Sinossi

In "Andy Grant's Pluck," Horatio Alger Jr. weaves an inspiring narrative of resilience and determination through the life of a young boy who rises from poverty to success. Alger's characteristic style'Äîmarked by its clear, optimistic prose and engaging dialogue'Äîserves to illustrate moral fortitude and the quintessential 'rags-to-riches' theme emblematic of late 19th-century American literature. The book, set in an era of burgeoning opportunity, offers a vivid snapshot of the socio-economic dynamics of the time, showcasing how sheer will and hard work can pave the way for upward mobility. Horatio Alger Jr. was a product of the Victorian era, deeply influenced by its values of industriousness and self-reliance. His own experiences with poverty and his later successes as a writer greatly shaped his narrative approach. Through his works, Alger sought to instill hope and exemplify the American Dream, encouraging young readers, particularly those from modest backgrounds, to believe in their potential to overcome obstacles. "Andy Grant's Pluck" is a must-read for anyone interested in the themes of ambition and perseverance, as well as for fans of classic American literature. Its timeless message continues to resonate, making it a relevant and motivational read for contemporary audiences seeking inspiration in their own journeys.

    "Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham's zany pictures make the series an absolute must." – The Bookseller

    Here for your enjoyment are 12 imaginative stories written by A.A. Milne about beautiful 12 illustrations originally published in the Colliers magazine. (I strongly urge listeners to find this book on line and look at each illustration while listening. The story he weaves is intimately involved with what is going on there. I promise you will be delighted.) He wove these into flights of fancy and fun about the children shown; their background, problems and desires. I liked these stories and just wanted to have the joy of reading them myself. So this will be my solo attempt to bring these stories to life for children and adults.
