presents: Awesome Mysteries Youve Never Heard Of Green Children In the 12th century near Suffolk, England local farmers made a remarkable discovery: a boy and a girl weeping in a field... both with green skin. The children spoke no English and refused to eat food. They both wore oddly-colored clothing that appeared to be metallic.

Free Classic AudioBooks. Digital narration for the 21st Century More Lessons From Marilyn Top 10 Best Novels of the Last 20 Years Books The ten novels on this list all substantiate the belief that books are the most elastic, introspective, human and entertaining form of media that exist. Not movies, not music, not art, not the theatre. A famous author once said that novels are the best way for two human beings to connect with each other.
