The Untameables

Clare Pollard

Sinossi

Under the bloody rule of King Arthur – as the cruel knights of the round table wage wars and hunt magical creatures – the ordinary people of Camelot are getting sick. Really sick. Something is poisoning the land. No one in Arthur's court seems to care, but a spark of hope remains... The Holy Grail could save them all, and two children embark on a quest to find it.
Shy, gentle Roan, a young dog keeper who works for the knights, is desperate to find a cure for his mum. He befriends Elva, a generous and outspoken kitchenhand with her own reasons for seeking the elusive Grail. Together, can they beat the knights to find it? And will drinking from it save Roan's mum? Beautifully illustrated by Reena Makwana.

Boarding Party

Robert F. Young

Boarding Party by Robert F. Young - The fey Mr. Young continues his scholarly researches in the scientific origins of our myth and legend with this tale of an agile—and avaricious—one-man boarding party. 
(Translator's note: The original of the following report was recently acquired by the Terran Industrial Library through the Interstellar Historical Exchange Society, into whose illustrious fold the member nations of the Terran Economic Bloc have at last been admitted. The narrative is of primary interest to the library officials because it provides unequivocable proof that, long before the Interstellar Economic Community took official cognizance of our existence, several articles of Community Commerce found their way into our culture. To the layman, however, the narrative is of primary interest because it provides an intriguing parallel to a narrative of an altogether different nature.) 
TO: Interstellar Nurseries, Frimm 4 
FROM: Captain of the Greenship Uxurient, Urtz 2 
SUBJECT(S): (1) Why the Uxurient put in to an out-of-bounds system during the Frimm 4-Urtz 2 run; (2) how a boarding party of one gained the greendeck and made off with a Uterium 5 snirk bird, a toy friddlefork, and two containers of yellow trading disks; (3) why the Uxurient's flexible ship-to-ground capillary tube is ten exids shorter than it used to be.

Fiasol and the little lion robbery

Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir

Once upon a time Fíasól was on the go. It started with Mum and sister Bidda going to Copenhagen.
Just the two of them. Pippa was a bit fed up about that, and Fíasól was furious. But then, totally out of the blue, Fíasól and Pippa, together with Grandma Gógó, got to join them.
In Denmark they met Auntie Glóa and her boy, Gutti. They visited Great-aunt Lóló, and stayed with Big Stína, a belly dancer with hardly any teeth. Fíasól lost her beanie in the Tivoli park and Grandma was tricked into having a ride on the Odin Express. After an extremely enjoyable trip they then returned to Iceland.
But of course that’s not the whole story. During the trip some crazy things happened that the family never talks about – Fíasól because she is so embarrassed about it; Grandma, Mum and Glóa because they’re so shocked by what they did; and Pippa, Gutti and Bidda because they still think it was so stupid. The time has definitely come to tell this story.
In order to understand how it all happened, it would be a good idea to check out the travel agreement that they all signed up to, back in Stína’s kitchen.
THE GRAND TRAVEL AGREEMENT
Binding contract relating to recreational trips
During this trip it is totally strictly forbidden to do anything that someone under the age of ten finds boring. Quite the opposite. It is actually every traveller’s duty to do ONLY, JUST AND ABSOLUTELY everything that anyone aged ten or under likes doing best when travelling. Whosoever infringes this Grand Travel Agreement must immediately cease travelling and return home.
This rule to be applied within reason.
Signed: Fíasól, Mum, Gutti, Pippa, Bidda, Grandma Gógó, Auntie Glóa
