It also includes those who have written about Saint Lucia and Caribbean writers whose work has influenced the development of Saint Lucian life and literature. It's a bibliography which, in its all-embracing reach (It includes funeral programmes and recipe books), reflects the creative, cultural, political and economic world of this small island.

He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. Although he wrote solely in Greek, mainly Attic Greek, he was ethnically Syrian. Lucian was also one of the earliest novelists in Western civilization. In A True Story, a fictional narrative work written in prose, he parodied some fantastic tales told by Homer in the Odyssey and some feeble fantasies that were popular in his time. He anticipated "modern" fictional themes like voyages to the moon and Venus, extraterrestrial life and wars between planets, nearly two millennia before Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. His novel is widely regarded as an early, if not the earliest science fiction work.

High in the mountains, the Ravencross Hotel has weathered a hundred winters and buried just as many secrets. When guests begin disappearing one by one during a season of relentless snow, investigator Lucian Rook and journalist Elara Quinn are drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond the hotel's walls. As they dig through the building's past, they uncover an old diary detailing a string of unsolved crimes committed decades earlier, and realize that someone inside the hotel is bringing every page of it back to life. Trapped by the storm and running out of names on the guest list, Lucian and Elara must identify the killer before the last chapter of the diary is written in blood.

When archaeologist Dr. Miriam Holt vanishes without a trace from a remote dig site deep in the Arizona desert, investigators Lucian Rook and Elara Quinn are called in to uncover the truth. Holt had spent months excavating an isolated ridge outside a long-abandoned mining town, and colleagues say she made a discovery in her final days that she refused to explain, even to her own team. As Rook and Quinn trace her final movements across sunbaked canyons and forgotten settlements, they find a camp stripped clean, a research journal written in a private code, and a growing list of people who wanted Holt's find kept buried. What begins as a missing-persons case soon widens into a decades-old conspiracy reaching from a defunct university department to a private collector willing to kill for the past. With the desert heat closing in and the truth buried under generations of silence, Rook and Quinn must decide how far they are willing to go to bring Miriam Holt home, and whether the discovery she died protecting is one the world is ready to face.

When a wildfire tears through a remote stretch of Yellowstone National Park, it uncovers something the wilderness has hidden for decades: human remains buried beneath the forest floor. Investigator Lucian Rook and park ranger Elara Quinn are pulled together to identify the victim and unravel a case that was never supposed to see daylight again. As they dig through old records, forgotten names, and the guarded memories of longtime residents, they discover that the fire did not just expose bones. It exposed a truth someone has spent thirty years trying to keep buried.

One of the best written and most amusing treatises of antiquity is Lucian's True History, forming a rather long narrative in two books, which suggested Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Rabelais's Voyage of Pantagruel and Cyrano de Bergerac's Journey to the Moon. It is composed, the author tells us in a brief introduction, not only as a pastime and a diversion from severer studies, but avowedly as a satire on the poets and logographers who had written so many marvellous tales. He names Ctesias and Homer; but Hellanicus and Herodotus appear to have been in his mind. The only true statement in his History, he wittily says, is that it contains nothing but lies from beginning to end. The main purport of the story is to describe a voyage to the moon. He set out, he tells us, with fifty companions, in a well-provisioned ship, from the "Pillars of Hercules," intending to explore the western ocean. After eighty days' rough sailing they came to an island on which they found a Greek inscription, "This was the limit of the expedition of Heracles and Dionysus"; and the visit of the wine-god seemed attested by some miraculous vines which they found there. After leaving the island they were suddenly carried up, ship and all, by a whirlwind into the air, and on the eighth day came in sight of a great round island shining with a bright light, and lying a little above the moon. In a short time they are arrested by a troop of gigantic "horse-vultures" and brought as captives to the "man in the moon," who proves to be Endymion. He is engaged in a war with the inhabitants of the sun, which is ruled by King Phaëthon, the quarrel having arisen from an attempt to colonize the planet Venus (Lucifer). The voyagers are enlisted as "Moonites," and a long description follows of the monsters and flying dragons engaged in the contest. A fight ensues, in which the slaughter is so great that the very clouds are tinged with red (p. 84). The long description of the inhabitants of the moon is extremely droll and original. After descending safely into the sea, the ship is swallowed by a huge "sea serpent" more than 100 miles long. The adventures during the long confinement in the creature's belly are most amusing; but at last they sail out through the chinks between the monster's teeth, and soon find themselves at the "Fortunate Islands." Here they meet with the spirits of heroes and philosophers of antiquity, on whom the author expatiates at some length. The tale comes to an abrupt end with an allusion to Herodotus in the promise that he "will tell the rest in his next books."

Join Lucian on an exciting adventure as he shrinks down and discovers the magical world of creepy crawlies in his own backyard! Along the way, he meets a helpful cricket, dances with a buzzing bee, digs tunnels with an earthworm, and even learns that some bugs love his least favorite vegetable: spinach! This delightful series offers plenty of laughs for young readers while teaching important lessons about the world around us and the value of all creatures, no matter how small.
