Summary

In "The High School Boys' Fishing Trip," H. Irving Hancock masterfully weaves a narrative that captures the spirit of youthful adventure and camaraderie among high school students. Set against the backdrop of a summer fishing expedition, the story not only showcases Hancock's flair for vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue but also reflects the literary style of early 20th-century boys' literature, where themes of friendship, self-discovery, and moral integrity prevail.

H. Irving Hancock was an influential author known for his numerous works aimed at young readers, often drawing from his own experiences and the cultural milieu of his time. His background in journalism and literature, combined with a passion for outdoor adventures and boyhood tales, inspired him to create stories that resonate with the ethos of early 1900s America. This connection allows Hancock to authentically depict the excitement and lessons learned from the boys' fishing journey, embodying the period's ideals of masculinity and adventure. This book is highly recommended for young readers and adults alike who appreciate classic tales that inspire wonder and moral growth. Hancock'Äôs engaging storytelling invites readers to immerse themselves in the simple yet profound pleasures of youth, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences in nature and friendship.

    Bombo and the Jealous Friend is a gentle bedtime story that helps prevent and softly handle one of the most common preschool challenges: jealousy between friends or siblings. With simple language and a calm pace, Bombo guides little ones—like Chirpy—from “mine, me first!” to sharing, turn-taking, empathy, and stronger friendship, supporting a more peaceful home routine.

No lectures—just a short, reassuring narrative ideal for bedtime and for creating a steady evening routine.

·        Models sharing, turn-taking, respect for others, and gentle parenting.

    This is the story of Ben the useless Border Collie! Well that's what his first owner Gwyn Thomas thought. The sheep farmer had suffered a mental breakdown at the time. He had lost his wife in a terrible accident, causing him to almost lose his mind! His daughter Belle had also been involved in the tragedy, having her arm so badly injured it had had to be removed. Ben had been her pet, but he was also supposed to be a sheep dog, helping his mum Floss to take care of the large flock. Unfortunately, Ben had been born with a weak back leg, making it almost impossible for him to control the sheep. He was ok on a straight run, but when it came to turning round his leg let him down, causing the poor dog to fall over. It always upset him, but there was nothing he could do to alter the situation try as he might. This heartwarming tale is full of danger and love, it tells of many hair-raising happenings. 
Read about Ben's mum Floss, and Nellie the Golden Labrador, and Peggy Owen who are all so important in the telling of this lovely tale. They are definitely the loves of this Collie's life! 
Please read and enjoy the riveting, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, heart warming adventure 'To Lead Us Home.'

    The Jade Emperor asked the Buddha to help subdue the monkey after he created havoc in Heaven. The Buddha created the Mountain of Five Elements to imprison the monkey. Five centuries later, Xuanzang, an eminent Buddhist monk, was entrusted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to retrieve Buddhist sutras from the Western Continent. On his way west, Xuanzang rescued the monkey. Enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, the monkey converted to Buddhism and became Xuanzang's disciple to guard him all the way to the Western Continent. 
To maintain control of the unruly monkey, Guanyin instructed Xuanzang to put a golden hoop on the monkey's head and recite the hoop-tightening spell to punish any disobedience. The spell caused the monkey to writhe in agony and promise to behave. Guanyin also subdued a white dragon and transformed him into a horse to carry Xuanzang on his journey.
