Beschreibung

In "Girls New and Old," L. T. Meade crafts a vivid tapestry that intricately weaves the lives of young women navigating the vicissitudes of adolescence in the late Victorian era. The narrative juxtaposes the experiences of both modern and traditional girls, exploring themes of friendship, societal expectations, and personal agency. Meade's literary style is marked by a rich descriptive flair and an engaging dialogue that brings each character to life, reflecting the cultural constraints and aspirations of young women during a transformative time in British society. L. T. Meade, a prominent author known for her contributions to children's literature, utilized her own experiences as a governess and her keen observations of young girls' lives to inform her writing. Her extensive repertoire often showcased the strength, resilience, and complexity of female characters. Meade was an advocate for women'Äôs education and empowerment, values that resonate throughout this work, presenting an encouraging portrayal of young women who challenge the status quo. "Girls New and Old" is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature and historical narratives that capture the spirit of youthful exploration. Meade's stellar portrayal of girls' lives will resonate with contemporary readers, inspiring reflection on the struggles and triumphs of young women then and now.

    Darby O'Gill and the Good People...

    These are six brilliant and enthralling stories that, while making you both laugh and cry,  also leave you desperate to know what happens next.  A nineteenth-century Ireland is depicted; steeped in the supernatural, it's a place where both humans and fairies collide, both refusing to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.
    
    We witness the friendship between Tipperary farmer Darby O'Gill and King Brian Connors of the Good People grow. These two, who first thought that the differences between them meant that they were forever mortal enemies, later realise that circumstances unite rather than divide them. The stories also celebrate the most powerful fairy of them all, the Banshee, who is not really the scary villain that people sometimes imagine, but rather a career-minded, kind-hearted messenger from the Otherworld.
    
    Brian McManus has made some changes to the original stories to present them to modern readers at their absolute best, while still remaining true to the spirit and intention of Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.
    
    These delightful tales of genuine Irish folklore, full of charm, wittiness, and poignancy, will appeal to children of all ages.
