Sinopse

In 'Just'ÄîWilliam', Richmal Crompton masterfully captures the misadventures of an exuberant young boy, William Brown, who navigates the world with a blend of innocence and mischief. Written in a witty and accessible style, the narrative is rich with humorous dialogue and vivid characterization, illustrating a child's perspective on the complexities of adult society in early 20th-century England. Crompton's keen observational prowess elevates her storytelling, making the book a quintessential exploration of childhood that resonates across generations while critiquing societal norms with subtlety and grace. Richmal Crompton, a pioneering female author of her time, drew inspiration from her own experiences and the world around her. Her background in teaching and her lifelong passion for children'Äôs literature informed her portrayals of youthful exuberance and the struggles of childhood. Creating William as a vehicle for adventure and social commentary, Crompton expertly invites readers into a world that both entertains and provokes thought, shedding light on the joys and trials of growing up. 'Just'ÄîWilliam' is a delightful read not only for children but for any adult who cherishes the whims and wonders of youth. Crompton'Äôs timeless humor and heartwarming narrative make this a book to be revisited, offering insights into human nature that are as relevant today as they were when first penned, thus making it an essential addition to the library of any literary enthusiast.

    In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
    If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
    Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
    Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
    A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'
