Sinopse

In Frances Hodgson Burnett's timeless classic, "The Secret Garden (Illustrated Edition)," readers are invited into a lush, transformative world where healing and rejuvenation unfold. The narrative follows the journey of Mary Lennox, a neglected and sour child who, after the death of her parents, discovers a hidden garden at her uncle's estate. Through evocative prose and rich imagery, Burnett weaves themes of friendship, the restorative power of nature, and the potential for personal growth. The illustrated edition enhances the experience, enriching the text with visual representations that evoke the mysterious beauty and enchantment of the secret garden itself. Frances Hodgson Burnett, an esteemed author of children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences of loss, displacement, and the yearning for connection. Born in England and later moving to America, Burnett carried the weight of her childhood struggles into her writing. Her understanding of healing through nature and companionship is vividly manifested in this enchanting tale, reflecting her belief in the resilience of children and the importance of nurturing environments. I highly recommend "The Secret Garden (Illustrated Edition)" to readers of all ages. Its profound messages about regeneration, love, and the interplay between nature and mental well-being resonate with contemporary audiences, making it not only a captivating read but also a source of inspiration for nurturing one's inner world.

Entertaining, thought-provoking depictions of classic Bible stories Renowned mythologist Bernard Evslin finds a powerful balance of tradition and modernity in his strongly realized retellings of Old Testament stories. His rendition reflects the literary style of the King James Bible and stays true to the Old Testament worldview and spirit—but also uses streamlined descriptions and dialogue, to balance the archaic language that can deter contemporary readers. Here you’ll find fresh versions of the iconic stories of Adam and Eve; Lot’s daughters; Jacob’s ladder; David and Goliath; Rebecca at the well; the twin brothers Jacob and Esau; and more, in a style that engages both the senses and the imagination.

'Spookily spellbinding - gripped me with an icy finger from the first page' - Catherine Bruton
Don't open the box, warned the old man.
But Charlie can't help himself...
Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
