Sinopse

Grimms' Fairy Tales, originally known as the Children's and Household Tales (German: Kinder- und Hausmärchen), is a German collection of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, first published on 20 December 1812. Vol. 1 of the first edition contained 86 stories, which were followed by 70 more tales, numbered consecutively, in the 1st edition, Vol. 2, in 1815. By the seventh edition in 1857, the corpus of tales had expanded to 200 tales and 10 "Children's Legends". It is listed by UNESCO in its Memory of the World Registry.Origin:Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two of ten children from Dorothea (née Zimmer) and Philipp Wilhelm Grimm. Philipp was a highly regarded district magistrate in Steinau an der Straße, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Hanau. Jacob and Wilhelm were sent to school for a classical education once they were of age, while their father was working. They were very hard-working pupils throughout their education. They followed in their father's footsteps and started to pursue a degree in law, and German history. In 1796, their father died at the age of 44 from pneumonia. This was a tragic time for the Grimms because the family lost all financial support and relied on their aunt, Henriette Zimmer, and grandfather, Johann Hermann Zimmer. At the age of 11, Jacob was compelled to be head of the household and provide for his family. After downsizing their home because of financial reasons, Henriette sent Jacob and Wilhelm to study at the prestigious high school, Lyzeum, in Kassel. In school, their grandfather wrote to them saying that because of their current situation, they needed to apply themselves industriously to secure their future welfare.

Lizzie the zookeeper has Plum the peacock and his friends loaded in the zoo van to travel to a nearby elementary school to give a presentation. Most of the animals are excited—especially Itch, who has always wanted to share his knowledge with the world. But Plum is nervous. What if he doesn’t like school? What if the students don’t like him? What if he messes up the whole presentation? 
    Then an unexpected blizzard derails the whole trip, and Plum and his friends have to stay overnight in the empty school. They’ll meet new friends, such as the classroom mice who rule the school, and the wise old turtle who supervises the library. And when Itch gets himself into a whole snowdrift of trouble, Plum overcomes his nerves to save the day!

    THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
    Book 6 of 6 The god seed 
    This is the last book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
    The Federation detects a dying star's encoded signal leading to the God-Seed—a cosmic artifact believed to hold the secrets of creation. 
    Discovery & Division: Elurians revere it as divine. Kessari seek to exploit its power.Zorathians suspect a precursor trap. 
    The Awakening: Inside the God-Seed, the team triggers an assessment protocol. The artifact is revealed as the "Arbiter"—a failsafe designed to reset civilizations deemed corrupt. 
    Judgment Day: The precursors emerge, condemning the Federation’s history of war and infighting. Through impassioned appeals, the team argues for their potential to evolve. 
    Verdict:The precursors spare the galaxy but leave the God-Seed active as a warning. The Federation must prove its worth—or face annihilation in the next cycle. 
    Final Hook: *The precursors withdraw, but their prison-homeworld looms in the void. The Federation’s true test has just begun.* 
    I do hope you enjoy this sixth instalment, and it's only $3. 
    The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.  
    The story itself runs to about 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think.
