I've been loaded into suitcases and backpacks and tossed into airplane cargo holds for long rides around the world. I've survived windstorms and snowstorms, sandstorms and ocean waves. I know about subways and railways and all ways of travel from place to place. I have seen things from rickshaws, riverboats, canal boats, the back of a donkey and a camel. I've petted an elephant and a cheetah and lived to tell the tale.Stairways into what seemed like the very clouds have been part of almost every adventure!There are so many places to go. So many places to see. I encourage you to go explore. It's a big, big world and it's waiting for you.

A crumbling mansion that has seen much better days; a coded message that may lead to treasure - or may just be gibberish; a middle-aged man with personal demons searching for legendary treasure and his own redemption; a young, fledgling writer looking for a best-selling story idea to fulfill a lifelong dream; and a certain presence, horrible and hidden, lurking around the mansion and its grounds, just waiting for the right moment to strike... These are the elements that comprise The Heidi Code.Hickox House stands as a monument to Duluth's past. One of several mansions built throughout the city at the turn of the twentieth century in this Minnesota port town, Hickox House draws attention for two reasons: the lost treasure supposedly hidden somewhere on its grounds, hinted at by a coded message, and the mysterious, frightening sights and sounds reportedly emanating from the imposing old mansion. Ed Hickox seeks his Aunt Heidi's lost inheritance, while Billy Steele seeks the elusive story idea that the house may inspire. However, they may only find what neither of them sought: the deadly terror awaiting them at Hickox House!

Ogden Nash was the master of humorous poetry. His clever use of language and puns made many of us smile and see each day in a brighter light. While not all of his poetry was light-hearted - he could be somber and address disturbing topics - his writing was mostly joyful and witty. We still quote many of his beloved lines, like 'Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.'This book contains a collection of his largely humorous poems, filled with frequent puns. Occasionally, you may come across a more serious selection that might make you pause and ponder. We hope some of these phrases resonate with you and perhaps stick in your mind for future use. Enjoy the poetry!

In a few years, these negativities defining the world poisoned Dohan's mind, heart and soul... along with his relationship with his family and relatives who are all corrupted by money and high reputation.Will Dohan be able to free himself from the veil of pretension and greed in the society, or will he succumb to the devils of worldly possessions... just like how everybody else did?
