Sinopse

In "A Winter Nosegay: Being Tales for Children at Christmastide," Walter Crane weaves together a delightful tapestry of enchanting stories specifically crafted for the festive season. Emblematic of the Victorian era, Crane's literary style combines whimsy and moral undertones, with rich illustrations that captivate the imagination of both children and adults. Through themes of generosity, joy, and the spirit of Christmas, the book reflects the era's burgeoning interest in childhood as a unique and innocent stage of life, while also addressing the desires of a middle-class audience seeking wholesome entertainment during the holiday season. Walter Crane, an accomplished illustrator and one of the leading figures in the Arts and Crafts Movement, was influenced by his upbringing in a family that celebrated creativity and artistic expression. His passion for both storytelling and visual art is evident, as he blends bright illustrations with charming prose. Crane was not only a performer in the realm of children's literature but also a pioneer advocating for the importance of art in education and the value of children's voices, which shines through in this publication. Recommended for readers of all ages, "A Winter Nosegay" remains a timeless classic that invites its audience to rediscover the joy of storytelling during the Christmas season. Crane's ability to foster a sense of wonder and moral integrity makes this collection essential reading for those who cherish children's literature or wish to relive the magic of Christmas through the written word.

    Summer, the Present 
    Fiery and fierce, computer geek and eco-activist, Abi is holidaying with her grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed and befriended an AI device, Moonlight, she hopes to organise a global protest. On the island, she learns her great-grandfather rejected the family's whaling livelihood, instead creating the first whale song recording.

    The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. Since its original publication, Jumanji has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal and a National Book Award nomination, and, in 1996, the surreal story was adapted for the big screen, followed by a 2017 sequel.

    In The Forgotten Dance, Kara Sparr invites us into a powerful remembering of what was lost when we abandoned the sacred polarity between the masculine and feminine. Weaving cultural critique, ancestral wisdom, this book explores how modern society has eroded our connection to identity, intimacy, and purpose and how we might rebuild. With clarity, tenderness, and courage, Kara reclaims motherhood, reveres fatherhood, and reimagines love not as performance, but as devotion. This is not a call to go back, it’s a call to return: to essence, to soul, and to the sacred rhythm that once bound us to each other.
