Adventure awaits
I too sat down, laying the spear between us, and tried to explain how I came to Pellucidar, and wherefrom, but it was as impossible for him to grasp or believe the strange tale I told him as I fear it is for you upon the outer crust to believe in the existence of the…

Hand over the Tomatoes
In Rio State, Saint George’s day is much more of a celebration than it is back in English-speaking countries. Here in the city of Rio, Tuesday was a day off work. So, in true Carioca fashion the Monday also becomes a day off; they call it the bridge day. Whether this is the case for…
