Summary

In "Tom Tufton's Travels," Evelyn Everett-Green adeptly weaves a tale that combines adventure with moral instruction, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century children's literature. The narrative follows the protagonist, Tom Tufton, on a series of explorations that not only illuminate the landscapes of the British countryside but also delve into themes of curiosity, courage, and personal growth. Written in an engaging, accessible style, the book reflects the Victorian influences of its time, marked by lush descriptions and a didactic undercurrent that seeks to instill ethical values in young readers, set against a backdrop of adventure and exploration. Evelyn Everett-Green, an accomplished author of children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences and the culture of her era. Growing up during a time when travel literature flourished, her passion for storytelling was complemented by her keen understanding of childhood psychology and the importance of moral teachings in formative years. This background, combined with her own travels and educational pursuits, inspired her to create vibrant characters and captivating plots that resonate with young minds. "Tom Tufton's Travels" is a must-read for those seeking to introduce children to the joys of reading and the wonders of the world.

    Most people only consider the Mississippi River when they cross it or when it inconveniently abandons its banks. But every year, millions of tons of cargo are transported by towboats on the river. In Peep Light, Captain Lee Hendrix provides unique insight on people who work and live on and near the Mississippi River. Hendrix, formerly a pilot for the Delta Queen Steamboat Co., has worked on the Mississippi for fifty years. In 2014, Hendrix became captain of the towboat Mississippi with the US Army Corps of Engineers, then he later retired to return to passenger vessels. For Hendrix and others like him, he is at home on the river, living and dining with the same people they work with, working with familiar faces for years at a time and yet meeting new people every day. 
 
 
 
Demonstrating a fascination not only with the river but also with the passions and dreams of those who live and work on it, these stories range from personal reflections on aging, experiencing one's first night on the river and the complex emotions that come with it, working on the deck, promotion to pilot, the characters working aboard these boats, and the history of the river itself. Peep Light unites humans with the river through engaging storytelling and sheds light on Hendrix's rare experience along one of the most powerful and important waterways in the world.

    The Benin Empire, one of the most powerful and influential kingdoms in West Africa, flourished for over 1,000 years. Its capital, Benin City, located in present-day southern Nigeria, was an epicenter of art, culture, and political power. The empire’s historical significance extends beyond its impressive architectural feats, remarkable artistry, and military prowess, as it was also a hub of trade and diplomacy. 
The origins of the Benin Empire can be traced back to the early 11th century, with a history deeply intertwined with the Kingdom of Ife, from which the Benin people are believed to have descended. The development of the kingdom was largely shaped by its early rulers, the Obas, whose leadership and vision helped lay the foundation for the Benin Empire. The Benin monarchy, a vital institution in the kingdom, solidified the rule of the Obas and their divine connection to the people. 
At its peak, the Benin Empire extended its influence over a vast region in West Africa, establishing a complex political and social structure. The monarchy not only commanded political and military power but also served as a central force in religious and cultural life. The empire was renowned for its rich heritage in art, including the world-famous Benin Bronzes, which showcased the advanced craftsmanship and symbolic significance of Benin artisans. These bronzes, intricate sculptures, and plaques, which depicted scenes of royalty, warriors, and historical events, remain symbols of the empire’s grandeur.
