Someone else mentioned this book and I thought, hey, I've heard of that. Only I can't find it, nor can I remember enough about it to search it out. With help, I've located a Chinese book with this as part of its title, but that's not the right one. The trouble with remembering the story is that what keeps coming to mind is a story I know is called Wizard of the Pigeons. For both...

I read this mystery / suspense novel back in the late '60s or thereabouts, and it may have been several years old at that time. Here is what i think i remember about it. A young British woman is searching for her brother, who disappeared while in Finland (or somewhere in Northern Europe). She travels to the place she knew he last was known to be to search for him. She gets involved...

I am looking for a book I read about 20 years ago but can't remember the author or title. It was about a Jewish boy from Yemen who came to Israel during Operation Magic Carpet in the late 1940's/early 1950's. I believe it was a non-fiction book, but it may have been fiction based on a true account. It was a thick hard-back book of several pages, probably published in the 1970's or earlier, with...

I need help remembering a book I read while in High School. I don't remember much, but the story was about a young man who was kidnapped by aliens for a zoo. He was placed in an exhibit that had furnishings from earth. The only other thing I remember was that he escaped by using stomach acid to burn through the door(?) and escaped with a stolen spaceship. If I remember correctly, the last...

Number of pages: 530 This book is an anthology of travel writing, which I've been slowly reading over the last few months. Throughout the book are several excerpts from diaries of explorers (some famous, others more obscure) and other writing about them by fellow travellers. At times, I found this book quite heavy going, although I liked the fact that there was a separate chapter for each ...
