![]() At the end of Fred Barber's quest lay a shattering revelation. And, as the adventure continued, somehow it darkened and became more seriousness. Danger, seduction and magic lay all around him. Through the fields and forests he went, meeting dryads and sprites, ogres and two-headed eagles, on the way. He was given a magic wand - but not told how to use it. ![]() He had to penetrate the Kobold Hills, where it was said that swords were being made, and discover if an ancient enemy had returned. ![]() This made the mssion with which he was entrusted, as the price of his return to the normal world, even harder than he expected. The natural - or supernatural - laws there were, to say the least of it, distinctly odd. At the Court of King Oberon, to be precise. Barber found himself in an Old English Fairyland. ![]() So he had only himself to blame if the fairies got a bit muddled. He swapped the milk for a stiff dose of Scotch. Unfortunately - or fortunately - Fred Barber, an American diplomat convalescing in Yorkshire, didn't take the obligation with proper seriousness. On Midsummer's Eve, as everybody knows, you should leave a bowl of milk out for the fairies. ![]()

The Goths first destroyed a Roman army at the battle of Hadrianople in 378, and went on to sack Rome in 410. This prompted two generations of struggle, during which new barbarian coalitions, formed in response to Roman hostility, brought the Roman west to its knees. He shows first how the Huns overturned the existing strategic balance of power on Rome's European frontiers, to force the Goths and others to seek refuge inside the Empire. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Peter Heather proposes a stunning new solution: Centuries of imperialism turned the neighbors Rome called barbarians into an enemy capable of dismantling an Empire that had dominated their lives for so long.Ī leading authority on the late Roman Empire and on the barbarians, Heather relates the extraordinary story of how Europe's barbarians, transformed by centuries of contact with Rome on every possible level, eventually pulled the empire apart.

Often, you’ll find vengeance in the small things, the ones that seem inconsequential. It sounds like it should be associated with justice, but they’re nothing alike.
