Sinossi

In "Tommy Smith's Animals," Edmund Selous crafts a richly detailed narrative that blends natural history with whimsical storytelling. The book presents an imaginative adventure through the eyes of Tommy Smith, a boy whose encounters with animals stir a sense of wonder and invite reflections on nature'Äôs intricacies. Selous employs a lyrical style infused with a sense of childlike curiosity, echoing the Victorian era'Äôs burgeoning interest in zoology and ecology, thus situating the book within a broader literary context that advocates for the appreciation of the natural world. Edmund Selous, a prominent figure in the early environmental movement and a celebrated naturalist, brings his deep love and understanding of wildlife to the page. His experiences in the English countryside, coupled with his observations of animal behavior, undoubtedly shaped his narrative approach. Selous's passion is evident not only in the vivid descriptions of animals but also in the underlying themes of conservation and respect for all living beings, reflecting the ideals prevalent during his life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Tommy Smith's Animals" is a compelling read for anyone who cherishes the bond between humans and nature. This book is not only appealing to children but also serves as a reminder for adults to reconnect with the world around them. By blending adventure with ecological consciousness, Selous invites readers to delve into a charming exploration that will resonate with all ages.

    The gods, heroes, and monsters of Greek mythology come wondrously alive in this second volume of Bernard Evslin’s award-winning series Book two of Bernard Evslin’s extraordinary work opens with the story of Hercules, the strongest man on Earth. Son of a mortal woman and Zeus, feared and hated by Zeus’s wife, Hera, Hercules is condemned to twelve labors in which he must fight the world’s most terrifying monsters. It seems that the world’s mightiest hero may have met his match against the Hydra, a beast with one hundred heads that spew lethal poison. Other tales feature Atlas, the Titan condemned to bear the world on his shoulders; the hideous gorgon Medusa, who turns men to stone; the half-man, half-bull Minotaur; the Sphinx; and many more. Greek myths come to thrilling life in these timeless stories of love and revenge, sorcery and enchantment, in which gods and demigods, mortals, fiends, and demons battle between good and evil. It is a world where bushes become bears, the four winds go to war, and the Nemean Lion and giant crab Cancer strike terror into the hearts of all.
