A collection of short stories with a few essays and poems written by Mack Willard Riley, an extraordinarily successful blind man who became a teacher, journalist, political activist for persons with disabilities and even a single father despite his physical challenge of Glaucoma blindness. This book is the first extensive collection of his writings. Mack takes us on a nostalgic journey from growing up in the small Mississippi town of Itawamba, exploring the world abroad and returning home.
Star D'Apliese is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father - the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star - the most enigmatic of the sisters - is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world.
First published in 1964. When A Million and One Nights was first published in 1926, it was hailed as "the first complete source book on the motion picture" and its author, Terry Ramsaye, as "the first authentic film historian." The intervening years have established A Million and One Nights as a classic, standard work on the history of the motion picture from the beginning through 1925. The contents of this edition are identical with those of the original two-volume edition.
