  The Story of Little Boy Blue -...

  "Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, 
  The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn; 
  Where's the little boy that minds the sheep? 
  He's under the haystack, fast asleep!" 
  So what is this all about? Why is he asleep? Is he just lazy or is there a good reason for this? That wonderful storyteller Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, tells us the delightful story behind this little rhyme and we all will feel much better knowing that the little boy had excellent reasons to be asleep that morning. Listen and enjoy the whole nifty story. Many of our most loved nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.

  Maisie the Mole - And the...

  In the late 1800s at Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's magnificent Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, a small brown mole named Maisie arrives in the pristine gardens, much to the dismay of Matthew, the dedicated head gardener. Initially viewed as a destructive pest, Maisie's molehills mar the perfectly manicured lawns and formal gardens that Matthew takes such pride in maintaining for the Baron's grand estate. 
  However, the estate's children—Samuel, Jacob, James, Joseph, John, Peter, Thomas, Ruth, Sara, Mary, and Hannah—are fascinated by the mysterious creature living beneath their feet. Ranging in age from six to ten, these children of the estate staff begin leaving gifts for Maisie and gradually develop a tender friendship with the shy mole. Their natural empathy and curiosity lead them to see beyond the surface damage to discover Maisie's gentle nature. 
  As Matthew continues his futile attempts to rid the gardens of what he considers a nuisance, he begins to notice remarkable improvements in areas where Maisie has been working. The soil from her molehills proves to be exceptionally rich and dark, perfect for creating superior potting compost. Her extensive tunnel system naturally aerates the heavy clay soil, improving drainage and allowing plant roots to breathe. Most surprisingly, Maisie's presence dramatically reduces garden pests—she hunts grubs, wireworms, and other harmful insects that typically damage plants, while her activities encourage beneficial earthworms to thrive. 
  The children's persistent advocacy for their friend, combined with Matthew's growing recognition of Maisie's invaluable contributions, gradually transforms the gardener's perspective. When the Prince of Wales visits Waddesdon Manor, he is charmed by both Maisie and the children's devotion to her, giving royal approval to this unusual friendship. 
  Throughout the changing seasons, Maisie becomes an integral part of the estate community.
