Sinopse

In "Follow My Leader: The Boys of Templeton," Talbot Baines Reed masterfully weaves a narrative that immerses readers in the life of a young boy navigating the complexities of childhood and adolescence. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, this novel combines adventure and moral lessons, employing a lively, accessible prose style that engages both young readers and adults alike. Reed'Äôs deft characterization and rich descriptions portray the camaraderie and mischief of a group of boys at Templeton, simultaneously reflecting the social norms and values of the period, particularly concerning leadership, loyalty, and personal growth. Talbot Baines Reed was a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 19th century, known for his keen understanding of boys' lives and the challenges they faced. His background in teaching and his experiences with youth culture informed his storytelling, guiding readers through moral quandaries and adventurous escapades, a blend that was both instructive and entertaining. Reed'Äôs upbringing and educational pursuits likely shaped his advocacy for adventure and self-discovery within the framework of societal expectations. This enchanting tale not only chronicles the adventures of its youthful protagonists but also serves as a profound exploration of moral integrity and personal responsibility. "Follow My Leader" is a delightful read for anyone seeking to understand the core values of youth during the era or relive the innocence of childhood through a beautifully crafted narrative.

    “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”  
    - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
    “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
    “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”

    “Momaday must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary writers.”—American Scholar 
    From Pulitzer Prize winner and revered literary master N. Scott Momaday, a beautiful and enchanting new poetry collection, at once a celebration of language, imagination, and the human spirit. 
    “Language and the imagination work hand in hand, and together they enable us to reveal us to ourselves in story. That is indeed a magical process. . . . We imagine and we dream, and we translate our dreams into language.” —from the Preface 
    A singular voice in American letters, Momaday’s love of language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new collection comprising one hundred sketches or “dream drawings”—furnishings of the mind—as he calls them. Influenced by his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions, here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters, as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday’s extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and the transformative power of his writing.  
    Poignant, inspired, and timeless, this is a collection that will nourish the soul.
