Listed by Abraham Lincoln, alongside the Bible and Pilgrim''s Progress, as one of the books that most influenced his life, few true tales of adventure and survival are as astonishing as this one. Shipwrecked off the western coast of North Africa in August of 1815, James Riley and his crew had no idea of the trials awaiting them as they gathered their beached belongings. They would be captured by a band of nomadic Arabs, herded across the Sahara Desert, beaten, forced to witness astounding brutalities, sold into slavery, and starved. Riley watched most of his crew die one by one, killed off by cruelty or caprice, as his own weight dropped from 240 pounds to a mere 90 at his rescue. First published in 1817, this dramatic saga soon became a national bestseller with over a million copies sold. Even today, it is rare to find a narrative that illuminates the degradations of slave existence with such brutal honesty.

An Authentic Narrative of the Loss of the American Brig "Commerce" by James Riley A Journal, Comprising an Account of the Loss of the Brig "Commerce", of Hartford, (Con.) James Riley, Master by Archibald Robbins A great American naval adventure of the early nineteenth century The year 1815 was a momentous one. On the muddy slopes of Waterloo in Belgium Napoleon, who had set Europe ablaze for two decades, was brought to ruin. Across the Atlantic the United States of America had concluded its war with Britain having ended the conflict with a famous victory at New Orleans. Meanwhile in the eastern Atlantic an American merchant vessel and its crew underwent a drama which, although it was not significant to the world at large, would mean catastrophe, slavery and death for some of them. The brig Commerce out of Connecticut was sailing between Gibraltar and the Cape Verde Islands on a trading voyage when she ran aground on Cape Bojador off the coast of the Western Sahara desert. The ship and crew were attacked by local tribesmen of the Sahrawi. One man was killed and the rest of the crew, after terrible ordeals, were captured by Bedouin tribesmen. They suffered constant brutality at the hands of their captors as they were force marched through the desolate landscape and suffered dehydration and starvation before their eventual liberation. This Leonaur edition contains two accounts by crew members including one by the ship''s master, James Riley. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States cited Riley''s book as one as the most significant and inspirational books he read as a youth. Indeed, Riley''s account was a phenomenal bestseller in America at the time of its first publication selling over 1,000,000 copies. The second account here is by Archibald Robbins and is included to give readers a perspective on the incident from by one of the ship''s able seamen. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Storybook characters collide in this trilogy of twisted fairy tales from New York Times bestselling author James Riley, set in the world of his popular Half Upon a Time series and now together in one paperback boxed set! Five and a half feet might seem pretty tall for a twelve-year-old, but it’s quite small when your parents are giants. As a human-sized giant in a world where humans and giants hate each other, Lena has never felt accepted for who she is. But when she runs away to the Cursed City hoping to find a place to belong among its enchanted inhabitants, she instead finds an even bigger problem. The Golden King and his Faceless army are spreading shadow magic across land, and his next target is the Cursed City. If the Last Knight is defeated, the only ones standing in the way of the king’s conquest will be Lena, her talking cat Rufus, new genie-in-training (with a questionable moral compass) Jin, and an arrogant prince who’s tiny even by human standards. But the Golden King isn’t the only danger in the land, and the history behind the shadow magic is darker than anyone knows. Lena’s giant-sized strength makes her the perfect person to face these challenges. But it takes strength of a different kind to tell right from wrong and stay true to yourself in the process. If she makes the wrong choice, that could mean the end of Happily Ever Afters for the entire fairy tale world! This paperback hardcover boxed set includes: Once Upon Another Time Tall Tales Happily Ever After
