Sinossi

In "Marcus; or, The Boy-Tamer," Walter Aimwell presents a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of childhood and the journey to maturity. Set within a richly drawn backdrop, the novel delves into themes of authority, rebellion, and the transformative power of leadership, all rendered through a vivid literary style that combines engaging dialogue with descriptive realism. Aimwell's keen observations of societal norms and the tensions between youthful exuberance and adult expectations resonate deeply with readers, inviting them to reflect on the dynamics of growing up in a constraining environment. Walter Aimwell, a prominent 19th-century author, was known for his insightful portrayals of youth and societal influences. His own experiences as a teacher and observer of children likely informed his understanding of the struggles faced by young individuals. The author'Äôs pedagogical background, combined with a passion for social commentary, culminated in this work that not only entertains but also serves as an exploration of moral and personal development. Aimwell's narratives often reflect a critical view of education and its societal implications, lending depth to his characters' journeys. "Marcus; or, The Boy-Tamer" is an essential read for those interested in the intricacies of childhood development and the social structures that shape it. Aimwell invites readers to empathize with the trials of youth, making this novel a thought-provoking addition to both literary and pedagogical discussions. Its timeless themes continue to resonate, making it a valuable exploration for anyone intrigued by the psychology of growing up.

    We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
    As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
    Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
    **Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
    We are a circus.
    Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
    (Fortunately means "happiness")
    We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!
    
    I am kidding. Animals would never do this.

    The Story of Little Boy Blue -...

    "Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, 
    The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn; 
    Where's the little boy that minds the sheep? 
    He's under the haystack, fast asleep!" 
    So what is this all about? Why is he asleep? Is he just lazy or is there a good reason for this? That wonderful storyteller Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, tells us the delightful story behind this little rhyme and we all will feel much better knowing that the little boy had excellent reasons to be asleep that morning. Listen and enjoy the whole nifty story. Many of our most loved nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.
