Beschreibung

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.

    Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino. 
    Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo. 
    One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins. 
    Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight. 
    Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...

An interesting character known as the Tinker Sleep, is introduced towards the end of the book and has been created to personify slumber."The Tinker Sleep" offers a standing invitation to the Child. The Child will learn that if their sleep is interrupted just writing on paper can be helpful. They can use a journal, diary, notebook or pad as a temporary tool to find their way back to sleep. This is story for all times of day but really does fit in nicely with a sleep time routine.The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair perfectly with their presentation. The illustrations offer a view of a possible dream state. The dream state depicted includes rainbows, galaxies, planets and stars. There are hot air balloons, clouds, and stormy skies to capture and keep the Child's attention."The Tinker Sleep" addresses the important issue of a good night's sleep. The idea that paper and pencil can be helpful once awoken from sleep is a theme the author embraces. The Child will enjoy the rhythm of the words and playful ideas of outer space.
