Mr. Hancock's Signature Review
The dead appear to walk in Monteray.
Mr. Hancock s body has returned home via train in a small, flat-land town. No one awaits its arrival, and the name has become near forgotten.
Young Ian Washington remembers Mr. Hancock, seeing the man briefly one night as a boy visiting country tombstones, a night which stands out more than any memory of his uprooted youth. For amidst those headstones, he witnessed a deep, black stone shine and heard a hum which still resonates at times when he closes his eyes.
Convinced the stranger s body deserves its peace in that family cemetery, Ian takes it upon himself to discover a way to return Mr. Hancock home. Before he learns how, a strange thief drags Mr. Hancock s body during a week s worth of mornings to locations that define Monteray s history: the renovated bed and breakfast, the burned ruins of the town s movie theater, the lone smokestack doomed to be knocked to the earth.
Suspicions rise that the dragging is more than a typical vandal s handiwork, unsettling a populace unprepared for dark rumors that threaten their sense of peace. Thus with the aid of a funeral proprietor and a notorious drunk turned preacher, Ian Washington chases Mr. Hancock s trail hoping to give the body rest before the town s growing unease leads to more than fearful whispers.
The more they uncover, the more they begin to doubt that mortal man works behind Mr. Hancock s plight.
While meanwhile each night, Mr. Hancock s body lays silent and helpless while events drag it into the stinging light of day.
Mr. Hancock s Signature is the debut novel of Brian S. Wheeler. Set in the fictional county of Monteray, Mr. Hancock s Signature illuminates how the winds that blow unimpeded through the flatlands bring magic and hope into the lives of characters seeking second chances and redemption. Brian S. Wheeler lives in Illinois, and the people, geography and places of the rural setting inspire his work.
English Fairy Tales (Webster's Japanese Thesaurus Edition) Review
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Japanese thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of English Fairy Tales. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Japanese-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Japanese, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Japanese-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Japanese or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests. TOEFL®, TOEIC®, AP® and Advanced Placement® are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site.
