Victor Canning wrote three books for children about Samuel Miles, known as 'Smiler', who is on the run from the police. In the first he encounters a cheetah which has escaped from Longleat. In the second he goes to Scotland. In the third he rescues a falcon. This book contains a life of Victor Canning, a background essay Canning wrote saying how he came to write the first book, photographs of some of the locations, with notes and an index covering all three titles.
As part of the historicizing corpus of seventh-century Irish writing, the Lives framed the narrative of the early saints as an effective weapon in contemporary political and ecclesiastical conflicts. Cogitosus’s Life of Brigit, Muirchú’s and Tírechán’s accounts of Saint Patrick, and Adomnán’s Life of Columba created the understanding of the history of early Ireland that has endured to this day. How did the writers accomplish this through their literary choices? The authors of Irish saints’ Lives used the literary form of hagiography (Christian biography), miracle stories, and an elaborate rhetorical style to present the words and actions of their subjects. These Lives created a narrative of early Irish history that supported the political/ecclesiastical elites by showing that their power derived from the actions of their patron saints.
When three students inadvertently create an opening into our dimension from an alternate universe known as The Twist, they become the focus for the evil death-bitch Razorjack. Maverick cops, Frame and Ross, are assigned a disturbing serial killer case which draws them into what is potentially the final battle between good and evil. It is written and illustrated by John Higgins (Watchmen).
This book is written in the light of the author's experience to overcome the seemingly impossible. The life-changing words of one of his school teachers, "John, you've got what it takes. You can " was in stark contrast to other school teachers' discouraging remarks, "You cannot. It is impossible to achieve what you are aiming for; it had never been done before and it would never be done." His success story has proven those negative teachers wrong.
