Summary of the Story: In this beautiful story, Milo, a friendly and interested little mammoth, went to school for the first time. Milo's educational road was filled with joy, excitement, and a desire to learn, thanks to his mother Mabel's loving support and his teacher Mrs. Hoots's wise guidance. As Milo went through the ups and downs of school, he learned the joy of friendship and the power of community. He made friends with his classmates for life as they explored the forest, played games, and enjoyed the joys of learning. Milo learned about how nature works, the secrets of math, the beauty of art, and the power of a good story through their travels. Milo's desire to learn didn't stop in the classroom. He went into the forest to learn from the forest's living world. He became a good protector of the environment by developing a deep love for the natural world and working to protect it. His adventures and experiences taught him how important it is to care about, respect, and take care of other people and the world. Milo became a role model and teacher to younger mammoths over time because he liked to learn and cared about them. He told them to appreciate their differences, be curious about the world, and try to grow as people. Milo's impact went beyond the forest community. He worked to solve problems all over the world and inspired people to do good things in the world. Milo's story shows us how education can change people, how important friends are, and how important it is to follow our dreams and make a difference. It shows how exciting it is to find something new, how beautiful nature is, and how strong and capable each person is. As the story ends, Milo's memory lives on, inspiring future generations to follow their dreams, learn new things, and show kindness and understanding. Milo, the kind and curious mammoth, is a great reminder that learning is a lifelong adventure and that we can make the world a better, more linked place by loving to learn. How the story started: Milo, a young mammoth, used to live in a place with lots of green plants and tall mountains. Milo was a friendly and curious little giant who loved life more than anyone else. Since he could walk, he couldn't stop wanting to find out more about the world around him. He would walk through the woods, sniffing the air with his little tail. He was excited to find new places and meet new people. His never-ending curiosity had no limits, so he often went to the farthest parts of the land, where he found secret treasures and met animals of all shapes and sizes. Milo loved every chance to learn about and enjoy the beauty of nature, whether it was climbing tall trees or swimming in rivers with clear water. Milo's sixth birthday was coming up, and he was very excited to start school. He was excited about going to school because he knew it would give him access to a whole new world of information and adventures. He couldn't wait to meet other young animals and tell them what he had found. On the morning of his sixth birthday, Milo woke up with a spring in his step. He knew that today was the first day of his learning adventure. He ran over to his parents, swinging his trunk from side to side with joy. Milo yelled to his parents, "Mama and Daddy, today is my first day of school! I can't wait to learn new things and make new friends!" Milo’s parents, Mabel, and Oliver were proud of and loved their son. They had watched him grow into a smart and curious young mammoth, so they knew he was ready for this next step in his life. Mabel got down on her knees and gave Milo a soft kiss. "Oh, my brave little one, we are so proud of you!" she cried. Oliver said in a friendly, deep voice, "You've always been hungry for knowledge, and school will give you even more chances to learn and grow." "Milo, you have a special talent. It's great that you can make friends and find beauty in everything. Keep that talent close to your heart and let it shine at your new school." Milo nodded and listened to what they said. He felt surer of himself when he knew his parents loved and supported him. Milo ran to school with a quick breakfast and a bag full of school supplies. He was excited and eager. As Milo walked through the woods, he couldn't help but notice the sights and sounds around him. The bright colors of the flowers, the soft rustling of the leaves in the wind, and the sweet songs of the birds all seemed to celebrate his great day. Squirrels climbing trees and bunnies hopping through fields seemed to know he was happy and waved to him. Their smiles and words of encouragement sparked his drive, and he ran faster. He finally got to the school, which was a beautiful building among the trees. Its wooden building looked warm and inviting, and the sounds of laughter and activity coming from inside made his heart skip a beat. Milo took a big breath, opened the door, and walked in, excited to start his first day of school. Milo, a small mammoth who was friendly and interested, was about to go on a new journey. He wanted to make a difference in the world of education with his love of travel, natural generosity, and never-ending desire to learn. He didn't know that his first day of school would be the