  Shandy - Love Jealousy and a...

  Shandy by Ron Goulart is a witty, offbeat science fiction story that showcases his trademark blend of humor and human insight. At its heart is Nancy Tanner and her unusual companion, Shandy—a teddy bear, a lion, an ape, and something far stranger. What begins as a lighthearted look at affection and rivalry evolves into a reflection on identity and emotion in a world where technology and fantasy intertwine. Like much of Goulart’s work, Shandy balances satire and sentiment, using absurd situations to reveal truths about love, loneliness, and what it means to be human. His sharp dialogue and breezy style make the story both funny and unsettling, a perfect example of how he could infuse whimsy with warmth. 
  Ron Goulart (1933–2022) was one of the most versatile and prolific voices in American popular fiction. Born in Berkeley, California, he wrote hundreds of stories and novels across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and comic adventure—often marked by his quick wit and social satire. A frequent contributor to Galaxy and If magazines, Goulart was also known for his media tie-in novels and for reviving pulp heroes like The Avenger. Beyond fiction, he was a noted historian of comics and pulp literature, authoring nonfiction works such as Cheap Thrills and Comic Book Culture. Goulart’s writing combined humor with compassion, capturing the eccentricities of modern life and the absurdities of technology with a light but insightful touch. His work remains a bridge between the pulp era’s exuberance and the self-aware irony of modern speculative fiction.

  A Nonconformist preacher and writer of the seventeenth century, John Bunyan is well known as the author of Pilgrim's Progress, the epic tale of Christian's journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City-from unbelief, to repentance and faith, to the trials and victories of life, to heaven. Many people don't realize, however, that Bunyan based the story on his own life, which was full of dangers, obstacles, disappointments, tough decisions, and great encouragements.  Simonetta Carr introduces young readers to the story of John Bunyan, from his rebellious youth to preacher of the gospel and prisoner for the sake of Christ. His example of faithfulness to God will inspire readers as they learn about this important figure of church history.

  This is a collection of a few of my personal favorite stories by Hans Christian Andersen that I most loved as a child and still enjoy as an adult. The Emperor's New Clothes was funny from my earliest years because even then I could see that it poked fun at adults and their silly pretensions; The Ugly Duckling I think, was enjoyable because the bullied little one turned out so well and it had a happy ending although I thought even as a child that the protagonist should have gone back and brought those mean barnyard fowl down a peg or two. Little Tiny or Thumbellina is just a sweet story with adventure thrown in and The Brave Little Tin Soldier was and is a tribute to bravery and steadfastness. The last story, There Is No Doubt About It ! was so obviously silly and fun even to a young child and frankly, I just love the way the animals talk in this story.

  The dreams of children are the most magical places, where anything is possible and there are no limits. Where entire worlds - even life itself - can be created with just a thought. In one such amazingly ordinary world, imaginations collide and fantastically normal beasts are born. The land of The Hiole provides a safe place for these creatures to call home. The guardian of The Hiole and its residents is a creature known as The Frox. Half frog, half fox, this magnificent being has been charged with their safe-keeping. The Frox must guide these creatures back to finish their dreams. To remind them of who they came from and to ensure that their dreamers' imaginations continue to flourish. This story introduces the first ever guest of The Hiole, Lord Regibald. The Frox must find, befriend, and help him finish the dreams he was created in. If The Frox can't convince Lord Regibald to travel back, his creators will be stuck in their unfinished dreams every night, unable to create anything new.
