The Case of Backward Mule
Terry Clane, an expert in the ways of the Orient, returns to San Francisco after another extended stay in China and is promptly picked up by the police. His former girlfriend, Cynthia Renton, is being sought for questioning. Her fiancé, Edward Harold, who has been convicted of murder of businessman Horace Farnsworth and sentenced to the gas chamber at San Quentin, has just escaped police custody and is a fugitive.
Russian Tales of Demonic Possession opens with an introduction that interprets and contextualizes both the late-medieval and the twentieth-century tales. By providing new critical interpretations of all four tales as well as a short discussion of the history of demons in Russia, this introduction makes an eerily exotic world accessible to today’s English-speaking audiences.
First published in 1936, this book is a historical novel set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War. It tells the love story of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.

The Green UmbrellaWhen Elephant takes a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, he's interrupted by a hedgehog, cat, bear, and rabbit―each claiming that they’ve had exciting adventures with his umbrella. After all, it is an umbrella, and it certainly hasn’t been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it? Things aren’t always what they seem in this charming tale of imagination, sharing and friendship. Jackie Azúa Kramer and illustrator Maral Sassouni both make their debut in this fun read-aloud!
