Sinopsis

In "The Silver Crown: Another Book of Fables," Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards employs a lyrical and enchanting narrative style, weaving together a collection of fables that reflect moral truths and philosophical insights. Through a rich tapestry of anthropomorphized characters, each story serves as a vessel for deeper reflections on virtue, resilience, and the human condition, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with morality in literature. The fables draw upon traditional tropes, yet Richards infuses them with fresh perspectives, making them relevant for both children and adults, reflecting her keen understanding of the complexities of moral education. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, an accomplished poet, author, and biographer, was deeply embedded in the literary and intellectual milieu of her time, being the daughter of the prominent writer and feminist, Clara Elizabeth Howe. Her extensive experience in writing and her commitment to educating the young shaped her narrative voice in this collection. Richards's personal background and her progressive ideals illuminate her desire to craft stories that inspire ethical behavior and empathy among readers, particularly the youth. Richards's "The Silver Crown" is a timeless collection that deserves a place on the shelves of those who appreciate literature steeped in moral wisdom. Scholars, educators, and parents will find it a valuable tool for fostering discussions about ethics and values, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the interplay between storytelling and moral education.

Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.

The speckled hen laid 12 eggs in her hidden nest at the top of the hay pile in the barn and the very last one, whom she called Humpty Dumpty having run out of names, was the largest of all. Now you may not know that eggs can talk but they can. The nest was very crowded and so the eggs began kicking each other to get more space for themselves. Humpty Dumpty, being on the very edge of the next, was kicked completely out and then decided to look about the wide world to see what he could see. You will need to listen to this story to know what happens next but I assure you it is very exciting and involves a beautiful princess and a king and a happy marriage not to mention the king's horses. And Humpty was involved in all of it. !!!

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, 
And a merry old soul was he; 
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl 
And he called for his fiddlers three 
"OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance—"hard luck" he used to call it—that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything." and so begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
