Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... 133 CHAPTER VI. THE DONCASTER GAZETTE." H E only four newspapers to which "The Druid" was a regular paid contributor, and on the staff of which he held a permanent position, were the Doncaster Gazette, Bell's Life in London, the Mark Lane Express, and the Sporting Life. That he sent voluntary contributions, for which, in most cases, no payment was asked, to other papers and periodicals (and especially to the Carlisle Journal} is well known to his family. He was also a contributor of verses to other journals, of which he specifically names two -- Punch and The Exa7niner--and in addition he wrote irregularly for the Daily News, though he was never on the staff of that journal, the Editor of which, however, held him in much esteem. I can well remember that when "The Druid's " article on the Marquis of Hastings (who died in 1868) appeared in The Daily News, Mr. Labouchere, who was then the proprietor of nearly half that journal, was so much delighted with the prolusion in question that on hearing of its writer's precarious state of health, he urged Mr. (now Sir J.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hope blooms anew for the Four Lands in this riveting conclusion, not only to the Fall of Shannara series but to the entire Shannara saga—a truly landmark event over forty years in the making! Since he first began the Shannara saga in 1977, Terry Brooks has had a clear idea of how the series should end, and now that moment is at hand. As the Four Lands reels under the Skaar invasion—spearheaded by a warlike people determined to make this land their own—our heroes must decide what they will risk to save the integrity of their home. Even as one group remains to defend the Four Lands, another is undertaking a perilous journey across the sea to the Skaar homeland, carrying with them a new piece of technology that could change the face of the world forever. And yet a third is trapped in a deadly realm from which there may be no escape. Filled with twists and turns and epic feats of derring-do—not untouched by tragedy—this is vintage Terry Brooks, and a fitting end to a saga that has gathered generations of readers into its fold.