start of a great journey full of learning, friendship, and lots of new things. As Milo's first day of school got closer, his mother, Mabel, was both excited and nervous. As she watched her child grow and get better, she saw how curious he was and how much he loved. Mabel knew that school would give Milo a lot of new opportunities, but she couldn't help being worried. As she held Milo tightly, her big tusks lightly touched his fur. "My dear Milo," she smiled, "today is a very special day for you. It's your first day of school, and I'm so proud of you." Milo looked up at his mother with big, innocent eyes that were full of joy. "I can't wait, Mama," he told her. "I want to learn, explore, and make new friends!" The little girl's words filled Mabel's heart with love. Milo would benefit from being excited, but she couldn't get her mind off of her worries. Milo is a young mammoth, but even for him, the world can be a big and strange place. She said it softly as she moved a few strands of hair out of his face. "Milo, my dear, remember to be brave and kind. School is a place where you'll meet new friends and learn new things. But if you ever feel unsure or scared, know that Mama and Papa are always here for you." Milo nodded, his trunk wiggling with determination. "I'll remember, Mama. I'll be brave and make you proud." Mabel's worry went away when she saw how sure and eager Milo was. She thought he was strong and kind enough to get through anything that came his way. She whispered to him, "I believe in you, my little explorer," and she kissed his face. "Take on this new adventure, and may it bring you joy for the rest of your life." On Milo's first day of school, Mabel got up early to make sure everything was ready for her son. She made him a healthy breakfast, packed his favorite lunchbox in the shape of an acorn, and put new papers and pencils in his new backpack. As they walked hand in hand toward school, Mabel couldn't help but feel sad. Milo had just taken his first wobbly steps, and now he was getting close to this important milestone. As Mabel walked into the playground, she looked around to see what was going on. She saw other young animals, each of which was having its own "first day" experience. Squirrels with tiny backpacks ran by, rabbits hopped around happily, and young foxes chatted. There was a lot of nervousness and excitement in the air. Milo's trunk was firmly squeezed by Mabel. "Look, Milo," she pointed to the other animals and spoke. "You're not alone. There are lots of new friends waiting to meet you. Just be yourself, and it won't take long for you to make friends." Milo's eyes grew wide as he saw all the friendly faces. He took a deep breath, and then his worries started to go away. He tightened his grip on his mother's back, drawing power from her support. "Mama, thank you for believing in me," Milo said softly. Mabel smiled brightly, and her love for Milo could be seen in every part of her body. "You're my precious one, Milo. Your first day of school is just the beginning of an amazing journey. Embrace it with an open heart and remember that your Papa and I are always here for you." Mabel wrapped her arms around Milo as he walked confidently into the schoolyard, his small frame surrounded by a world of possibilities. Mabel couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness as she felt a mix of excitement and worry. Milo was getting older and more capable of taking care of himself every day, she realized. Mabel felt happy and sad as she watched her daughter take her first steps into the bigger world. Milo's first day of school kept coming back to Mabel's mind all day. She pictured him in a classroom with people he didn't know, and she wondered how he was doing. The hours seemed to go on forever, and every minute brought a mix of joy and fear. When school was finally over, Mabel hurried to the playground to pick up Milo. As she got closer, she saw a group of young animals laughing and playing. Milo stood out from the rest because his eyes were shining with happiness. Mabel's heart jumped with relief and joy when she saw Milo get along with his new friends. Every time he talked to someone, his interest and friendliness stood out. It was as if he had changed. Milo had clearly gotten used to his new place and found his place in the busy world of school. Milo ran over as soon as he knew his mother was coming, waving his trunk with joy. He said, "Mama, Mama!" with a big smile on his face. Mabel said, "You won't believe all the amazing things we did today!" Her fears were going away like morning fog. "Tell me everything, my love; I can't wait to hear all about your adventures." As they walked home, Milo was very excited as he told stories about his first day. Mrs. Hoots, the smart owl who taught kids interesting things, was talked about. He talked about what they did during the break, the friends he'd made, and how exciting it was to find something new with his classmates. Mabel listened carefully. She was very proud of her young adventurer. She couldn't believe how well Milo had not only adjusted to his new home, but also done well in it. Her worries were unfounded, and her faith in Milo's toughness paid off.

