Synopsis

"Knightly Legends of Wales; or, The Boy's Mabinogion" by Sidney Lanier presents a masterful retelling of the ancient Welsh tales known as the Mabinogion, designed specifically for a younger audience. Lanier employs a lyrical prose style infused with vivid imagery and rich characterization, reflecting his deep appreciation for poetic rhythm and narrative depth. This work not only serves as a gateway to Welsh mythology but also situates itself within the broader literary context of 19th-century American romanticism, where a revival of interest in folklore and medieval literature was gaining prominence. Sidney Lanier, an accomplished poet and musician, was deeply influenced by the themes of heroism, chivalry, and the natural world. His own experiences as a soldier during the Civil War and a profound appreciation for Southern culture permeated his writing, with a particular affinity for the romantic ideals and ethical quandaries depicted in folklore. Lanier's dedication to crafting narratives that resonate with both youthful imagination and moral inquiry is evident throughout the work. This book is highly recommended for readers of all ages, especially those interested in folklore, heroism, and the cultural richness of Wales. Lanier's enchanting prose not only entertains but also fosters a lasting appreciation for legendary tales and their underlying moral lessons in an accessible format.

    Derelict by Alan E. Nourse - What was the mystery of this great ship from the dark, deep reaches of space? For, within its death-filled chambers—was the avenue of life! 
    John Sabo, second in command, sat bolt upright in his bunk, blinking wide-eyed at the darkness. The alarm was screaming through the Satellite Station, its harsh, nerve-jarring clang echoing and re-echoing down the metal corridors, penetrating every nook and crevice and cubicle of the lonely outpost, screaming incredibly through the dark sleeping period. Sabo shook the sleep from his eyes, and then a panic of fear burst into his mind. The alarm! Tumbling out of his bunk in the darkness, he crashed into the far bulkhead, staggering giddily in the impossible gravity as he pawed about for his magnaboots, his heart pounding fiercely in his ears. The alarm! Impossible, after so long, after these long months of bitter waiting— In the corridor he collided with Brownie, looking like a frightened gnome, and he growled profanity as he raced down the corridor for the Central Control. 
    Frightened eyes turned to him as he blinked at the bright lights of the room. The voices rose in a confused, anxious babble, and he shook his head and swore, and ploughed through them toward the screen. "Kill that damned alarm!" he roared, blinking as he counted faces. "Somebody get the Skipper out of his sack, pronto, and stop that clatter! What's the trouble?"

    In a world of flight, he was born wingless. But that’s the least of his problems. 
    Since being orphaned at a young age, wingless sprite Asher Songfeather has been sure of one thing: Bat sprites aren’t to be trusted. The fact that his own mother was one is something Asher does his best to forget. 
    But when his adoptive sister Carinen falls deathly ill, he’ll risk anything to save her—even if it means striking a bargain with a mysterious Bat sprite newcomer. The deal sends Asher on a perilous quest into the heart of the Bat Colony itself, where nothing is as it first appears. Saving his sister will require more than just courage and wits. It will take trust, too. 
    And Asher will have to rethink everything he knows about Bat sprites—including himself.
