Sinossi

In "The Diary of a Goose Girl," Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin presents a whimsical yet poignant narrative through the eyes of a young girl who becomes enchanted by a flock of geese. Set against the backdrop of rural New England, the novel employs a blend of realism and gentle humor, exemplifying Wiggin's signature literary style'Äîa fusion of simplicity and depth that reflects her understanding of children's literature. The book captures fleeting moments of childhood innocence and the natural world, inviting readers to explore themes of friendship, transformation, and the connection to nature, all of which echo the literary movements of the late 19th century that focused on anti-industrialism and pastoral life. Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin, an influential figure in children's literature and social reformer, was deeply inspired by her own upbringing in Maine, where nature played a significant role in her formative years. Her experiences as a teacher and her advocacy for children's education informed her literary voice, leading her to craft engaging stories that resonate with young readers. Wiggin's love for the environment and her belief in the power of storytelling to foster empathy shine through her work, making her one of the preeminent voices of her time. This charming novella is a delightful read for those who appreciate the intricacies of childhood and the beauty of the natural world. Wiggin'Äôs evocative prose and relatable characters will resonate with readers of all ages, making "The Diary of a Goose Girl" a timeless addition to the canon of children's literature. Perfect for both individual reflection and educational settings, this book invites readers to embrace the simplicity and splendor that life has to offer.

    Recess. A swing set. An argument. A resolution! Michael Hall’s transformative Swing is a celebration of friendship, joy, and kindness. Readers of all ages will look forward to seeing how four unlikely friends navigate their differences. A surprising and standout story from the acclaimed and bestselling creator of Red: A Crayon’s Story and Perfect Square. 
      
    It’s recess! Four letters (O, V, E, and L) race to the playground to claim the swings. In several pages of recess banter and bullying, one letter is told it’s too round, one is from the wrong end of the alphabet, and one is a vowel and therefore not welcome. What does it take to save the day? Kindness . . . and a heavenly and joyful swing. And what do the letters—friends now because of their shared experience—spell when they finally come back to Earth? LOVE. 
     A story about sharing, acceptance, and kindness, this transcendent and colorful story will keep readers guessing while also introducing the letters of the alphabet. Swing is for anyone who loves to hop on a swing and fly to the sky.

    The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith - In the city of strange wonders, the lure of the flame drew them on and on… destruction loomed ahead… 
    Clark Ashton Smith was born in California in 1893. He was an insatiable reader with a photographic memory. He read an unabridged dictionary word for word, studying the definitions of the words and their origins. He read the complete 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica at least twice. 
    He started writing at 11. By 14 he had written a short adventure novel titled The Black Diamonds which was lost for decades until was published in 2002 more than 41 years after his death. 
    Smith was poor most of his life and often did manual labor jobs like fruit picking and woodcutting to provide for himself and his parents. To say he was a prolific writer of horror and science fiction would be a huge understatement. Between 1929 and 1934 he wrote more than a hundred short stories. He began corresponding with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft and the three of them became friends although they never met. 
    Clark Ashton Smith was praised by his peers, H. P. Lovecraft said, “in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled” and Ray Bradbury said that Smith, “filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures”. You are about to discover what Lovecraft and Bradbury were talking about.
