    Paradise Planet by Richard S. Shaver - It was a nice little world; everything about it reminded Steve of Earth—except for the people. They looked as human—as steel could make them!... 
    It was a queer looking planet. As his ship approached it, Steve Donay could see slowly rising and twisting coils of strange smoke, brown and silver and gold, like great snakes or the tenuous flesh of some creature of the air. He hated to think of setting down on that world of surface fires. But what else was there to do? He was at the end of his supplies, there wasn't fuel enough to look further. Maybe not enough to land safely. But he had to take a chance. 
    As he burst down through the coiling layers of strange smoke, the world beneath was amazingly beautiful. Wild, maybe, no—those were planted trees, those fields of grass were too regularly curved, too well laid out. He smiled. That brown stuff, he should have recognized it. It was weather control particles. He'd read about it somewhere. Magnetized particles. When you turned on the field, they gathered, shut out unwanted light. When you reversed, to negative field projection, they caused rain to condense. When you wanted the sun, they were swept aside by another repellent field ... he should have recognized them. This was luck, a really civilized world. 
    He swept lower, his jets thrumming softly, reassuringly. Still perking, he could pick a good landing spot. There, beyond that huge tree group. And what trees they were. That meant an old culture, a good one. The temples crowning the hills, the peaceful meadows curving between, the lazy river—he caught his breath! This was a world, some place, indeed! 
    He set the little ship down near the great trees, and tested the air. It was normal, as he expected.

    Knitty Bears are different from Panda Bears and Spectacled Bears and Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears - 
    They are Bears made from wool and as deeply connected to all the Bears of all the Worlds, as you and I. 
    This spoken lullaby for Bedtimes and Sniffletimes and times when you want to feel closer, to yourself and to the Land. 
    A pattern for you to create your very own Knitty Bear - 
    Within this pattern for you to connect, with your very own Inner Bear. 
    Knitty Bear is a gorgeous, magical story about a knitted bear, called Knitty. It has plenty of illustrations and its themes are centered on belonging and connecting to yourself, the natural world and to each other. With a knitting pattern included, the creative process of knitting Knitty Bear mindfully aligns you more deeply to your own dreams and wishes, as you knit Knitty for the people you love or those times when you yourself, really need to hug a little, squishy bear. 
    The knitting pattern is ideal for beginners, supervised children or for the more experienced knitter. The story was originally aimed at 4 - 7 year-olds and we are discovering that adults who are aware of their Inner Child are resonating very much, with the gentle comfort of Knitty.

    In 1919, six adventurous Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—discover an old lantern in Ashdown Forest with a cryptic riddle etched into its base: "Seek where the raven guards the past, beneath the stones where shadows last." Following clues to a raven-haunted monolith and a hidden stone circle, they unearth an 1859 surveyor’s journal and smuggler’s treasure. The journal leads them to a legendary healing spring, where they witness its miraculous properties first hand. Their findings attract local historians, revealing the lantern’s ties to forest wardens and Napoleonic-era smugglers. Celebrated as junior historians, the girls return their discoveries to the village museum, proud to have preserved a piece of Sussex’s past. As they gather around their campfire, the restored lantern’s glow reminds them that the forest still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered—and their next adventure is just beginning.
