Synopsis

The Squire's Young Folk is a masterful tapestry woven by Eleanora H. Stooke, vividly capturing the lives and adventures of the squire's household, particularly through the innocence and curiosity of youth. Stooke employs a rich, descriptive style that immerses readers in the pastoral landscapes and societal norms of early 20th-century England, engaging with themes of class dynamics, familial bonds, and the poignant transition from childhood to adulthood. The narrative flows seamlessly between character development and social commentary, echoing literary giants of the time while maintaining a fresh, localized voice that reflects the author's keen observations of rural life. Eleanora H. Stooke, a prominent figure in British literature, drew from her own experiences growing up in a pastoral setting to craft this delightful coming-of-age story. Her works often reflect a deep understanding of human nature and social structures, perhaps informed by her observations of the decline of the English gentry and changing societal values. Stooke's keen empathy for her characters allows her to explore the intricate relationships within the squire's family, emphasizing the innocence and potential of youth amidst the backdrop of changing times. A perfect blend of charm and profound insight, The Squire's Young Folk is an invaluable read for those interested in early 20th-century English literature. With its rich characterizations and evocative settings, the book invites readers to reflect on their own journeys through adolescence while appreciating the complexities of societal frameworks. Stooke's work is a celebration of youth that is sure to resonate with both young adults and seasoned readers alike.

    A Christmas Dragon tale like no other. 
     
    Keir thinks he knows about bad luck. His Elven mother is dying of a wasting disease. His Human father, severely injured in the war, struggles to walk. A brutal Winterfall clasps his mountainous kingdom in talons of ice. The people are starving. His family, his little sisters, depend on him to see them to Dragonmas Day. 
     
    They need a miracle. But who believes in miracles anymore? 
     
    Long ago, the mighty Dragon Santaclaws rescued Humankind and resettled them in the magical realm of Tyanbran – but Santaclaws and his miracles are gone, and his Dragons disappeared. Now, a stubborn half-Elf must brave blizzards and treacherous trails to bring food to the kingdom, and find winterberry to ease his mother’s suffering. 
     
    What he discovers on this journey will shatter all unbelief. The lightning-born treasure he places beneath his Dragonmas tree changes everything, for wishes are different when it comes to Dragons. 
     
    Wishes take wing, and come true.

Learn about the reasons estivating animals become dormant—whether it's because warm weather threatens food supply or to avoid increased body temperatures. From the ladybug to the salamander, from the lungfish to the desert hedgehog, twelve estivating animals and their habits—both when sleeping and awake—are explained clearly and elegantly.
