Sinossi

In "Captain Cranberry," Gladys Ruth Bridgham weaves a vibrant tale set in the lush landscapes of New England, blending elements of adventure and environmental consciousness. The narrative follows the protagonist, Captain Cranberry, as he navigates the complexities of nature and friendships in a world teeming with challenges and discoveries. Bridgham's lyrical prose captures both the whimsy and seriousness of her themes, while her fluid storytelling immerses readers in the rich tapestry of local flora, fauna, and community dynamics, reflecting the ecological concerns prevalent in early 20th-century American literature. Gladys Ruth Bridgham, a devoted naturalist and educator, often drew inspiration from her own experiences in the outdoors. Her affinity for nature, combined with her robust understanding of child development and educational methodology, informed her approach to writing for children. Bridgham's background in teaching and her commitment to nature conservation are evident throughout the narrative, as she aims to cultivate a sense of wonder and responsibility towards the environment in her young audience. "Captain Cranberry" is highly recommended for readers of all ages who share a passion for nature and adventure. Bridgham's enchanting story serves both as a delightful escape and an insightful exploration into the importance of environmental stewardship, making it a timeless addition to children's literature.

The Skeleton in the Cupboard -...

Lilija Berzinska

In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'

Heather Geobey

Princess Natalia lives in the Kingdom of Colour where she balances nature to make sure her people have enough of everything.
One day she saves a sapphire bird from choking on white goods. Not native to her own kingdom, the presence of the bird threatens their balance. Natalia begins a quest to return the bird to the other side of the Velvet Vines, the mysterious curtain separating the Kingdom of Colour and the world beyond.

She enters a kingdom ruled by a gluttonous enchantress called Millenia who has enslaved her people. Princess Natalia must avoid entrapment by the fireflies, save Rizzle from the brink of death and return the white goods to the baker. Realising the people enslaved by Millenia have little, if anything, to call their own, Natalia knows she cannot continue her own comfortable life while ignoring their plight. With the help of colour, a little magic, Rizzle, the baker and her dearest lion cub, Princess Natalia sets out to bring happiness to this new kingdom. When you have everything and others have nothing, restoring the balance is always the right thing to do.
