Beschreibung

In "The Boy Scouts on War Trails in Belgium; Or, Caught Between Hostile Armies," Herbert active 1909-1917 Carter weaves a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of World War I, demonstrating the resilience and courage of youth amid chaos. The novel employs a straightforward yet evocative literary style, appealing to young readers through vivid descriptions and adventure-driven prose. Carter's work reflects the early 20th century's fascination with the Boy Scouts and their moral and physical fortitude, while also addressing the broader themes of friendship, bravery, and the harsh realities of conflict during a tumultuous period in European history. Herbert Carter, writing during the height of the Boy Scouts movement, encapsulated the spirit of the age as nations grappled with the implications of war. His experiences, as well as the prevailing attitudes towards patriotism and duty, profoundly influenced his storytelling. Carter sought to inspire a sense of adventure and resilience in young readers, forging a narrative that combined excitement with moral lessons pertinent to his time. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate historical adventure tales and are interested in the cultural and social contexts of early 20th-century literature. It not only engages young minds but also stimulates important discussions about the impact of war on youth and society.

    These are six brilliant and enthralling stories that, while making you both laugh and cry,  also leave you desperate to know what happens next.  A nineteenth-century Ireland is depicted; steeped in the supernatural, it's a place where both humans and fairies collide, both refusing to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.
    
    We witness the friendship between Tipperary farmer Darby O'Gill and King Brian Connors of the Good People grow. These two, who first thought that the differences between them meant that they were forever mortal enemies, later realise that circumstances unite rather than divide them. The stories also celebrate the most powerful fairy of them all, the Banshee, who is not really the scary villain that people sometimes imagine, but rather a career-minded, kind-hearted messenger from the Otherworld.
    
    Brian McManus has made some changes to the original stories to present them to modern readers at their absolute best, while still remaining true to the spirit and intention of Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.
    
    These delightful tales of genuine Irish folklore, full of charm, wittiness, and poignancy, will appeal to children of all ages.

God sent along Melvin, a guardian angel, and a promise that God would always be there--even if the Little Soul forgot from time to time.Experience the world through the eyes of the Little Soul in her first few moments on Earth as Meghan meets her mommy and daddy, learns about love, and begins to figure out what it means--and how it feels--to be human.The Little Soul and the Earth is a delightful, vividly told and illustrated tale from the team that created The Little Soul and the Sun.

Gently reminding us that beauty and love are all around, the world of the joyous Little Soul is a place your child will want to visit again and again.
