Sinopse

In "Jimmy Boy," Sophie May weaves a poignant narrative that explores the dynamics of adolescence, identity, and the trials of growing up. Set against the backdrop of a small town, the story follows young Jimmy as he navigates the complexities of friendship and the hurdles posed by societal expectations. May's prose is both evocative and accessible, marked by vivid imagery and a keen understanding of the emotional turbulence that defines youth. Her ability to balance humor with deeper themes creates a text that resonates with a broad audience, making it a useful study for those interested in children's literature and the evolution of social themes in the 19th century. Sophie May, a prominent figure in the literary landscape of the 19th century, often wrote with a focus on children's experiences and the moral lessons they encompass. Her own upbringing as a woman in a male-dominated literary world deeply influenced her outlook and storytelling. By drawing from her life experiences and the societal mores of her time, May crafted tales that not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful dialogue among young readers. "Jimmy Boy" is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek to gain insight into the formative years of adolescence. May'Äôs work invites contemplation on the joys and struggles of youth, making it an invaluable addition to both personal and educational reading lists. An engaging and thought-provoking text, it serves as a gateway into the rich tradition of children's literature.

    "A dragon darkens our dells. A witch haunts our woods. Bandits roam our moors" . . . King Stromgard swept on. "In the tradition of so many monarchs, I offer my daughter's hand in marriage and half my kingdom to the prince who can rid us of these evils, restoring peace and prosperity to our realm."And so the contest in the Kingdom of Greeve begins. But Princess Margaret is not your traditional princess. Meg firmly objects to her parents' giving her away, and she certainly has no intention of remaining in the tower where she is sequestered. Instead, she sets out to win the contest herself by enlisting the help of her good friend, her loyal maid, an eager guardsman, a young wizard, and a tenacious witch. Does Meg find her distinct place in the kingdom, or is she doomed to fulfill her royal duties?Kate Coombs weaves a magical tale full of pesky princes, enchanted frogs, a beady-eyed scarf, and invisibility juice – a tale of wonder, but a story familiar to all who struggle to find their own place in the world.The Runaway Princess is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

    "Let me say at the outset that this book is not about Bear (he would be spoken of in the singular and masculine, capitalized and without an article), or it is only incidentally about him. I am less interested in defining the being of Bear than in trying to understand something about the spirit of wilderness, of which Bear is a very particular expression . . . Bear is a template of the wilderness."—from the Introduction 
     
     
     
    Since receiving the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his novel House Made of Dawn, N. Scott Momaday has had one of the most remarkable careers in twentieth-century American letters. Here, in In the Bear's House, Momaday passionately explores themes of loneliness, sacredness, and aggression through his depiction of Bear, the one animal that has both inspired and haunted him throughout his lifetime. 
     
     
     
    With transcendent dignity and gentleness, In the Bear's House celebrates Momaday's extraordinary creative vision and his evolution as one of our most gifted artists.
