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.

    Amelia Earhart's famous aviator goggles go missing and eleven-year-old Millie has to find them before the night is over in this girl-powered middle grade mystery. 
 
 
 
Eleven-year-old Amelia Ashford—Millie to her friends (if she had any, that is)—doesn't realize just how much adventure awaits her when she's given the opportunity of a lifetime: to spend the night in Amelia Earhart's childhood home with five other girls. Make that five strangers. But Millie's mom is a pilot like the famous Amelia, and Millie would love to have something to write to her about . . . if only she had her address. 
 
 
 
Once at Amelia's house in Atchison, Kansas, Millie stumbles upon a display of Amelia's famous flight goggles. She can't believe her good luck, since they're about to be relocated to a fancy museum in Washington, DC. But her luck changes quickly when the goggles disappear, and Millie was the last to see them. Soon, fingers are pointing in all directions, and someone falls strangely ill. Suddenly, a fun night of scavenger hunts and sweets takes a nosedive and the girls aren't sure who to trust. With a blizzard raging outside and a house full of suspects, the girls have no choice but to band together. It's up to the Amelia Six to find the culprit and return the goggles to their rightful place. Or the next body to collapse could be one of theirs.

    This book is a kind of journey which explores the love tradition across ages. Starting from the Petrarchan society where lover and the beloved were treated differently. It was a kind of master slave relationship. Beloved was treated like a star and the lover used to follow the star. Vidyapati was a kind of poet who was far ahead of his contemporaries and in his poems we can find different elements of love. This book presents a comparison of love tradition of Vidyapati and few British Poets. Love has always been a serious concern for poets. John Donne is a metaphysical poet who thinks that divinity and purity associated with love can be expressed only through the body whereas Shakespeare acknowledges that his mistress is not so beautiful like rose yet he loves her. His degree of love varies as if he has some metres to measure the intensity of love. This is one of the reasons that he is scared to reveal his relationship with his friend in public. Vidyapati understand such concerns and he has defined purely the tradition of love which will never ever end. He is a poet of fourteenth century but still today he is celebrated in different parts of India and abroad. This book opens the spirituality associated with love.
