Cautionary Tales for Children

Basil Temple Blackwood

Sinopsis

Basil Temple Blackwood's 'Cautionary Tales for Children' is a collection of darkly humorous and cautionary poems written in a style reminiscent of traditional nursery rhymes. The book serves as a satirical commentary on the moral lessons often taught to children through popular literature, using exaggerated scenarios and macabre humor to drive home its messages. Blackwood's use of simple language and playful rhymes adds to the deceptive innocence of the tales, making them all the more shocking and thought-provoking. This work can be seen as a subversion of the established literary norms of children's literature, challenging readers to reconsider the purpose and effectiveness of traditional moralizing in storytelling. 'Cautionary Tales for Children' is a unique contribution to the genre, blending dark humor with moral instruction in a way that is both entertaining and unsettling. It is a must-read for those interested in exploring the boundaries of children's literature and the power of storytelling to educate and provoke thought.

Girl Brownies The - Ashdown...

Christopher Allen

THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919
Book 5 of 6 The Ashdown Forest Festival
The summary of this fifth book in the series is as follows:
The Girl Brownies prepare to perform their lantern adventure at Ashdown's first post-war Peace Festival. When their prized replica lantern disappears hours before the show, they spring into action - following muddy footprints (child-sized!), interrogating the village prankster, and ultimately discovering the lantern was mistakenly taken by historian Mr. Finch for his exhibit. After retrieving it, their performance becomes the festival highlight, blending storytelling with their real-life mystery-solving.
The adventure continues when Mr. Finch invites them to examine his museum's authentic lantern collection, hinting at future discoveries. Through the festival's celebrations, the girls witness their community healing from war while cementing their reputation as Ashdown's cleverest young detectives.
The initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel.
The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

Water And Man An Inseparable Pair

Patrizia Luraschi

Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.
