From time immemorial, priests, saints, occultists and soothsayers have used the ancient art of candle burning in prayer, supplication or to create a reality. It's a cornerstone of practice in Christian faiths and witchcraft and paganism. This book simplifies and demystifies the ancient practice with advice on the best colours to use, the phase of the moon, the appropriate day of the week, incantations and even alternative Bible verses for those uncomfortable with paganism. More importantly, it tells the practitioner what NOT to do and underlines the rule of, 'Do what thou wilt - with harm to none.' -

Mount Lidgbird and Ball's Pyramid commemorate the discovery of Lord Howe Island in 1788 by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, commander of the Supply, when Lieutenant King sailed in it to establish a settlement in Norfolk Island. Between that time and 1834 only whalers and an occasional schooner, visited this Pacific paradise, which had evidently never been inhabited. In 1834 three former sailors, with their Maori wives, settled at the head of Hunter Bay. They all left in 1841, but others succeeded and the commencement of the palm-seed industry by Captain Armstrong in 1878 brought commercial property to the island. Originally printed in 1940, a fascinating history of Lord Howe Island - its discovery and early associations and illustrated with wonderful old black and white photographs, covering the years 1788 - 1888. -

The sequel to Abbie. The further outrageous, funny and entirely credible adventures of Lady Abbott-Acland (and her best friend Maud) - the prototype of all impossible female relations. Abbie can cause a peculiar gut-guilt reaction; since most of us have done - or wish we'd done - some of the appallingly brazen things that she gets away with! And she is still observed with clear-sighted affection by her long-suffering nephew, and revealed through her copious letters from unlikely addresses and erroneous headings. -
