Kitty Carter, Canteen Girl
?Oh, Kitty, look!? Little Billy Carter jumped up and down in delight beside his tall sister. ?There's Daddy!??Where?? Kitty asked as she searched the files of marching troops for a look at her dad.Billy pointed with his chubby finger. ?Yonder! The straightest, bestest of all!?Then Kitty's heart swelled with pride, too, as she watched a tall man with the other medical officers from the Naval hospital. They were all wonderful, those rhythmical, moving lines of blue, green and khaki, but for the two Carters the heart and soul of it all was the Chief Pharmacist's Mate they called Dad. They were sure the war could never be won without him.
Sir Nigel and the White Company
Perhaps the two best historical novels ever written about the Hundred Years War "[These two books] made an accurate picture of that great age, and that as a single piece of work they form the most complete, satisfying and ambitious thing I have ever done." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Certainly everyone has heard of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His Sherlock Holmes stories will never be forgotten. But most people don't realize that he was also very possibly the best historical novelist of his day. Sir Nigel and the White Company combines two of his best novels into one. Sir Nigel describes the early years of Nigel Loring during his initial service with King Edward III during the Hundred Years War. Doyle captures the period brilliantly-from the cadence and style of their speech, to unforgettable descriptions of court life, to the capture of the Castle of La Brohiniere, to a stirring account of the Battle of Poitiers. It is a classic adventure tale, full of romance, chivalry, battles, brutality, and humor as the impoverished Nigel Loring and his attendant Aylward seek their fortunes. In The White Company, it is now 1366 and Sir Nigel is the leader of a raucous band of English bowmen known as the White Company. It's a story of hard blows and daring feats, to be sure, but it also captures the spirit that animated the English leaders and the reasons behind the fearsome reputation of the English archers. When Conan Doyle was once asked which novel of his was his favorite, he replied, The White Company. "I was young" he said, "and full of the first joy of life and action and I think I got some of it into my pages." If you enjoy reading about chivalrous knights and glorious deeds, in a context of historical accuracy, this book is for you. "Now order the ranks, and fling wide the banners, for our souls are God's, our bodies the king's, and our swords for Saint George and for England!" - The White Company
The Boy Scouts of the Life Saving Crew
?We're almost there now,? said Alec Sands as he steered the big touring car around a curve in the road and out upon a long stretch of hard, smooth, well-oiled clay. ?Unless I'm mistaken, that white church spire over there beyond the fringe of palm trees marks the end of our journey. I really didn't know it was going to be such a long run, or I'd have told Bronson to send some lunch with us.??Wish you had!? Chester Brownell exclaimed, leaning back in his seat in the tonneau. ?I'm almost starved!? ?I reckon we can make up for it to-night,? added Billy Worth, who sat in front beside Alec. ?This Santario is quite a place, isn't it, Alec???I think so,? answered young Sands. ?From what I've heard, I guess it's a sizable town now, though only a few years ago it was a mere village inhabited by fishermen. Someone discovered that the soil two miles inland from the village was suited for raising oranges, so he bought up several acres and planted an orange grove. Since then others have followed the leader, and now the village has grown so large that the oldest inhabitant can hardly recognize it.?
