could not wait for my eighth birthday, but everybody was crying. I didn't understand why they were so upset - don't they know that I will be fine? I did not know it then but my life was about to change - forever. I will tell you what it's like to lose your hair, vomit for hours and learn how to walk again. I will share with you the sadness of losing a friend in the ward next to me, but I will also share my happiest moments with you. Join me on my journey of becoming a cancer survivor, and against all odds a provincial badminton player. The words in this book are Sarah's, or Spunky as she is affectionately known. She started to write them only a short time after her diagnosis - she was eight years old. Her story is one of bravery and determination. Publisher's Note This true story is a snap shot of a difficult time in the life of a little girl - Sarah, or rather Spunky as she is known by her family and friends. Never has a name fitted a person so well. Sarah at eight years old wrote this book but she was helped by her mother, Nicky. Nicky gave understanding to the medical terms and did the initial edit, but they are Sarah's words. We have been lenient with the edit for Spunky's words, where we retained incorrect tenses and grammar to preserve her "voice". As the publisher, many have asked me what I enjoyed the most about the manuscript. Obviously Sarah's bravery inspired me, as did her positive outlook. But the best was to get to know Sarah through her candid descriptions. I am sure you will be as enchanted as I was. I am humbled by the privilege of bringing her story to the world.

Route 77 is a biography and poetic travelogue; it is wisdom; it is esoteric; it is funny. Spirituality gets Dorian's attention, as does nature, philosophy, psychology, animals, dreams. It offers a paradox of mysticism and the concrete, where eclectic material jumps around like beans in a sizzling pan (he includes a Greek recipe.) Dorian dubs this original format as a kind of Babushka with seven dolls. Imagine each doll decorated with eleven symbols and images. Holograms. This innovative approach also serves as a creative writing manual, a sequel to his The Writer's Voice (1998). Dorian's mastery of teasing-out the right words prompted one reader to say, I confess I had goose bumps - was it the writing or the red wine? How wonderful when metaphor and fruity tannins coalesce. Bios are often a once-off read. This book deserves a second, or third foray with its poems, prose and personality. We encounter Dorian's commitment to personal development through his insatiable curiosity and his love for the land he treads. The tortoise (his logo) carries him to far off places: the back of this land is tortoise shell,its case cast by ancient waves,its plates taken from ancestral fish.....and led by an amphibian chin,in folk-tale steadiness,it crawls ever towards water.(Tortoise Land)

Li Sen's Drifting Skandhas is a poetic testimony to an ancient practice essential to our life and times. He writes; We are offered a synthesis of academic, philosophic, anti-philosophic (Lacan), artistic, literary and poetic modes. The great Buddhist classic, the Heart Sutra, seeks to transcend the constraints of academicism. The walls between written forms are illusory. It is not argument that transports us through the paradoxically named Gateless Gate, where 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form', but the wings of imagery. The text, like that of the ancient Chinese sage-poets, is rich with the author's poetry, in which metaphors take us as far as language can go before it touches silence and enters the inexpressible. The cock crows, drinking in the remnants of the sun.The cock coos, drinking in fleeting time.Its crows are chained together like the peaks of mountains, as swarms of incipient rainclouds hanging in the sky. (Li Sen) From the perspective of contemporary philosophy, art and literature, the author tributes the Heart Sutra, one of the most profound sutras in Buddhism. Le Sen has more than thirty years experience in culture and research into Buddhist philosophy. Li Sen created "e;drift"e; language as the theoretical framework and writing style, with philosophy of poetic prose.Sales Points Contribution by Bill Porter (Red Pine) Thirty ancient paintings adorn the work Replete with footnotes Translator; Deng Zhihui Testimonial by Doriaan Haarhoff (Ph.D) (author of 20 books)

(From the pen of the chief editor Mei Zihan) Although I am Chinese, as a child I seldom heard adults tell stories of Chinese ancestry or tradition. Stories of our heritage, are important us. Folk tales teach and give children identity yet, there were barely any stories in my heart. Later, even after becoming a writer, and later a professor, I still experienced an emptiness. That is why I think children should have traditional stories as part of their healthy upbringing; stories about ancient China, of inspiration and magic, beauty, bravery, kindness and poetry, rich Chinese ideas, full of intelligence. This ideal also applies to children worldwide.This four book series is evidence of our rich culture. Without doubt, they are equal to the beautiful work of the Brothers Grimm, just as inspiring, and with as much colour, as much fun, that will often leave the child in awe.Readers will learn about China and its long and varied history; about its multi ethnic people, its traditions, about the foods they eat, their clothes and architecture. Perhaps just as important, they will learn about our etiquette and that respect for another, which is, and has always been, the cornerstone of the Chinese way.Each folk/fairy tale is of a different nation within the great land of China. So readers will learn about that land, and those people, about their customs and traditions, their suspicions, heroes and villains.
