Kittyleen Flaxie Frizzle Stories - A Whimsical Adventure Through Timeless Tales and Childhood Magic

Sophie May

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Kittyleen. Flaxie Frizzle Stories," Sophie May weaves a charming tapestry of childhood adventures centered around two spirited young girls, Flaxie Frizzle and her friend Kittyleen. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, this collection of interlinked stories is marked by May's distinctive narrative style, which combines a vibrant use of dialogue with richly detailed descriptions that evoke the innocence and mischief of youth. The stories explore themes of friendship, social class, and the trials of growing up, all infused with an underlying sense of humor and light-heartedness that befriends the reader'Äôs imagination. Sophie May, a pioneer of children'Äôs literature in America, was known for her ability to capture the nuances of childhood experience. Having written extensively for young audiences, her stories often draw from her observations of societal norms and the rich tapestry of children's lives during her era. Her background, with its influences of family values and the changing cultural landscape of the post-Civil War United States, informed her poignant portrayals of youth. I highly recommend "Kittyleen. Flaxie Frizzle Stories" to educators, parents, and anyone with a fondness for nostalgic literature. May's work not only offers entertainment but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding societal norms and childhood experiences of her time, making it a delightful read for both young and adult audiences.

Rocket Summer

Ray Bradbury

Rocket Summer by Rad Bradbury - The first great rocket flight into space, bearing intrepid pioneers to the Moon. The world's ecstasy flared into red mob-hate when President Stanley canceled the flight. How did he get that way?
The crowd gathered to make a curious noise this cold grey morning before the scheduled Birth. They arrived in gleaming scarlet tumble-bugs and yellow plastic beetles, yawning and singing and ready. The Birth was a big thing for them.
He stood alone up in his high office tower window, watching them with a sad impatience in his grey eyes. His name was William Stanley, president of the company that owned this building and all those other work-hangars down on the tarmac, and all that landing field stretching two miles off into the Jersey mists. William Stanley was thinking about the Birth.
The Birth of what? Stanley's large, finely sculptured head felt heavier, older. Science, with a scalpel of intense flame would slash wide the skulls of engineers, chemists, mechanics in a titanic Caesarian, and out would come the Rocket!
"Yezzir! Yezzir!" he heard the far-off, faint and raucous declarations of the vendors and hawkers. "Buy ya Rocket Toys! Buy ya Rocket Games! Rocket Pictures! Rocket soap! Rocket teethers for the tiny-tot! Rocket, Rocket, Rocket! Hey!"
Shutting the open glassite frame before him, his thin lips drew tight. Morning after morning America sent her pilgrims to this shrine. They peered in over the translucent restraint barrier as if the Rocket were a caged beast.
He saw one small girl drop her Rocket toy. It shattered, and was folded under by the moving crowd's feet.
"Mr. Stanley?"
"Uh? Oh, Captain Greenwald. Sorry. Forgot you were here." Stanley measured his slow, thoughtful steps to his clean-topped desk. "Captain," he sighed wearily, "you're looking at the unhappiest man alive."
