Sinopsis

In Edith Nesbit's enchanting novella, "Wet Magic," readers are transported to a world where the boundaries of reality dissolve into the fluidity of dreams and adventures. Written in 1913, this charming tale intertwines elements of fantasy and children's literature, showcasing Nesbit's characteristic blend of whimsy and social commentary. The story follows a group of children who, upon discovering a mysterious underwater world, are thrust into a series of magical escapades that challenge their perceptions of the ordinary and the extraordinary. With lush prose and vivid imagery, Nesbit engages both young and adult audiences, evoking the joy of imagination and the complexities of friendship. Edith Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children's literature, was known for her innovative storytelling and relatable characters. Her own childhood experiences, marked by a fascination with nature and the mythical, undoubtedly influenced her writing.

"Wet Magic" is a timeless adventure that not only entertains but also invites readers to explore the unfathomable depths of their imaginations. This novella is highly recommended for those young at heart and those seeking to revisit the joys of childhood fantasies, beautifully illustrating Nesbit's legacy as one of the genre's most loved authors.

God gave Noah the dimensions of the Ark, told him what kind of material to use "gopherwood" He gave Noah complete instruction. God told Noah it is going to rain and water will the earth. Noah and his sons began to build the Ark, Noah was 500 years old when he began, and 600 years old when he finished it, it took Noah and his sons 100 years to build the Ark. When it was finished God sent the Animals 2x2 Male and female, then Noah and his family entered the Ark, God shut the door and sealed it, then it began to rain, 40 days and 40 nights, water filled the Earth, 150 days the water began to go down, it landed on a Mountain called Ararat, which is in Turkey.

Superhero Bedtime Stories for...

Natalia Shriver

What if I told you there was a way to make your child actually excited about bedtime? Not just willing to go to bed, but literally bouncing with anticipation for lights-out?
These aren't ordinary superhero stories. While other kids' heroes are busy punching bad guys and blowing things up, our heroes are doing something far more powerful - they're showing your child that they already possess the most incredible superpowers on Earth.
Imagine your little one discovering that talking to animals isn't just fantasy when they meet Thunder Paws, the golden retriever who speaks seventeen animal languages and reunites lost pets with crying families. Picture their amazement when they realize that being small actually makes you MORE powerful, not less, through Tiny Knight's incredible adventures. Watch their eyes widen as the Coral Guardian teaches them that protecting our planet isn't just important, it's heroic.
But here's what makes these stories absolutely magical - every hero your child meets is facing the exact same challenges they face every day. Scared about starting something new? We have a hero for that. Feeling too different to fit in? Our characters have been there. Worried they're not strong enough or brave enough or smart enough? These stories will completely change how your child sees themselves.
Each adventure is carefully crafted to begin with pulse-pounding excitement that captures even the most restless imagination, then gradually transform into the most soothing, confidence-building experience that melts away every worry and fear. Your child will drift off to sleep feeling like they can conquer the world, because they've just learned they actually can.
This collection will become the most treasured part of your family's routine. No more bedtime battles. No more "I can't sleep." Just pure wonder, valuable lessons, and the sweetest dreams imaginable.

Heroine's Journey (With Anne...

Star, Niina Niskanen

What an amazing episode! My guest Star is here to talk to us about the "heroine's journey". The heroine's journey came about in 1990 when Maureen Murdock, a psychologist published a book called The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness. 
My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us?
