Synopsis

In "The Boy Apprenticed to an Enchanter," Padraic Colum weaves a rich tapestry of Celtic folklore and the transformative journey of young heroes. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a boy who becomes an apprentice to an enigmatic enchanter, navigating realms of magic, danger, and profound discovery. Colum's prose is marked by a lyrical quality that pays homage to traditional storytelling, while its enchanting simplicity draws readers of all ages into a vivid mythical world steeped in ancient wisdom and charm. The book finds its place within a literary context that celebrates the revival of folkloric tales in the early 20th century, contributing to the genre's enduring appeal and relevance. Padraic Colum, an Irish poet, novelist, and playwright, was deeply influenced by the rich cultural heritage of Ireland and the stories passed down through generations. His extensive research in folklore and mythology, coupled with a personal love for storytelling, equipped him to craft this captivating tale. Colum's commitment to exploring themes of identity, growth, and the interplay between reality and the supernatural is evident throughout the narrative, reflecting his own experiences of migration and cultural exploration. I highly recommend "The Boy Apprenticed to an Enchanter" to readers seeking a mesmerizing blend of adventure and mysticism. Whether a young reader stepping into the world of fantasy or an adult curious about the depths of Irish folklore, this novel offers timeless lessons of courage, resilience, and the enchantment of life itself.

    The Life–Work of Professor Muntz by Murray Leinster - Multiple time-tracks lead to the Ajax Brewery! 
    Nobody would ordinarily have thought of Mr. Grebb and Professor Muntz in the same breath, so to speak, yet their careers impinged upon each other remarkably. Mr. Grebb was a large, coarse person, with large coarse manners and large coarse pores on-an oversized nose. He drove a beer truck for the Ajax Brewing Company, and his ene dominant desire was to get something on Joe Hallix, who as head of the delivery service for Ajax, was his immediate boss. 
    Professor Muntz, on the other hand, was the passionately shy and mouselike author of "The Mathematics of Multiple TimeTracks," who vanished precipitately when he found himself famous. In that abstruse work he referred worriedly to experimental evidence of parallel time-tracks, and other physicists converged upon him with hopeful gleams in their eyes, and he fled. 
    Professor Muntz couldn't talk to people. But they wanted to know about his expеriments. They couldn't make any. They didn't know how to start, and to them the whole thing had been abstract theory. But he had made experiments and they wanted to ask about them, so he ran away in an agony of shyness. 
    That was that. No one human being could seem less likely to be affected by Professor Muntz' life-work than Mr. Grebb, and no life-work could seem more certainly immune to Mr. Grebb than Professor Muntz'. But life is full of paradoxes, and the theory of multiple time-cracks is even fuller. Therefore...

    Nesta Helen Webster (24 August 1876 - 16 May 1960) was a controversial historian, occultist, and author who revived conspiracy theories about the Illuminati. She argued that the secret society s members were occultists, plotting communist world domination, using the idea of a Jewish cabal, the Masons and Jesuits as a smokescreen. 
    According to her, their international subversion included the French Revolution, 1848 Revolution, the First World War, the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. In 1920, Webster was one of the contributing authors who wrote the The Jewish Peril, a series of articles in the London Morning Post, centered on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. These articles were subsequently compiled and published in the same year, in book form under the title of the The Cause of World Unrest. She was cited respectfully by Winston Churchill, "This movement among the Jews...as Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, [played] a definitely recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution." I.

    1. How to make learning fun. 
    2. It is normal to make mistakes. 
    3. Children learn by practice. 
    4. Actions have consequences 
    5. One can learn from mistakes.
