Sinossi

In 'The Young Llanero,' William Henry Giles Kingston crafts a compelling adventure that explores themes of identity, bravery, and the wildness of the South American plains. Set against the backdrop of the Llanos, the narrative follows the courageous young protagonist as he navigates the challenges of a vibrant yet perilous landscape. Kingston's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling style reflect the influences of 19th-century adventure literature, drawing readers into a world where the natural environment is as formidable as the societal tensions faced by the characters. The novel intertwines action with moral lessons, typical of Kingston's works, fostering a spirit of exploration and heroism. William Henry Giles Kingston, a British author born in 1814, is renowned for his contributions to children's literature and adventure narratives. His personal experiences as a sailor and traveler informed his rich depictions of life in foreign lands. Kingston's profound fascination with the cultures and peoples he encountered is palpable in 'The Young Llanero,' as he weaves authentic details into his storytelling, thus providing a lens into the historical and cultural nuances of Venezuela during the 19th century. Readers seeking a thrilling yet educational adventure will find 'The Young Llanero' an enriching experience. Kingston's ability to blend adventure with moral integrity makes this book not only enjoyable but also significant in understanding the era's literary context. It is a timeless tale that appeals to both young and mature audiences, offering insight into courage and cultural understanding.

    In The Lightlings, Dr. R.C. Sproul weaves an allegorical tale that captures the essence of the biblical story of redemption in a manner that will fascinate and delight children. A race of tiny beings known as lightlings are a picture of humanity as they pass through all the stages of the biblical drama – creation, fall, and redemption. In the end, children will understand why some people fear light more than darkness, but why they need never fear darkness again.The Lightlings is an excellent introduction to the key themes of Scripture. Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard will hold children’s interest, and discussion questions with Scripture references in the back will help parents guide children into the deeper meaning of the story.
