The book : Scarce limited editon of this book – Folklorist Stewart Sanderson and mythologist Marina Warner call Kirk’s collection of supernatural tales one of the most important and significant works on the subject of fairies and second sight. In the late 1680s, Kirk travelled to London to help publish one of the first translations of the Bible into Scottish Gaelic. Gentleman scientist Robert Boyle financed the publication of the Gaelic Bible and pursued inquiries into Kirk’s reports of second sight. Kirk died before he was able to publish The Secret Commonwealth. Legends arose after Kirk’s death saying he had been taken away to fairyland for revealing the secrets of the Good People. Scottish author Walter Scott first published Kirk’s work on fairies more than a century later in 1815. Andrew Lang later gave it the popular title, The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies (1893). Famous author Philip Pullman gave to his second book of his trilogy The Book of Dust the same title “The Secret Commonwealth” because he said that Kirk’s book is one of his favourite books. The author : Robert Kirk (9 December 1644 14 May 1692) was a minister, Gaelic scholar and folklorist, best known for The Secret Commonwealth, a treatise on fairy folklore, witchcraft, ghosts, and second sight, a type of extrasensory perception described as a phenomenon by the people of the Scottish Highlands.

When boxing was bold, bright and glamorous and the fights were the hottest sporting events of the year, Joe Frazier was king as the Heavyweight Champion of the World. From 1970 to 1973 he reigned, and with his career record of 32-4-1 with 27 knockouts and an Olympic gold medal, Frazier leaves little question that he is one of the greatest fighters of all time. Packed with stories that no one outside his family knows (such as the reason he was not drafted for Vietnam, his role in Ali’s reinstatement, his biggest fear), Smokin’ Joe will finally answer all the questions his fans have been wondering about — his thoughts on George Foreman, Don King and Mike Tyson (among others), his training regimen and fight strategies, and much, much more — thereby telling the tale of what it takes to be a champion and a legend. His good-hearted nature and uncanny ability to make you laugh come through as he weaves this story in his colorful style that is personable, funny and a real delight. The perfect gift for Father’s Day, and published to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “The Fight of the Century”, Smokin’ Joe will entertain and enthrall readers with the account of one of America’s strongest treasures.
