Gullivers
Travels
Author:
Jonathan Swift
Literature / Classics / Criticism
Description:
This masterpiece tells the incredible tale of Lemuel
Gulliver, an English ship's surgeon. He is shipwrecked
upon the shores of Lilliput, where the residents are
only six inches high, then additional journeys take
him to the land of Brobdingnag, populated by giants,
a floating island in the sky, and a land where horses
have intelligence and man lives as a beast. His adventures,
while read by children as an adventure story, are a
devastating satire of society and human foibles. Part
travelogue, part realism, part symbolism, "Gulliver's
Travels" remains a treasured classic of literature.

Description:
No one can think of a child and a story, without thinking
of the fairy tale. Is this, as some would have us believe,
a bad habit of an ignorant old world? Or can the Fairy
Tale justify her popularity with truly edifying and
educational results? Is she a proper person to introduce
here, and what are her titles to merit?

Description:
My mission done, I ran back, skipping and jumping with
delight. All out of breath, I told my mother almost
the exact words of the answers to my invitation. Frequently
she asked, "What were they doing when you entered
their tepee?" This taught me to remember all I
saw at a single glance. Often I told my mother my impressions
without being questioned.

Why Stories
Author:
Frank Bird Linderman,
Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
Old-man then dried the dirt in his hands, rubbing it
slowly and singing a queer song. Finally it was dry;
then he settled the hand that held the dirt in the water
slowly, until the water touched the dirt. The dry dirt
began to whirl about and then Old-man blew upon it.
Hard he blew and waved his hands, and the dirt began
to grow in size right before their eyes. Old-man kept
blowing and waving his hands until the dirt became real
land, and the trees began to grow. So large it grew
that none could see across it. Then he stopped his blowing
and sang some more.

Joan
of Arc
Author:
M. Boutet De Monvel
Description:
Joan has a unique role in Western imagination--she is
one of the few true female heroes. Marina Warner uses
her superb historical and literary skills to move beyond
conventional biography and to capture the essence of
Joan of Arc, both as she lived in her own time and as
she has "grown" in the human imagination over
the five centuries since her death. She has examined
the court documents from Joan of Arc's 1431 Inquisition
trial for heresy and woven the facts together with an
analysis of the histories, biographies, plays, and paintings
and sculptures that have appeared over time to honor
this heroine and symbol of France's nationhood. Warner
shows how the few facts that are known about the woman
Joan have been shaped to suit the aims of those who
have chosen her as their hero. The book places Joan
in the context of the mythology of the female hero and
takes note of her historical antecedents, both pagan
and Christian and the role she has played up to the
present as the embodiment of an ideal, whether as Amazon,
saint, child of nature, or personification of virtue.

as it had begun, the storm let up and the sun began
to peep forth from between the scattering clouds.
