Sinopse

In "Timothy's Quest," Kate Douglas Wiggin weaves a poignant tale set in a quaint New England village, reflecting the themes of childhood innocence and the bittersweet passage of time. The narrative follows young Timothy, a sensitive and imaginative boy, as he grapples with the complexities of joy, sorrow, and the search for belonging. Wiggin's lyrical prose and vivid descriptions ground the reader in this pastoral setting, while her skillful characterization ensures that each figure resonates with authenticity and depth. This novel, often regarded as a cornerstone of children's literature from the late 19th century, deftly navigates the sociocultural landscapes of its time, highlighting the educational ideals prevalent in American society. Kate Douglas Wiggin, an influential figure in children's literature, established her reputation not only as an author but also as a pioneer in early childhood education. Her commitment to creating enriching literary experiences for children was informed by her founding of the first kindergarten in San Francisco, which instilled in her a deep understanding of the joys and challenges faced by young readers. This background undoubtedly shaped her desire to write stories that not only entertain but also impart moral and emotional lessons. I enthusiastically recommend "Timothy's Quest" to readers of all ages who seek a heartfelt exploration of childhood and the universal quest for connection. Wiggin's timeless narrative invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of growing up and to rekindle the wonder of youth through Timothy's eyes, making this book an enduring classic.

Mistress Mary - Mistress Mary...

Mary was the beloved daughter of a sailor and his wife who lived on a hill close to the sea. The rhyme calls her "Mistress Mary, quite contrary" because sad to say she was a contrary child often doing the exact opposite of what her mother and father advised for no reason but that she did not wish to follow their advice. But her parents loved her and knew that she would some day grow out of this peevish behavior. One day her father and brothers were to leave on a long sea journey and she asked him "	And how long will you be gone, papa?" He responded Why, just this, sweetheart," returned the sailor gravely; "all the time that it takes the cowslips and dingle-bells and cockle-shells to sprout from the ground, and grow big and strong, and blossom into flower, and, yes—to wither and die away again—all that time shall your brothers and I sail the seas. But when the cold winds begin to blow, and the flowers are gone, then, God willing, we shall come back to you; and by that time you may have grown wiser and bigger, and I am sure you will have grown older. So one more kiss, sweetheart, and then we must go, for our time is up." 
After he left, Mistress Mary decided to plant a garden of these flowers to know when her father and brothers would return and that garden is what the poem is talking about. But it did not happen as she expected! Oh no! Listen to this delightful story to see how Mary learned to not be so contrary.
