Higgledy-Piggledy - or Stories for Everybody and Everybody's Children (illustrated)

Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen

Sinossi

Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen presents us with his usual Christmas contribution in the shape of six stories in a volume bearing the title of ‘Higgledy-Piggledy.’ In the ‘Crone of Charing’ we have a real witch of the older kind who victimizes an honest carrier, puts life into milestones and sign-posts, scoffs at Justices of the Peace, and despises constables. ‘The Squirrel and the Hedgehog’ is a tale of woodland life, whilst ‘The Pig of Cheriton’ relates the adventures of a camel who was captured by fairies, and only released (under the directions of the pig) by certain difficult and curious methods, one of which required the silence of a respectable female for a longer period than females (respectable or not) are won’t to remain silent. In ‘The Mermaid’s Boy’ a lost prince receives a marine education at the hands of the sisters of the sea; and in ‘Prince Merimel,’ the ‘Faun of the Capitol’ and other statues, appear in a totally new character. The last tale is ‘Billy’s Story,’ which may be left to speak for itself. Includes nine illustrations from original images by Richard Doyle engraved on wood by G. Pearson. —Notes on Books, 1875

Windswept

Margi Preus

In Tag’s world, children are disappearing. “Youngers” who venture Outside are windswept—vanishing in the swirling snow—Tag’s sisters among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed. And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it that way. 
 
Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts—including a book of fairy tales. 
 
An unlikely crew of Youngers joins forces: Boots, who can climb anything; Ant, who will eat anything; Ren, who will say anything; and Tag, who doesn’t appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept “that’s impossible,” they set off to  
rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy from Margi Preus.
