Sinopse

In 'The Fairy Books of All Colours - Complete Series,' Andrew Lang masterfully compiles a rich tapestry of folktales and fairy tales that transcend cultural boundaries. This collection, known for its vibrant illustrations and enchanting narratives, is woven together with Lang's signature prose style—lyrical yet accessible. Each volume gleans from various traditions, including European, African, and Asian stories, presenting timeless archetypes and moral lessons while highlighting the interconnectedness of human experience. Lang's work serves as a significant contribution to the genre of children's literature, contextualizing narratives that not only entertain but also educate readers about the cultural heritage of storytelling. Andrew Lang, a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic, was deeply influenced by his early exposure to folklore during his studies at the University of Glasgow and his travels throughout Europe. His scholarly curiosity and passion for myths and legends inspired him to collect and reinterpret these tales, making them accessible to a Victorian audience that was beginning to value children's literature. Lang's work reflects an era that saw a resurgence of interest in folklore, illuminated by Lang's tireless efforts to preserve and celebrate the tales that might otherwise have been forgotten. For readers of all ages, 'The Fairy Books of All Colours' offers a delightful journey into the world of fantasy and moral introspection. By engaging with these stories, readers not only partake in the joys of wondrous adventures but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for the inherent values and lessons embedded within them. This comprehensive series is an essential addition to any literary collection, inviting both young and old to revisit the transformative power of storytelling.

The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Simak - The castaway was a wanted man—but he didn't know how badly he was wanted! 
If Cheviot Sherwood ever had believed in miracles, he believed in them no longer. He had no illusions now. He knew exactly what he faced. 
His life would come to an end on this uninhabited backwoods planet and there'd be none to mourn him, none to know. Not, he thought, that there would be any mourners, under any circumstance. Although there were those who would be glad to see him, who would come running if they knew where he might be found. 
These were people, very definitely, that Sherwood had no desire to see. 
His great, one might say his overwhelming, desire not to see them could account in part for his present situation, since he had taken off from the last planet of record without filing flight plans and lacking clearance. 
Since no one knew where he might have headed and since his radio was junk, there was no likelihood at all that anyone would find him—even if they looked, which would be a matter of some doubt. Probably the most that anyone would do would be to send out messages to other planets to place authorities on the alert for him.
