Summary

In "The Children's Tabernacle; Or, Hand-Work and Heart-Work," A. L. O. E. presents a vibrant exploration of the significance of both practical craftsmanship and the moral cultivation of young minds. Blending engaging narratives with hands-on activities, the book encourages children to develop their creativity while emphasizing the importance of ethical values and spirituality. Written in a lucid, accessible style characteristic of Victorian literature, A. L. O. E. intertwines educational themes with storytelling, allowing young readers to experience both tangible skill-building and introspective growth in a faith-based context. A. L. O. E., the pen name of the prolific author Charlotte Mary Yonge, was deeply influenced by her background in a family that valued education, faith, and social reform. Her endeavors in literature often aimed to impart moral lessons while celebrating the joys of childhood. This personal mission undoubtedly plays a crucial role in the creation of "The Children's Tabernacle," as it serves as a guide to help children navigate the intersection of their creative instincts and spiritual growth during a time of rapid social change. This essential work is highly recommended for parents and educators seeking to inspire children in both artistic endeavors and moral development. "The Children's Tabernacle" is not merely a book but a transformative experience that encourages the next generation to embrace the dual importance of hand-work and heart-work in their lives.

    The Eel by Miriam Allen DeFord - The punishment had to fit more than just the crime—it had to suit every world in the Galaxy! 
He was intimately and unfavorably known everywhere in the Galaxy, but with special virulence on eight planets in three different solar systems. He was eagerly sought on each; they all wanted to try him and punish him—in each case, by their own laws and customs. This had been going on for 26 terrestrial years, which means from minus ten to plus 280 in some of the others. The only place that didn't want him was Earth, his native planet, where he was too smart to operate—but, of course, the Galactic Police were looking for him there too, to deliver him to the authorities of the other planets in accordance with the Interplanetary Constitution. 
For all of those years, The Eel (which was his Earth monicker; elsewhere, he was known by names indicating equally squirmy and slimy life-forms) had been gayly going his way, known under a dozen different aliases, turning up suddenly here, there, everywhere, committing his gigantic depredations, and disappearing as quickly and silently when his latest enterprise had succeeded. He specialized in enormous, unprecedented thefts. It was said that he despised stealing anything under the value of 100 million terrestrial units, and most of his thefts were much larger than that. 
He had no recognizable modus operandi, changing his methods with each new crime. He never left a clue. But, in bravado, he signed his name to every job: his monicker flattered him, and after each malefaction the victim—usually a government agency, a giant corporation, or one of the clan enterprises of the smaller planets—would receive a message consisting merely of the impudent depiction of a large wriggling eel.

    Do You Remember Your First Love? 
The butterflies in your stomach, the sleepless nights, and that all-consuming feeling that takes over your entire being. Join Stig as he journeys back to the summer of 1986 and steps into the heart of Malta – and the heart of life itself. A holiday where the bonds between the boys are as strong as the scorching Mediterranean sun, and where love appears like an unexpected wave, washing everything else away. 
This moving tale, based on a true story, invites you into a time and place where everything seemed possible. A time when the golden walls of Mdina held secret whispers, and a young boy’s first encounter with love left an everlasting mark. 
Woven with humor, friendship, and blossoming emotions, this story reminds us that the most important moments in life never fade – they live on within us. 
A book about the magic of youth, the first great love, and a summer never to be forgotten. Get ready to relive your own first crush as you’re swept away by the beauty of Malta and the memories that never fade. 
"Do you remember those holiday crushes? Those moments when you wished time would stand still. Meeting a girl or boy who might have come from a completely different part of the country – or maybe even from abroad. Something that left a lasting impression. These very feelings are at the heart of Stig Ulrichsen’s charming and entertaining new book. It’s the perfect read for a relaxing afternoon at the beach – whether you’re in Malta, Mallorca, or at a campsite in Southern Jutland. A story that leaves the reader in a cheerful mood, perhaps sending you back in time to your own youth." - Jacob Krogsoe 
"A great book – I’m especially impressed by the way you capture the era and the atmosphere so vividly that I can not only feel it, but also reflect parts of my own life in it. It’s quite sensory. And above all, it’s a deeply moving story." – Jan Eriksen
