Iron Road

     Iron Road follows the journey of Little Tiger (Sun Li), a child whose quest    for her long-lost father takes her from a fireworks factory in China to a          remote construction camp in the Rockies. Lured by the myth of 'Gum San'  - Gold Mountain - she and her countrymen travels to Canada by the  thousands to do the back-breaking work of blasting through the mountains to  lay track. She soon learns that railroads only bring fortune to the few and that  every mile of track is purchased with fear and death. As treachery and    prejudice threaten her, Little Tiger must use her wits and courage to fulfill her  quest and honour her friends who died in this foreign land.

To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;	
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more we may live ever.

The Sketch Book

TheSketchbookTitlePage.jpg

  The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., commonly referred to as The Sketch Book, is a collection of 34 essays and short stories written by American author Washington Irving. It was published serially throughout 1819 and 1820. The collection includes two of Irving's best-known stories, attributed to the fictional Dutch historian Diedrich Knickerbocker, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle". It also marks Irving's first use of the pseudonym "Geoffrey Crayon", which he would continue to employ throughout his literary career.
