Summary

Sophie May'Äôs "Little Pitchers: Flaxie Frizzle Stories" embarks on a whimsical journey into the life of Flaxie Frizzle, a spirited young girl whose adventures vividly capture the essence of childhood. Composed in a charming, accessible prose style, May employs rich descriptions and lively dialogue to immerse readers in Flaxie'Äôs world, touching upon themes of friendship, curiosity, and the trials of growing up. Within the broader context of 19th-century children'Äôs literature, May's work stands out for its ability to delicately balance humor and moral lessons, often reflecting the societal expectations of young girls during this period while still allowing for imaginative exploration and personal growth. Sophie May, a prominent figure in children'Äôs literature, wrote under a pseudonym and was influenced by her own experiences of childhood and education. A native of the American Northeast, May was dedicated to portraying relatable characters and realistic scenarios in her stories, fostering a connection between young readers and the narratives they encountered. Her passion for educating children can be felt throughout "Little Pitchers," showcasing her belief in the transformative power of books. I wholeheartedly recommend "Little Pitchers: Flaxie Frizzle Stories" to anyone interested in classic children'Äôs literature or seeking an entertaining yet meaningful read for young audiences. May'Äôs ability to captivate imaginations while imparting invaluable life lessons makes this collection an enriching addition to both personal and educational libraries.

    The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe - A man and his cat. A bond… broken. Then came the madness. 
For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not—and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified—have tortured—have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but horror—to many they will seem less terrible than barroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place—some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects. 
From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions. I was especially fond of animals, and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when feeding and caressing them. This peculiarity of character grew with my growth, and in my manhood, I derived from it one of my principal sources of pleasure. To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
