The traditional Fairy Tales with all the charm and fun of the familiar stories. Cinderella gets her Prince, Rumplestiltskin loses his prize, and the Frog Prince gets his princess. The beloved tales known for so many years and presented in an entertaining and wonderfully appealing way, with a full cast of characters, performed by voice actors. AUTHOR Traditional Traditional folk stories, many called fairy tales, have been recorded by writers since the time the stories were told by oral tradition in various cultures. COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Cinderella, The Frog Prince and Rumplestiltskin Alcazar AudioWorks brings a terrific cast of character voices together to produce a most whimsical hour (64 minutes) of three favorite stories: Cinderella, Rumplestiltskin, and The Frog Prince. The fabulous voices bring the characters to life in a most extraordinary way. The actors include Johnnie Anderson, Al Bedrosian, Bruce Blau, Paul Coyle, Bobbie Frohman, John Lavette, Susan McCarthy, Linda Montogomery, David Thorn, Larry Smith and Roger Vosburg. Each voice allows the imagination to run wild with visions of princes, frogs, princesses, and fairies. You'll sympathize with Cinderella and cheer for her as the stepsisters realize how horrible they've been to their future queen! Rumplestiltskin is truly a repulsive little imp who takes advantage of the miller's daughter in her hour of need, but he gets his when a messenger finds his secret place and tells the Queen his unusual name. The selfish princess learns a valuable lesson when the king insists that she keep her word. She must allow the frog to share her dinner plate and her pillow at night, as she promised. However, all is not so bad when the frog turns into a handsome prince. The classic stories will delight children, parents, and grandparents alike. Easily these stories can accompany drawing lessons, change a rainy day into imagination day or take the tedium out of car-travel and make the ride fun.

A Book of Golden Deeds, Vol. 1

What is a Golden Deed? We all of us enjoy a story of battle and adventure. Some of us delight in the anxiety and excitement with which we watch the various strange predicaments, hairbreadth escapes, and ingenious contrivances that are presented to us; and the mere imaginary dread of the dangers thus depicted, stirs our feelings and makes us feel eager and full of suspense. A Golden Deed must be something more than mere display of fearlessness. Grave and resolute fulfilment of duty is required to give it the true weight. For the true metal of a Golden Deed is self-devotion. Selfishness is the dross and alloy that gives the unsound ring to many an act that has been called glorious. And, on the other hand, it is not only the valour, which meets a thousand enemies upon the battlefield, or scales the walls in a forlorn hope, that is of true gold. It may be, but often it is a mere greed of fame, fear of shame, or lust of plunder. No, it is the spirit that gives itself for others–the temper that for the sake of religion, of country, of duty, of kindred, nay, of pity even to a stranger, will dare all things, risk all things, endure all things, meet death in one moment, or wear life away in slow, persevering tendance and suffering.

Black Powder War

“A splendid series.” –Anne McCaffrey “Naomi Novik has done for the Napoleonic Wars what Anne McCaffrey did for science fiction: constructed an alternate reality in which dragons are real in a saga that is impressively original, fully developed, and peopled with characters you care about.” –David Weber, author of the Honor Harrington series After their fateful adventure in China, Capt. Will Laurence of His Majesty’s Aerial Corps and his extraordinary dragon, Temeraire, are waylaid by a mysterious envoy bearing urgent new orders from Britain. Three valuable dragon eggs have been purchased from the Ottoman Empire, and Laurence and Temeraire must detour to Istanbul to escort the precious cargo back to England. Time is of the essence if the eggs are to be borne home before hatching. Yet disaster threatens the mission at every turn–thanks to the diabolical machinations of the Chinese dragon Lien, who blames Temeraire for her master’s death and vows to ally herself with Napoleon and take vengeance. Then, faced with shattering betrayal in an unexpected place, Laurence, Temeraire, and their squad must launch a daring offensive. But what chance do they have against the massed forces of Bonaparte’s implacable army? From the Paperback edition.
