With Uther, Jack Whyte, author of the richly praised Camulod Chronicles, has given us a portrait of Uther Pendragon, Merlyn's shadow--his boyhood companion and closest friend. And the man who would sire the King of the Britons.From the trials of boyhood to the new cloak of adult responsibility, we see Uther with fresh eyes. He will travel the length of the land, have adventures, and, through fate or tragedy, fall in love with the one woman he must not have. Uther is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything that has been available to readers before.

''You may have noticed,'' said Maut, ''that the Tree is on the move.''On the edge of the town of Kottow stands the tallest (and oddest) Tree in the land. It''s a staid and solid arbour - until the Tree picks up its mighty old roots and wanders off, taking its resident band of misfits away with it. Whither goes the Tree? Not even the wizard can say.''There is something mighty fey about all this, or my name ain''t Diggory Stokey.''Far away from Kottow, a forest lies lost in the mists of a dream. There''s much to mend in this hoary old wood, for the Summer''s been swept from the glittering skies, and no one''s keeping an eye on the Winter...''Enchanted forests,'' Mudleaf spat. ''Bah. Like it''s been raining magic this long age through.''The good folk of Kottow aren''t used to so wayward a magic - not even Maut Fey, the one with the sunlight behind her eyes. But magic will have its way with them, whether they will or no.Summertide''s waiting. Can the folk of the Tree bring it back, or will the wild magic wash them away?"If you mixed elements of the Faraway Tree, Narnia, Frozen and A Midsummer Night''s Dream together, you might get something like Summertide. Maybe." - The Author''Almond tarts for her MAJESTY!'' someone else roared. ''Apple ice-wine for her majesty!''

Originally published in "Harper's Magazine" in 1903 and 1904, "Italian Fantasies" is a 1910 work by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). Highly recommended for those with an interest in Italy and Italian history. Contents include: "Of Beauty, Faith, And Death - A Rhapsody By Way Of Prelude", "Fantasia Napolitana - Being A Reverie Of Aquariums, Museums, And Dead Christs", "The Carpenter's Wife - A Capriccio", "The Earth The Centre Of The Universe - Or The Absurdity Of Astronomy", "Of Autocosms Without Facts - Or The Emptiness Of Religions", etc. Israel Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname ""the Dickens of the Ghetto"". Other notable works by this author include: "Dreamers of the Ghetto" (1898), "Grandchildren of the Ghetto" (1892 ), and "Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People" (1892). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from "English Humourists of To-Day" by J. A. Hammerton.
