Synopsis

In "Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Adventures," Selma Lagerlöf employs an enchanting narrative style that intertwines elements of fantasy and realism. This beloved children's novel follows the journey of a young boy, Nils, who, after mistreating animals, is magically shrunk and embarks on a transformative journey across Sweden atop a goose. Lagerlöf's lyrical prose and vivid imagery not only captivate young readers but also serve as a vehicle for exploring themes of compassion, environmental awareness, and the importance of personal growth within the context of Swedish folklore and nature. The work reflects the author's deep appreciation for the Swedish landscape and its cultural heritage, blending moral lessons with imaginative storytelling. Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, draws inspiration from her own childhood experiences and Swedish folklore to craft Nils's adventures. Her passion for the natural world and her commitment to social issues, including her advocacy for education and women's rights, profoundly influenced her storytelling. Lagerlöf's literary endeavors often sought to bridge the gap between the fantastical and the moral, making her works timeless and engaging across generations. I highly recommend "Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Adventures" to readers of all ages, as it not only provides an adventurous escape into a vivid world filled with talking animals and breathtaking landscapes but also imparts essential lessons about empathy and stewardship of the earth. Lagerlöf's masterpiece deserves a place in the hearts of those who cherish literature that inspires both wonder and moral reflection.

    “Momaday must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary writers.”—American Scholar 
    From Pulitzer Prize winner and revered literary master N. Scott Momaday, a beautiful and enchanting new poetry collection, at once a celebration of language, imagination, and the human spirit. 
    “Language and the imagination work hand in hand, and together they enable us to reveal us to ourselves in story. That is indeed a magical process. . . . We imagine and we dream, and we translate our dreams into language.” —from the Preface 
    A singular voice in American letters, Momaday’s love of language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new collection comprising one hundred sketches or “dream drawings”—furnishings of the mind—as he calls them. Influenced by his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions, here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters, as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday’s extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and the transformative power of his writing.  
    Poignant, inspired, and timeless, this is a collection that will nourish the soul.

    Anger is one of the six core human emotions which we all experience from time to time. The Angry Alien feels 'different' and means he finds it difficult to control his emotions. His anger only makes him harder to understand until a good friend helps him come to terms with why he is the way he is and how to overcome those 'big feelings.' A book for younger readers to read alone or with the help of adults. Useful reading aids included. Beautifully illustrated and in easy-to-understand rhyme.
