Sinossi

In "Dick Onslow Among the Redskins," William Henry Giles Kingston crafts an exhilarating adventure that captures the spirit of exploration and the complexities of intercultural encounters in the 19th century. Kingston'Äôs prose is vivid and energetic, transporting readers into the heart of the American wilderness, where the protagonist, Dick Onslow, encounters both the challenges of survival and the richness of Native American culture. This work is a prime example of the era's children'Äôs literature that combines thrilling narratives with moral lessons, reflecting contemporary sentiments about empire and adventure. Kingston, a British author renowned for his works aimed at young audiences, drew inspiration from his own experiences at sea and his interests in far-flung cultures. His career spanned various genres, but his knack for weaving tales of adventure speaks to a deep-seated fascination with exploration, which likely influenced his portrayal of the groundbreaking and often fraught interactions between settlers and Native tribes. Kingston'Äôs background in maritime activities lends authenticity to the perilous exploits experienced by Dick Onslow. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate classic tales of adventure and wish to immerse themselves in a vibrant narrative that challenges perceptions of cultural encounters. Kingston'Äôs engaging storytelling and keen observations make "Dick Onslow Among the Redskins" a worthy addition to any young reader'Äôs library, offering not just entertainment, but a bridge to understanding historical contexts.

    When a K-pop boy band shows up to “save Christmas,” it’s the last straw! 
    Santa Claus may be getting older, achier, more forgetful over the years, but he is determined to prove to the world he can still do his job without anyone’s help. 
    “On Dasher, on Dancer, on Cupid, on Comet, I must show the world that Santa’s still got it!” 
    Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Maher and New Yorker cartoonist Joe Dator have given the timeless tale of saving Christmas a clever twist when Santa decides to save the day himself this year. What follows is a laugh-out-loud adventure about refusing help. 
    Will old Saint Nick discover the true meaning of Christmas? Or will he ruin everyone’s holiday because he’s too stubborn to admit when he’s wrong?
