Synopsis

In "The Bungalow Boys on the Great Lakes," John Henry Goldfrap crafts a vivid adventure that intertwines youthful exuberance with the serene yet formidable landscapes of the Great Lakes. This work of children'Äôs literature employs a lively, descriptive style that captures the sights and sounds of summer escapades, reflecting both the natural beauty and the outdoor culture of early 20th-century America. Goldfrap's narrative not only entertains but also serves as a lens into the historical context of the 1920s, when leisure activities by the lakes became a societal staple for many families, allowing for a rich exploration of friendship, nature, and personal growth among the central characters. John Henry Goldfrap, a notable author of juvenile fiction in his era, drew inspiration from his own childhood adventures along the Great Lakes. His experiences mirror those of his characters, providing authenticity and depth to their journeys. Goldfrap'Äôs passion for nature and storytelling is evident, as he weaves educational elements about the environment and friendship into the narrative, likely reflecting his own values shaped by the idyllic settings of his youth. I highly recommend "The Bungalow Boys on the Great Lakes" for readers seeking a delightful mix of adventure and nostalgia. This book is perfect for young readers and parents alike, as it ignites imaginations while encouraging a love for nature and exploration. Goldfrap'Äôs timeless storytelling will undoubtedly resonate with anyone who appreciates the charm of childhood adventure.

The Thing Behind Hell's Door -...

Robert Silverberg

The Thing Behind Hell's Door by Robert Silverberg - It seemed to be human... but it was inside out, all its organs exposed... the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the stomach digesting... and now, the Thing began to come toward him... its mouth working hideously!
The room was small and obviously hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint in last decade, but Robert Harris decided it wasn't bad for the price. And he needed a to stay. A place where he could study without being disturbed.
The landlady stood behind him, a withered crone who, like the room, had a faintly musty odor. She grinned, showing the puckered redness of her toothless gums. Her teeth, Robert thought sourly, were probably downstairs in a glass of water.
"Like it?" she asked in her hoarse croak of a voice, eagerly.
"It's–very nice," Robert said without enthusiasm.
A twelve–by–fourteen room, a rickety bed, a dirty window whose g'ass was so warped he could hardly see through it, a single tiny closet–it wasn't much of a room at all. But he couldn't argue with a price of six bucks a week. Until he found work here in San Francisco, he was going to have to practice economies. Cheap eating-places, cheap movies, cheap hotel rooms.
The landlady—Mrs. Garvey, that was her name—walked to the window. Dust was thick enough to draw pictures in on the pane. "Lovely view you have from here," she gabbled, indicating the fog-bound street with het twisted forefinger, Robert smiled and nodded. The view was of the other side of the street, a dozen close–packed old ramshackle houses just like this one, here in San Francisco's North Beach district. Some view. Robert shrugged. For six bucks a week, what did the view matter?

The Guest Rites

Robert Silverberg

The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down!
It was time for the after-meal meditation. Marik, First Priest of Carthule, finished his frugal meal and went outside to sit in the mid-day breeze and watch the sands blowing gently over the bare flat plains. The problem of the Revelation occupied his reveries: why had Carthule, in His infinite wisdom, waited so long to reveal to His people that they were not alone in the universe?
Marik looked up at the glowing dot behind the gray wall of the sky. That, he knew, was the Sun. And there were other planets, some inhabited, some not. Carthule was not alone; He was one of nine. And His people had never suspected the truth until the flaming ships of the third planet—Earth, was it?—had broken through the skies, and the small white people had told them of the other worlds.
The problem was one which the greatest theologians of the time—in whose number Marik, without pride, deemed himself—had discussed at great length, never coming to a solution. Marik and Polla San, of the neighboring temple, had finally concluded that Carthule moved in ways too complex for His mortal people to understand.
Marik lowered his gaze from the sky and looked out across the dry expanse of desert. He could make out, dimly, Polla San's temple far across the sands. Polla San was due to visit him shortly, he recalled. Or was it the other way around? Marik frowned; he was getting old, and soon would have to relinquish his duties to one of the younger acolytes and spend his remaining decades sitting dreaming in the afternoon.
Calmly Marik settled into the semi-somnolence of the after-meal meditation, fixing his gaze on the far-off temple of Polla San but turning his vision inward.
