Sinopsis

In "The Boy Scouts Down in Dixie; or, The Strange Secret of Alligator Swamp," Herbert Carter immerses readers in an adventurous narrative that captures the spirit of early 20th-century youth literature. Set in the southern United States, the story is rich with the themes of camaraderie, courage, and the thrill of exploration. Carter's writing is characterized by vivid imagery and straightforward prose, evoking both the lush landscapes of the South and the intricacies of the Boy Scouts'Äô code, blending adventure with moral lessons that resonate with the ideals of the period. The novel reflects the burgeoning interest in outdoor pursuits and the emphasis on character-building within the context of early scouting traditions. Herbert Carter, active between 1909 and 1917, was a prominent author of children'Äôs adventure stories, often influenced by the Boy Scouts movement's growing popularity. His own experiences and the cultural milieu of post-Edwardian England likely inspired his depictions of youthful heroism and moral integrity. Carter's commitment to depicting outdoor adventures in exciting narratives aligns with the educational ethos of the time, emphasizing self-reliance and community engagement. This engaging tale is highly recommended for readers seeking to explore the rich tapestry of early American adventure literature. With its captivating plot and enduring themes, Carter's work will appeal not only to young readers but also to adults interested in the historical context of youth culture and the evolution of outdoor literature.

    "Basil the Child Dreams" shows twenty-two images of the possible dispensation. The author would not advise to treat Basil the Child and his considerations condescendingly. On the other hand, the author would suggest the readers taking Basil the Child very seriously, and, most probably, choosing the time, finding a suitable picturesque location, and considering the possible dispensation on their own. Illustrations by Shasi Martynova. Translated by Max Nemtsov.

    "Will you please come back and play for the club Aoife?". Aidan asks his twin sister this question every week. Twins, Aoife and Aidan Power, along with their four best friends love playing Gaelic football. They spend most evenings after school playing football in the green in their picturesque rural village of "Droichead Beag". Aoife and Aidan are skilful and fast but when they combine on the same team, "Twin Power" is unleashed and they have an almost telepathic communication on the pitch, leading to some spectacular scores.
    But while Aoife loves football, an incident at a match almost two years earlier saw her stop training and playing with her local GAA club, Droichead Beag GAA. Aidan knows what happened, but Aoife refuses to tell her friends. Could it have something to do with their Under 12 counterparts in Gorman GAA, the rival parish team of Droichead Beag, where old rivalries run deep?
    And how will Aoife's refusal to play affect their school team when the children's teacher Ms. Kelly, herself a former All- Star football player announces an exciting new school's football competition, "Star Schools GAA"?
    Parish rivalries re-surface and threaten to get out of hand as the children of Droichead Beag National School fight tooth and nail to get their hands on the coveted first ever Star Schools Cup.
