The Wood-Pigeons and Mary - A Charming Tale of Friendship and Nature Adventures

Mrs. Molesworth

Summary

In "The Wood-Pigeons and Mary," Mrs. Molesworth deftly intertwines themes of nature and childhood innocence within a rich, pastoral setting. The narrative vividly illustrates the adventures of a young girl named Mary as she engages with the natural world around her, revealing both whimsical and profound observations about life. Molesworth'Äôs writing exhibits a fluid, lyrical style that recalls the Romantic tradition, yet her focus on the everyday experiences of children situates her work in the realm of Victorian literature, which often explored moral themes through the lens of youth. The inclusion of wood-pigeons serves as an evocative symbol of freedom and simplicity, enhancing the thematic depth of the novel. Mrs. Molesworth, a prominent figure in children's literature of the late 19th century, was known for her enchanting storytelling and her ability to draw from her energetic surroundings for inspiration. Having spent much of her life in pastoral settings, Molesworth was well-acquainted with the intricacies of nature, which influenced her portrayal of the natural world as both a playground and a teacher for children. This intimate relationship with the environment resonates throughout the narrative, reflecting her values as an observer and participant in the joys and trials of childhood. This charming tale is highly recommended for those seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while exploring the untouched curiosities of youth. Ideal for young readers and nostalgic adults alike, "The Wood-Pigeons and Mary" not only entertains but also captivates the mind with its gentle lessons and lyrical prose, promising a delightful escape into a world marked by simplicity and wonder.

The Buck that Buries its Poo -...

Quinton Coetzee

Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon’s tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? 
In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround 
creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people’s hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). 
Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee’s own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. 
PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!
