Dragons, Kings, and the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Trees By: Lynn A. Dalton Dragons, Kings, and the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Trees is a fast-paced story about a sweet, immature, and unhappy girl who has been mistakenly displaced in modern times when she should be Lady Grace of ancient times. Grace can only get into ancient times through the magical assistance of the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Tree. The Heart Tree’s help is not free. Each being the Heart Tree assists must have evil in their heart, and the being must pay for the Heart Tree’s assistance by accomplishing blood sacrifices. Grace is selected to be an apprentice to an evil sorcerer, Belgand the Magnificent, so she may obtain evil in her heart and succeed in her quest to become Lady Grace. During her long journey, Grace finds out that she will eventually become the most feared High Sorceress ever to have lived in ancient times. Grace’s personal battle continues between becoming Lady Grace or remaining the High Sorceress of the Norwesian realm. To protect the Scindinvian realm, Goldendere the Great creates two Black Magic Draco Ice Dragons. The dragons become the most sought-after method of fighting battle engagements, especially when there is a High Sorcerer or High Sorceress upon their backs.

On 23 September 1642 Prince Rupert’s cavalry triumphed outside Worcester in the first major clash on the English Civil War. Almost precisely nine years later, on 3 September 1651, that war was won by Oliver Cromwell’s famous Ironsides outside the same city and in part upon the same ground. Stuart Reid provides a detailed yet readable new military history – the first to be published for over twenty years – of the three conflicts between 1642 and 1651 known as the English Civil War. Prince Rupert, Oliver Cromwell Patrick Ruthven, Alexander Leslie and Sir Thomas Fairfax all play their parts in this fast-moving narrative. At the heart of the book are fresh interpretations, not only of the key battles such as Marston Moor in 1644, but also of the technical and economic factors which helped shape strategy and tactics, making this a truly comprehensive study of one of the most famous conflicts in British history. This book is a must for all historians and enthusiasts of seventeenth-century English history.

This book mainly addresses the position, function, influence, and values of folk oral literature in the history of Chinese literature. Divided into 14 chapters, it systematically covers central aspects of folklore literature such as ballads, folk songs, Bianwen, Zajuci, Guzici, Zhugongdiao, Sanqu, Baojuan, Tanci, Zidishu, and so on from the Pre-Qin to the late Qing Dynasties, filling several gaps in literary history studies. It is a comprehensive literary work, and many of the materials cited here are rare and difficult to find. In addition, the book proposes some important theories, especially six highly generalized qualities of folk literature, namely that it is: popular, collective, oral, fresh, effusive, and innovative. With detailed, extensive materials, and quotations, the book represents the most systematic and comprehensive work to date on ancient Chinese folk literature. It is mutually complementary with Guowei Wang’s A Textual Research of the Traditional Chinese Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and Xun Lu’s A Brief History of Chinese Fiction; all three works are regarded as the most essential classics for researching the history of Chinese literature.
