Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games by Linda Garland Page, ISBN 080784425X
Part oral history and part rule book, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games is a joyous collection of memories of playing indoor and outdoor games; of making dolls, homemade board games, playhouses, and other toys - each with complete instructions and the flavor of southern Appalachia. Every toy and game has been tested by the Foxfire students and is devised to make or play yourself, without major expense, complicated parts, or electricity. Originally published in 1985, the book includes familiar games like marbles, hopscotch, and horseshoes, as well as more obscure entertainments such as stealing the pines, crows and cranes, and thimble. Here, too, are instructions for constructing playhouses, noisemakers, puzzles, and whimmy diddles. The book also provides information on special games traditionally played on Sundays, and holidays. For those who are tired of worn-out batteries and electronic toys and for anyone curious about the playtimes of an earlier generation, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games is a welcome and entertaining guide.
Orwell's Luck by Richard W. Jennings, ISBN 0618036288
I looked up from my notebook. Orwell was watching me. He didn't act scared at all.
"Hey, Orwell", I said. "Was there something you wanted to tell me?"
His ears perked up and he raised his chest like he was going to stand. But, of course, he couldn't.
"Don't worry, Orwell", I told him. "It'll be all right. My grandmother says that when stuff happens, even when it's bad, it happens for a good reason. It's just that we don't always know what the reason is".
Orwell twitched his nose at me a mile a minute and opened his little pink mouth like he really was going to say something. Then he smiled at me. It was really fast, and it only lasted a second, but it was definitely a smile.

Art Nouveau by Alastair Duncan, ISBN 0500202737
