Sinopse

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.

    A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
