In this wise, witty and highly original book, Mr. and Mrs. Priestley record their impressions and opinions after a recent visit to the American Southwest. In the course of their separate excursions, Jacquetta Hawkes took the high road to Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico to explore the ancient culture of the Pueblo, Navaho and Zuni Indians, their arts and crafts and their immemorial rites. J.B. Priestley took the low road to Dallas and Ft. Worth to investigate the glaringly new cities, the material prosperity and the neon-lighted, mass-produced world which exist there--but as Mr. Priestley points out, are not confined to Texas or, for that matter, even to the United States. The differences between these two ways of life--the earliest and the latest on this continent--and the inferences to be drawn from their uneasy coexistence are strikingly presented in this delightful collaboration. In provocative contrast to the modern world which Mr. Priestley describes with wit and candid good humor, are the ancient Indian ceremonies, the desert landscapes, the communities of Santa Fe and Los Alamos of which Miss Hawkes writes vividly and significantly. The authors' purpose, which was to observe man--on the one hand in a primitive society such as still exists in New Mexico, and on the other in the booming technocracy of the mid-twentieth century--is well served by an archaeologist who is also a poet, and a novelist who is as well a student of man as a social animal. Journey Down a Rainbow, made up of the Priestley's spontaneous and frank exchange of ideas and impressions, will give Texans, and their fellow Americans alike, a fresh eye for the Southwest as a source of our prehistoric roots and as the prime example of the modern world in the making. The book is sure to disturb as well as entertain its readers.

New York Times Bestseller Yu-ning thinks her perfect life on Rainbow Island will never end—until a nasty dragon called the Obsidigon returns from beyond the grave. Now her beloved island is in flames, her best friend has been kidnapped, and the island’s Sacred Crystals have been stolen. To make matters worse, she must venture into the dark corners of the world to uncover secrets best ignored, find a weapon thought long destroyed, and recapture seven sacred stones—without being burned to a crisp by a very angry dragon. With the help of her master teacher, Metatron, Yu-ning embarks on a dangerous journey to overcome not only the darkness attacking her home, but also the scars of sadness that mark her own heart. And while most people just see a normal kid, Metatron—and a few other unlikely allies—pledge their lives to the dark-eyed little girl with a magic bow and a crooked grin.

A Rainbow Journey is an inspirational verse of affirmation for a special mentor, relative, or friend, especially members of “The Greatest Generation.” An Elder invites a Protégé on an allegorical trip to a rainbow, imparting a life lesson on each band of the rainbow. Weary at the end of the journey, from his “patience, sacrifice, and perseverance,” the Elder confesses, “I never touched a rainbow.” The protégé responds: “You touched me!” and interprets the meaning of the Rainbow, blessing the Elder for showing him the colors of “Peace, Pardon, and Love!” Watercolor illustrations by Mary T. Bodio beautifully enhance the forty-eight verses. The last illustration is a Full Circle Rainbow, seen only above the clouds from an airplane or high altitude vista.