The books that inspired the wildly popular TV series -- known as the Murdoch Mysteries in Canada and as The Artful Detective in the United States -- are available together for the first time in this seven-volume eBook bundle that brings the crime-ridden world of late-19th-century Toronto alive. "If you want to step back in time . . . let Jennings be your guide. There's really none better." — Ottawa Citizen From his debut in Except the Dying, where he pursued the secrets behind a young, pregnant servant girl's death through brothels and drawing rooms, to his immersion in the Dickensian world of workhouses in Vices of My Blood, and the investigation of his own dark family history in Let Loose the Dogs, Detective William Murdoch has been one of crime fiction's most fascinating and engaging protagonists. These seven riveting novels— inspiration for the internationally popular Murdoch Mysteries television series— blend masterful storytelling, vivid characters, and an extraordinary eye for the rich history of Victorian Toronto to create modern classics; they are must-reads for every mystery lover. "Murdoch's warm heart makes him the right sleuth for this cold city." — New York Times "Vivid . . . heartwrenching." — Publishers Weekly (about Under the Dragon's Tail) "Jennings immerses her readers in the Toronto of the 1890s. The smells, sights, and sounds she describes ring as true as if she were recounting a trip she'd made there last week." — Quill & Quire

Seven young women, all murdered in the most disgusting manner imaginable. Unimaginable, in fact: a first of its kind, and never before explicitly revealed. All the victims were prostitutes. All were dumped naked after having been stored by their killer as sex toys. Some of them were mothers. Each was someone’s daughter. And for more than fifty years the author has lived with the haunting secret that he was once suspected by Scotland Yard of being a serial killer more depraved and dangerous than Jack the Ripper. In the killing-spree that lasted more than a year, the author had a mole deep inside Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad, similar to ‘Deep Throat’ from the Watergate scandal, who was drip-feeding him the step-by-step ploys to snare the monster who brought terror to the streets of West London. Hundreds of policewomen, posing as prostitutes, flooded the red-light districts, hoping to be selected by the killer – more hopeful, though, that the back-up would swoop to the rescue in time. At one point, Scotland Yard feared that a prostitute, missing for more than a fortnight, had become the eighth victim and appealed to the public for help. It took the author just eleven hours to track her down and hand her alive and well to the Murder Squad. When the killings stopped, the most senior member of the Murder Squad claimed that the serial killer had committed suicide and an innocent man was named in a deceitful cover-up. The author fingers the real serial killer, a celebrity and national treasure who died in circumstances arguably even more bizarre than the manner in which he murdered his victims.

DIV This delightful book of writer-to-writer correspondence joins a full shelf of volumes in the genre, yet it is perhaps the first set of such letters ever transacted via the Internet. Also unusual, at least for correspondents in the twenty-first century, is that Frederic Raphael and Joseph Epstein have never met, nor even spoken to each other. But what is most rare about this book is the authors' abundant talent for entertaining their readers, as much when the topic is grave as when it is droll. Raphael and Epstein agree to embark on a year-long correspondence, but other rules are few. As the weeks progress, their friendship grows, and each inspires the other. Almost any topic, large or small, is considered: they write of schooling, parents, wives, children, literary tastes, enmities, delights, and beliefs. They discuss their professional lives as writers, their skills or want of them, respective experiences with editors, producers, and actors, and, in priceless passages scattered throughout the letters, they assess such celebrated figures as Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens, Susan Sontag, Annie Leibowitz, Malcolm Gladwell, Harold Bloom, George Steiner, Harold Pinter, Isaiah Berlin, George Weidenfeld, and Robert Gottlieb, among many others. Epstein and Raphael capture a year in their letters, but more, they invite us into an intimate world where literature, cinema, and art are keys to self-discovery and friendship. /div
