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.

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.

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.

Monsieur De La Petite Dame
Author:

Fiction / General
Excerpt:
Oh! returned Renard, shrugging his shoulders,
"we did not give it to him. It was an awkward
servant who dubbed him so at first. She was
new to her position, and forgot his name, and
being asked who had arrived, stumbled upon this
bon mot: Un monsieur, Madame -- le monsieur
de la petite dame, ' -- and, being repeated
and tossed lightly from hand to hand, it has
become at last an established witticism, albeit
bandied under breath."

Author:

Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
"Nothing in the world is so strong as a
kind heart," according to the author of
Little Lord Fauntleroy, whose other popular
works include A Little Princess and The Secret
Garden. Frances Hodgson Burnett's conviction
that love conquers all is memorably embodied
in this tale of an American boy who is transported
from the mean streets of nineteenth-century
New York to the splendor of his titled grandfather's
English manor. Young Cedric is to be schooled
by the crotchety old Earl in the manners of
the peerage; as it happens, the child teaches
the man some valuable lessons about the true
meaning of nobility. Unabridged republication
of a standard edition.
