An antique book about Highland Targets and other shields.
Here is a class of Scottish antiquities to which hitherto comparatively little attention has been paid by the archeologist. I mean the warlike weapons, offensive and defensive, of our Highland forefathers, many of which were used down to a comparatively recent period. Of these weapons much ignorance seems to prevail even among the Highlanders themselves, who almost invariably answer inquiries as to their age, that they had no doubt they had been used from time immemorial.
An escape into the snowbound winter night starts a lifelong enmity between two young creatures - a badger and a ferret. By turns they become the hunter and the hunted in this epic tale stretching from the north to the east wastelands. Will Sunflash the Mace find Salamandastron and fulfil his destiny? What drove Swartt Sixclaw to wrest power from Bowfleg, which would make him warlord of a great horde? And why did the Abbess of Redwall banish a young creature from her Abbey, a sentence which forced a heartbreaking decision upon a mousemaid, linking her destiny to that of... the Outcast of Redwall?
Golding's sea trilogy, which follows the trials and fortunes of a warship captain bound for Australia. Whilst at sea he writes a journal to send back to England in which he records the mounting tensions onboard ship. Rites of Passage is Book One of a trilogy that was made into a BBC serial called To The Ends of The Earth, and it won the Booker in 1980. It's a comi-tragic sea journey and a coming-of-age tale about Mr William Talbot, a young aristocrat on his way to Australia to take up a government position procured for him by his wealthy godfather.
