Sinopsis

In "Under the Mikado's Flag: or, Young Soldiers of Fortune," Edward Stratemeyer crafts an engaging narrative that transports young readers to the tumultuous backdrop of the late 19th-century Pacific. The book fuses adventure and historical context, recounting the exploits of young American soldiers who find themselves embroiled in the complexities of foreign conflicts, specifically during the Sino-Japanese War. Stratemeyer's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions and fast-paced action, reflecting the popular literature trends of the era, which sought to both entertain and educate a young audience about far-flung adventures and moral fortitude. Edward Stratemeyer, known for creating beloved series such as the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, was a prominent figure in children's literature. His upbringing in a dynamic era marked by national expansion and imperial endeavors undoubtedly influenced his fascination with adventure tales set against vibrant cultural tapestries. Stratemeyer's passion for weaving narratives that emphasize bravery and resilience is evident in this work, along with his keen understanding of how to engage young minds with historical themes. This compelling tale is highly recommended for young readers seeking excitement while also gaining insight into historical events and international perspectives. "Under the Mikado's Flag" serves as both a thrilling adventure and an enlightening exploration of the values of courage and loyalty, making it a worthy addition to any young reader's library.

    In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
    If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
    Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
    Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
    A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'
