Sinopse

In "An Alphabet of Old Friends," Walter Crane masterfully weaves together a delightful exploration of beloved nursery characters, using a playful yet richly illustrative style that captivates both children and adults alike. Each letter of the alphabet introduces iconic figures from traditional tales, paired with Crane's exquisite illustrations that are emblematic of the Victorian aesthetic. This book serves as a cultural repository, reflecting the era's fascination with nostalgia and folklore, all while engaging young readers with its rhythmic prose and vibrant imagery. Walter Crane, a prominent figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, was profoundly influenced by his early exposure to art and literature. His background in design and illustration, combined with his commitment to children's literature, inspired him to create a work that not only entertains but educates. Crane's aim was to instill a love for reading in children, and his whimsical approach to storytelling is a testament to his artistic vision and understanding of childlike wonder. "An Alphabet of Old Friends" is highly recommended for parents, educators, and children alike. This book is not just an alphabet primer; it is a vivid journey through cherished tales, inviting readers to rediscover the magic of old friends and the joys of reading. Embrace the charm of Crane's illustrations and prose as you turn each page into a gateway of imagination.

    The first book in a fantastical series that combines a quest for magic and friendship with Welsh mythology and a pinch of science, all within a contemporary setting. The lake has been calling to twelve-year-old Vivi Conway. On the day she and her Mams will move from Wales to London, she sneaks out to investigate what is calling her there. Instead of a quiet swim, she finds Excalibur (much smaller than she expected), a ferocious monster (much scarier in real life than in her mythology books), a new friend (which she doesn't want at all) called Dara and a ghostly dog named Gelert (who can talk.) Gelert insists that Vivi is part of a magical group of children known as enaids who share the souls of witches from legend and must protect the world from being taken over by the evil King Arawn of the Otherworld. Oh, and now she can magically control water. With a little extra help from spiky Avery and sweet-hearted Chia, Vivi must come to terms with her magical destiny and be brave enough to embrace true friendship.
