Summary

In "The Princess Nobody: A Tale of Fairyland," Andrew Lang weaves a captivating narrative that blends whimsical fantasy with poignant social commentary. Set in a vibrant fairy realm populated by both fantastical and deeply human characters, the story follows the trials of a princess who feels invisible in her own life. Lang's rich prose, infused with elements of folklore and mythology, employs a style reminiscent of both traditional fairy tales and Victorian literature, leaving readers enchanted by its lyrical quality and moral nuances. This tale is not only a journey through mystical lands but also a reflection on identity and the quest for recognition in an often indifferent world. Andrew Lang, a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic, was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notably known for his work in compiling and popularizing folk and fairy tales, Lang's extensive scholarship in comparative literature and folklore profoundly influenced his creative output. "The Princess Nobody" echoes Lang's belief in the power of storytelling to convey deeper truths about society, identity, and the human condition, likely informed by his own engagements with cultural narratives. Readers are warmly invited to delve into this enchanting tale, which appeals to both children and adults alike. Lang's masterful storytelling invites reflection while delighting in the magical escapades of its characters. "The Princess Nobody" is a profound exploration of self-worth interspersed with humor and tenderness, making it a timeless addition to the canon of fairy literature that deserves a cherished place on any bookshelf.

    Wait...Who Got Goosed? is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes? 
Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.
