Sinopse

The Complete Works of Beatrix Potter represents a remarkable assemblage of literature that intertwines charming narratives with rich illustrations, showcasing Potter's unique ability to convey moral lessons through anthropomorphized animals. The collection encompasses beloved tales such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and "The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck," revealing a stylistic interplay of pastoral realism and whimsical fantasy, all imbued with Victorian sensibilities. This anthology not only celebrates nature's beauty but also reflects the complex social structures of the time, inviting readers into a world where the innocent adventures of animal characters often mirror human experiences. Beatrix Potter, an esteemed author and illustrator born into a wealthy Victorian family, drew upon her naturalist upbringing and deep love for the English countryside to create her literary masterpieces. Potter's profound observations of wildlife and keen understanding of the rural environment significantly shaped her narratives, providing an authentic backdrop for her characters. Her dual role as both a storyteller and artist allowed her to craft a distinctive style that remains influential and beloved across generations. Readers are invited to explore The Complete Works of Beatrix Potter as a literary treasure, ideal for both children and adults. This collection not only serves as an introduction to the enchanting world of Potter'Äôs characters but also offers timeless themes of resilience, curiosity, and respect for nature that resonate with contemporary audiences. It is an essential read for anyone wishing to connect with classic children's literature and appreciate the artistry behind it.

The monkey played a trick to get into her stomachand forced her to give up the palm-leaf fan. However, she gave him a fake one that only fueled the flames. The monkey then transformed into Bull Demon King to get the real fan. Upon hearing the news, Bull Demon King disguised himself as Pigsy to take back the fan, leading to a fight with the monkey. With the help of deities, the monkey finally defeated Bull Demon King, got the fan from Princess Iron Fan and put out the flames.

An empowering and exhilarating look at the girls who went before us, and the way they shaped the world. 
  
Twelve-year-old Ming Qong is convinced that girls must have changed the world, even if they are rarely mentioned in history books.  
So when Ming gets the chance to go back in time, she imagines herself changing destinies from a glittering palace or an explorer's ship. Instead, she ends up in Australia in 1898, living a tough life as Flo Watson on a drought-stricken farm.  
Luckily, Ming is rescued by Flo's Aunt McTavish. Wealthy Aunt McTavish belongs to Louisa Lawson's Suffragist Society, who are desperately and courageously fighting for women's rights. And Ming is determined to get involved, to make a difference.  
But change is never easy, so how can one girl change the world?  
From one of Australia's favourite writers comes an inspiring new series for all the young people who will, one day, change the world.
