Sinossi

The Empire Annual for Girls, 1911, is an anthology that captures the spirit of early 20th-century literature aimed at young female readers. This collection features a variety of stories, illustrations, and articles that inspire courage, imagination, and resilience, reflecting the socio-cultural values of the Edwardian era. The literary style spans whimsical, moralistic narratives and vibrant illustrations, presenting a rich tapestry of escapism and adventure, while subtly reinforcing traditional gender roles amidst the burgeoning suffrage movement. The anthology, compiled by various contributors, includes prominent writers and illustrators of the time, showcasing women's diverse experiences and aspirations. The context in which this volume was produced is critical, as it reflects an era of transition, where girls began to envision new possibilities beyond domesticity. The authors, likely influenced by the shifting societal norms and emerging literary trends, crafted stories that allowed young readers to explore their identities in a rapidly changing world. This annual is highly recommended for readers interested in children's literature, gender studies, or early 20th-century culture. It serves as both an educational resource and a nostalgic journey, delighting those who seek to understand the aspirations and challenges faced by girls of that period.

    These are six brilliant and enthralling stories that, while making you both laugh and cry,  also leave you desperate to know what happens next.  A nineteenth-century Ireland is depicted; steeped in the supernatural, it's a place where both humans and fairies collide, both refusing to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.
    
    We witness the friendship between Tipperary farmer Darby O'Gill and King Brian Connors of the Good People grow. These two, who first thought that the differences between them meant that they were forever mortal enemies, later realise that circumstances unite rather than divide them. The stories also celebrate the most powerful fairy of them all, the Banshee, who is not really the scary villain that people sometimes imagine, but rather a career-minded, kind-hearted messenger from the Otherworld.
    
    Brian McManus has made some changes to the original stories to present them to modern readers at their absolute best, while still remaining true to the spirit and intention of Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.
    
    These delightful tales of genuine Irish folklore, full of charm, wittiness, and poignancy, will appeal to children of all ages.

    Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn’t find any. There were surprised when they couldn’t find books that teach kids what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren’t many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.So Rymer decided to write one, and that’s where “The Big Money Squeeze” started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn’t think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!
