Beschreibung

In "Twas the Night before Christmas - A Visit From Saint Nicholas," Clement Moore masterfully weaves a lyrical narrative that has become a cornerstone of American Christmas folklore. This enchanting poem, first published anonymously in 1823, captures the magic of Santa Claus and the spirit of Christmas Eve through its vivid imagery and rhythmic cadence. Moore's use of whimsical adjectives and inventive descriptions transports readers into a snow-draped world, melding a sense of wonder with the warmth of familial love, and solidifying the role of Saint Nicholas in holiday tradition. Clement Moore, a professor of Hebrew and theology at the General Theological Seminary in New York, drew inspiration from his own family's Christmas celebrations to create this beloved work. His background in classical literature and deep understanding of cultural traditions influenced his portrayal of Santa Claus, infusing the character with a jovial spirit that resonated with both children and adults. Moore's contributions to holiday literature extend beyond this poem, reflecting his desire to cultivate a joyful Christmas spirit among families. This beautifully illustrated edition of Moore's classic tale is a timeless treasure, ideal for readers of all ages. It invites a renewed appreciation for the simple joys and magic of the holiday season, making it a perfect addition to any Christmas collection. Whether shared with loved ones or enjoyed in quiet reflection, this poem promises to enchant and inspire.

    YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
    The case of the missing baby. 
    This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
    This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
    The story itself runs to about 7 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
    The story involves the the disappearance of a baby, Albert just 2 months old, from his pram that Nanny Beatrice was responsible for. Albert was the son of the British Ambassador, Sir Eustace Carmichael, who lived in a magnificent Townhouse in Westminster. The baby was found hidden in a wardrobe upstairs to try and distract Sir Eustace. 
    Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, discovers baby Albert and is praised by Sir Eustace as being incredibly astute for his age. 
    The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of age around 6 to 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
    I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    This collection of Christmas nursery rhymes, complete with book cover images, and accompanying opening/closing song and background music, is designed to be a comprehensive and immersive holiday experience for children and families. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to capture the magic, wonder, and diverse traditions of the Christmas season in a format that is both engaging and accessible to young minds, particularly those aged six to eight. 
    The intent behind this collection is multifaceted. First, it seeks to provide a fresh and original source of festive storytelling that goes beyond the classic carols and rhymes. By introducing new characters, such as (in later collections) the Christmas starfish and the caroling mice, alongside beloved figures like Santa Claus and the Nutcracker, the collection aims to spark children's imaginations and create new holiday traditions. The rhymes are crafted to be easily readable and memorable, with rhythmic verses that support early literacy skills and a love for poetry. 
    Furthermore, the collection is designed to be a versatile resource for parents and educators. These shorter rhymes are perfect for recitation and memorization and offer narratives for bedtime stories or classroom reading. The inclusion of opening and closing songs transforms the book into a potential musical or theatrical production, encouraging creative expression and performance.

Heaven and Hell explains how science, art, religion, literature, and psychoactive drugs can expand the reader’s everyday view of reality, offering a more profound grasp of the human experience. 
    Like his earlier essay, The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley’s Heaven and Hell exerted a tremendous influence on the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, inspiring the imaginations of an entire generation of artists and revolutionaries like Jim Morrison and Jackson Pollack.
