Sinopse

In "Granny's Wonderful Chair & Its Tales of Fairy Times," Frances Browne masterfully weaves a tapestry of enchanting narratives that transport readers into a realm of whimsy and wonder. Published in 1857, the collection introduces a charming array of fairy tales, each accompanied by the titular anthropomorphic chair that serves as a bridge between the mundane and the magical. Browne's lyrical prose is imbued with a captivating simplicity that invites both children and adults to reflect on universal themes of love, kindness, and morality, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with folklore and the didactic qualities of storytelling. Frances Browne herself was a remarkable figure, an Irish poet and novelist who overcame significant adversity, including blindness at a young age. Her unique perspective and deep empathy for the human condition inform her tales, making them rich with emotional depth and moral lessons. Browne's own experiences often echo in her characters' journeys, establishing a heartfelt connection between author and reader that transcends the limitations of her time. This enchanting collection is highly recommended for those who appreciate classic fairy tales with a twist. "Granny's Wonderful Chair" not only entertains but also imparts wisdom, making it a timeless read that will resonate with readers of all ages, encouraging them to embrace the magic that lies in every corner of life.

    From Newbery Medal winner and bestselling author Sharon Creech comes a grand, sweeping yarn that is a celebration of the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness. With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an ""enchanting tale to treasure,"" The Great Unexpected captures the heart and the imagination. 
    Humorous and heartfelt, this is a story of pairs—of young Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in present-day Blackbird Tree, USA, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up sisters from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who have become estranged. 
    Young Naomi Deane is brimming with curiosity and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. She knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. Just like that. A strangely charming Finn boy. And then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy—and soon Naomi and Lizzie find their lives changed forever. 
    As two worlds are woven together, Creech reveals that hearts can be mended and that there is indeed a gossamer thread that connects us all.
