Stormy Misty's Foal - A Wild Pony's Journey of Family Perseverance and Friendship

Marguerite Henry

Summary

In "Stormy, Misty's Foal," Marguerite Henry continues her exploration of the bond between humans and horses, a recurring theme in her oeuvre. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Chincoteague Island, the novel meticulously captures the delicate rhythms of nature and equine life. Written in Henry'Äôs vivid, pastoral style, the narrative is both engaging and educational, imparting rich details about horse care, training, and the unique cultural heritage surrounding the famous Chincoteague ponies. This work serves not only as a continuation of the beloved character Misty but also as a poignant testament to the cycle of life, as Stormy, Misty'Äôs foal, embarks on his own journey towards independence and discovery. Marguerite Henry, a celebrated author of children's literature, had a profound love for animals, particularly horses, which greatly influenced her writing. Raised in a family of horse enthusiasts, Henry's childhood experiences on a farm fueled her vivid imagination and appreciation for storytelling. Her extensive research and visits to Chincoteague Island, coupled with her deep empathy for the characters in her stories, allowed her to craft a narrative that resonates with both young and adult audiences. I highly recommend "Stormy, Misty's Foal" to readers who appreciate heartfelt storytelling intertwined with nature'Äôs beauty. This novel not only appeals to children with its adventurous spirit but also invites adults to reflect on the themes of growth, responsibility, and the enduring connection between humans and animals, making it a timeless addition to the canon of equestrian literature.

The Bondage of the Will

Martin Luther

First published in 1525, Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will" is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther's response to Desiderius Erasmus's "Diatribe on Free Will, " written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty. For Luther, this key issue of free will is directly connected to God's plan of salvation. Is man able to save himself, or is his salvation entirely a work of divine grace? This work is vital to understanding the primary doctrines of the Reformation and will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian history.

Gambler's Asteroid - On an...

Manly Wade Wellman

Gambler's Asteroid by Manly Wade Wellman - Patch Merrick and Zaarrgon Try to Win a Stake in Order to Escape the Vengeance of a Dazzling but Dangerous Beauty!
The asteroid Hector was once a jagged space-crumb with few attractions, little gravity and no atmosphere whatever, but a shrewd Venusian opportunist changed all that. He had encased the tiny world in glassite and artificially speeded up an already lively spin. What fuel fed his atomic turbines was a mystery, but it was powerful stuff indeed. Centrifugal force did the rest. The glassite sheath prevented the oxygen from escaping and the glassite served as a transparent floor for visiting gamblers.
Gambling supported Hector. There were cafes, entertainers, luxury apartments, but gambling drew the crowds. Many fortunes were lost at Hector's tables, and not so many won. Even king gamblers came to brief. And big Patch Merrick, for all his many skills, was no king gambler.
He stood at a silvery table in the main salon. From somewhere seeped Venusian chirp-water music. A Martian joy-lamp shed stimulus-rays overhead. The televisos on the walls presented a variety of spectacles-formalized comi-tragedy for Martians, Terrestrial news events for Earthmen, and an attitude dance by a Ganymedean girl for outer planet inhabitants. Under the glassite floor whirled Heaven's star-sparked abyss. In the midst of this splendor, Merrick wagered his last value-units.
"Play" chorused the fringe of gamblers. There were froggy Venusians, Terrestrial junketers, Jovian colonials of varied descent. Only Martians, who sometimes read minds, were excluded from play. They only watched, their squidlike bodies metal-harnessed beneath their robes, their flowery craniums nodding, their artificial larynxes slurring amused comment.
