The Adventures Of Sebastian

Sebastian is a little horse. Although Sebastian may be small in stature, his imagination is huge! As a matter of fact, Sebastian has found that if he believes in something strongly enough, not only does he convince himself that it is real-but he can convince all of his friends as well. And that...that is when the adventures truly begin!

Sebastian Bold with his group of high school friends contrive to create adventures while ignoring the dangers they face. From stealing a birthday cake to swimming in a dangerous river, to making explosive bombs and taking risky train rides, they challenge life at every turn. Sebastian falls in love with the beautiful Julie, only to be heartbroken when she leaves the country when political tension escalates. Set in the city of Georgetown in British Guiana, just before it became an independent country, this rollicking adventure story takes place over a five-year period.

This book is a snapshot pictorial performance history of what is possibly George Dreyfus's most frequently played composition, "The Adventures of Sebastian the Fox". The music first appeared in 1963 as accompaniment to Tim Burstall's 13-episode children's television series, for which Dreyfus wrote some 120 minutes of music. In 1968 he made a suite consisting of eight of the main musical pieces which he subsequently arranged for a dozen different ensembles, many of which have been recorded. The movements of the Suite are connected by short descriptive narrations, particularly suitable for children. These exist in English, German, Chinese, Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish, indicating the performances the Suite has had throughout the world, within Australia, throughout Europe, and from China to Paraguay. Dreyfus (a bassoon player) has personally used the Suite over the 60 years since it was created as a vehicle for making music with and for young people in a variety of educational situations: in metropolitan, regional and outback Australia, on tours and in residencies in Europe and China.In 2005, Dreyfus and his composer son Jonathan created arrangements, for small ensemble, of the music for four episodes of the original TV series, which were then performed 'live' to film to youth theatre audiences and school groups throughout Australia, in Germany and in Switzerland."The Adventures of Sebastian the Fox" has represented Australian music in many countries, has brought enjoyment to hundreds (if not thousands) of listeners, appeals across generations, and has proved uniquely durable. The photographs capture a selection of many different performance situations. They are at once a celebration of music making and a tribute to the joyous, democratic resourcefulness of the composer.

Life is a breeze for Sebastian’s friends, as they play and swoop for scraps in the sunshine. But not for Sebastian Seagull. He can’t join in because he has trouble with his eyesight. When Sebastian narrowly avoids becoming lunch for a hungry tomcat, his mother sends him off in search of the famed seagull eye specialist Dr. Gladstone. And so begins a series of adventures, as Dr. Gladstone’s magical cure allows Sebastian to help his colony, team up with the lovely policewoman, Jenny Wren, and pit himself against characters such as the thieving crow, Clancy Joe. Will Sebastian be able to foil the prowling rogue, Big Ginger Tom? Can he rescue the missing teddy? And will he be able to solve the mysterious case of the stolen wedding ring? Written in humorous rhyming verse and colourfully illustrated, The Adventures of Sebastian Seagull will appeal to children 3–7 years old as well as to those who are young at heart, and love the shorelines and landmarks of coastal British Columbia, where it is set.

He encounters an odd array of characters- an obese, narcissistic drug-peddling adept, a coke-snorting sex magick dominatrix, a pontificating Freemason with a lisp and many others. But who is responsible for murder? The story is inspired by Newcomb's real-life adventures in actual secret magical societies. This is a look at the true world of magick from the inside.

Bond is back with a license to thrill. Forty-three years ago, Ian Fleming wrote his last great 007 adventure. Now, in Devil May Care, the world's most iconic spy returns in a Cold War story spanning the world's exotic locations. By invitation of the Fleming estate to mark the centenary of his birth, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks picks up where Fleming left off, writing a tour de force that will electrify every James Bond fan. A fitting tribute to the Bond tradition, Devil May Care stands on its own as a triumph of witty prose and plenty of double-0 action. "In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkeling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in the late afternoon, then more martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch, and the snorkeling." —Sebastian Faulks
