the following year to take advantage of the grant-making facilities of that legislation. Because it took so long to obtain powers, and it was not opened until 1906, the Light Railway never really fulfilled its potential. Operated initially by the Cambrian Railways, it was not heavily worked, although it benefited from pipe traffic generated by renewals of Liverpool Corporation’s Vyrnwy reservoir pipeline. Although closure came in stages during the 1950s, and was deemed to be complete in 1960, a short section of track remains in situ at Porthywaen.

Oscar Wilde''s fairy tales are some of his most elegant and charming pieces of writing. He produced two books of fairy tales -- THE HAPPY PRINCE AND OTHER TALES, and A HOUSE OF POMEGRANATES .
