Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Children's Pilgrimage," L. T. Meade embarks on a captivating journey through the intertwining realms of adventure and moral awakening. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century England, the narrative cleverly employs allegorical elements reminiscent of both John Bunyan'Äôs "The Pilgrim's Progress" and the burgeoning children'Äôs literature of the time. The prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and imaginative plots, appealing to youthful curiosity while subtly instilling ethical lessons. Meade'Äôs storytelling blends whimsical escapism with thoughtful reflections on growth, identity, and community, making the work a noteworthy contribution to the genre of children'Äôs literature, particularly during the period of its publication when the moral education of children was of paramount concern to parents and educators alike. L. T. Meade, a prominent author and journalist of her time, was known for her deep understanding of childhood and the formative experiences it entails. Her prolific output often reflected her engagement with social issues affecting children, as well as her belief in the power of literature to inspire positive change. Meade's own childhood experiences and her literary contemporaries significantly influenced her portrayal of youthful innocence facing the complexities of the world. "The Children's Pilgrimage" is a must-read for anyone interested in children's literature that transcends mere entertainment. It serves as both a nostalgic reflection for adults and an enlightening adventure for young readers, making it a timeless exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the importance of moral values.

Never Trust A Thief!

Robert Silverberg

Never Trust A Thief! by Robert Silverberg - Kiley felt all-powerful with the alien guiding him in the looting of a world. Now the whole galaxy was his if he could remember to—Never Trust A Thief! 
Kiley took one last, fond look at the glittering heap of jewels in the back of the spaceship, nodded happily to himself, and began to set up a blastoff orbit. Somewhere down on the field far below, he could see dot-like figures—spaceport attendants, all firmly convinced that this was an authorized flight. 
He chuckled. This is the right way to pull a job, he thought contentedly. Hypnotize 'em silly and then walk in and take what you want. 
His fingers skipped lightly over the control panel as he readied the ship for blastoff. For the first time in his life he felt truly happy. Two million stellors of rare gems in the back of the ship, and even after cutting Thaklaru in for his share, that still left a million. A million stellors! Lord, that sounded good! 
Well, Kiley, are you going to spend all day dreaming? I'm waiting for you! 
The rolling thunder of Thaklaru's voice in Kiley's mind jolted him back to reality. "I'm on my way," he said out loud, knowing that the alien was listening. "I've got the stuff, and I'll be there before you know it." 
Good. I'm anxious to see those jewels. 
"Don't worry about it, Thaklaru."
