"Carrot" Topp tells Uncle Hector about discovering a gold mine in Alaska and invites him to their house. The Highwayman story is set in medieval England during the reign of Charles II, where a masked highwayman operates as a gentleman outlaw caught between duty to his king and his own moral code. In the Marco Polo sequence, the legendary explorer and his slaves journey across desolate landscapes in search of the legendary city of Cathay, which they are told is merely a dream.
When the Mississippi River freezes solid and threatens to ruin Minnesota's loggers, the legendary Paul Bunyan arrives with his blue ox Babe to save the day—but a rival crew from Wisconsin complicates his mission. With the help of his enormous strength and some unconventional problem-solving, Paul works to ensure fair competition and get the logs to market, all while dealing with unexpected complications along the way.
When Carrot Topp learns that Jane Tucker only has eyes for successful businessmen, he decides to make his fortune in the used airplane trade—with a crucial $2,000 loan from his visiting Uncle Hector. But Carrot's grand scheme hits some turbulent skies when his inventory of bargain planes proves a little too well-used, and his desperate customers seem less interested in flying than in surviving the maiden voyage. A humor-filled romp through commerce gone awry, "A Wizard of High Finance" shows what happens when ambition meets a fleet of flying jalopy specials.
In turbulent 1645 England, the dispossessed Sir Guy Blanding becomes a masked highway robber, striking at the Roundheads who seized his estate—all while hiding his identity from the spirited Patricia, who despises his apparent cowardice. When Guy's secret is revealed and he's forced to flee to London, he joins forces with another outlaw legend to broker a dangerous deal with the exiled King Charles II, only to find treachery waiting at every turn. Can Guy outrun both the law and his own past long enough to restore the crown and win Patricia's hand?
When Marco Polo is captured by Barbary pirates on his return voyage to Venice, he passes the grueling hours at the oar by regaling his fellow slaves with tales of his extraordinary travels through the Far East—stories so fantastic that few believe him. Eventually ransomed and brought to the court of the great Kublai Khan himself, Marco finds his gift for storytelling tested anew as he navigates the splendor and intrigue of Cathay, from the Khan's search for the secret of eternal life to his own desperate improvisation when asked to present gifts he no longer possesses.
