The Children's Tabernacle; Or Hand-Work and Heart-Work - Guiding Children Through Hands-On Learning and Moral Growth

E. A. L. O.

Sinopse

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.

Mallory Vayle and the Curse of...

Martin Howard

Super funny, super spooky MG for budding horror fans about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training - perfect for Lemony Snicket readers!

Mallory Vayle would list her interests as being normal, books about ponies and very definitely NOT talking to dead people. But when her parents' carriage takes a leap off Gibbett Bridge - an accident for which there appears to be no explanation - she is taken in by a strange aunt the family disowned years ago and brought to her new, and very spooky, home. Aunt Lilith, a charlatan psychic, is quick to monetise Mallory's prodigious skills in talking to dead people and starts to advertise grand seances (ticketed obvs) in her spiritual news sheet.

The ghosts of her parents also take up residence in the house but are cruelly snatched away by the shadow of Hellysh Spatzl, the grimmest, wickedest necromancer in all of history. To get them back, Mallory will have to learn how to use the talents she hates and raise the old hag from the dead. Her teacher? A talking skull called Maggoty, who wants some favours in return for his help - not just a gorgeous blond wig and some sparkly earrings, but for Mallory to break the curse that has left his spirit locked inside his own skull for 500 years.

Mallory will have to lean into who she is and what she can do and make a pact with the evil Hellysh Spatzl to get her parents back while at the same time putting on a sensational Halloween spectacular at only five shillings a head for an amazed audience at Nightmare Castle. And learn to love her chatty sidekick and his glorious wig...

As darkly hilarious as The Addams Family, this is really good fun. An alternative spooky Victoriana packed with laughs and outrageous characters, at its heart, it's a story of a young girl coming to terms with her own gifts and accepting that nobody is 'normal'.

Tom Tom the Piper's Son - Tom...

L. Frank Baum

"Tom, Tom, the piper's son, 
Stole a pig and away he run; 
The pig was eat and Tom was beat 
And Tom ran crying down the street." Why did Tom steal that pig? Was he a bad boy? Not according to the story behind this rhyme. Tom was the only son of a good for nothing man who could only play the pipes and that very badly. Little Tom was forced to steal food for his father and himself as they travelled around the country. Was he beaten? oh yes, he was and very soundly by the owner of the little pig that he stole. But he learned his lesson and became a good citizen from then on. Listen to this tale and get a chuckle now and then because it is very droll.
