Synopsis

There were formerly a King and a Queen, who were so sorry that they had no children, so sorry that it cannot be expressed. They went to all the waters in the world; vows, pilgrimages, all ways were tried and all to no purpose.

At last, however, the Queen proved with child, and was brought to bed of a daughter. There was a very fine christening; and the Princess had for her godmothers all the Fairies they could find in the whole kingdom (they found seven), that every one of them might give her a gift, as was the custom of Fairies in those days, and that by this means the Princess might have all the perfections imaginable.

After the ceremonies of the christening were over, all the company returned to the King's palace, where was prepared a great feast for the Fairies. There was placed before every one of them a magnificent cover with a case of massive gold, wherein were a spoon, knife and fork, all of pure gold set with diamonds and rubies. But as they were all sitting down at table, they saw come into the hall a very old Fairy whom they had not invited, because it was above fifty years since she had been out of a certain tower, and she was believed to be either dead or inchanted.

The King ordered her a cover, but could not furnish her with a case of gold as the others, because they had seven only made for the seven Fairies.

    The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley - Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: "For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right —for a while! 
    Mr. Morcheck awoke with a sour taste in his mouth and a laugh ringing in his ears. It was George Owen-Clark’s laugh, the last thing he remembered from the Triad-Morgan party. And what a party it had been! All Earth had been celebrating the turn of the century. The year Three Thousand! Peace and prosperity to all, and happy life... 
    “How happy is your life?” Owen-Clark had asked, grinning slyly, more than a little drunk. “I mean, how is life with your sweet wife?” That had been unpleasant. Everyone knew that Owen-Clark was a Primitivist, but what right had he to rub people’s noses in it? Just because he had married a Primitive Woman. . . . 
    “I love my wife,” Morcheck had said stoutly. “And she’s a hell of a lot nicer and more responsive than that bundle of neuroses you call your wife.” But of course, you can’t get under the thick hide of a Primitivist. Primitivists love the faults in their women as much as their virtues — more, perhaps.

    In Enemies, Marian Isabel Hurrell crafts a tender, thoughtful children’s novel that explores the complexities of conflict, pride, and reconciliation through the innocent lens of childhood. Set in early 20th-century England, the story centers around the Rose family—Mrs. Rose and her four children: Hugh, Frank, Ronald, and Elsie—as they adjust to a life shaped by estrangement from their grandfather, Sir Matthew Rose. 
    When their more privileged cousins, the Wilfrid Roses, move in next door, tensions rise, and a spirited rivalry begins. Dubbed the "Wars of the Roses," the children's playful battles soon take on deeper emotional weight. As the two families clash, the children confront their own assumptions, loyalties, and longing for connection. Through moments of mischief, misunderstanding, and gentle revelations, they learn that love, forgiveness, and empathy can heal even the most stubborn rifts. 
    Perfect for listeners of classic children’s literature, Enemies is a heartwarming tale about bridging divides and the quiet heroism of learning to make peace.

    The central thread of this thought-provoking book revolves around the challenge of maintaining both our collective and individual focus amid the constant and disorienting changes we are experiencing. Are we still capable of understanding the world we’ve created? 
    In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari analyzes the current and future challenges facing humanity. Unlike Sapiens, which focuses on the history of humankind, and Homo Deus, which speculates about the distant future, this book addresses the immediate present. Harari explores how technology, artificial intelligence, global politics, and human identity are evolving in the 21st century. 
    He argues that traditional narratives that once guided humanity—such as liberalism, religion, and nationalism—are being undermined by technological acceleration and globalization. 
    Harari offers a call for reflection in an uncertain world. Rather than seeking answers in traditional ideologies, humanity must cultivate a flexible mindset, promote global cooperation, and remain open to change.
