| This was another nice listing of recommended books. There were many books to choose from, such as Anne of Green Gables, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Missing May, and so much more! There are summaries for each book, along with the number of pages, the author, year it was published, and the genre or subject. My only complaint is that the book does not divide the book into specific categories. For example, there will be a chapter called "Moving On: Books for Ages 10 and Up", but it's not ... Read More: |

| When David Macaulay published "Cathedral" in 1973 it was an instant classic of children's literate. It has sold thousands of copies, never been out of print and has been translated into numerous languages. Macaulay followed the success of "Cathederal" with a number of highly successful books that followed the life cycles of buildings. Macaulay's pen and ink books have developed quite a dedicated following over the years.
"Building the Book Cathedral" was published on the Twenty Fifth ... Read More: |

| 176.The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove: The Religious Meaning of the Grimms' Magic Fairy Tales by: G. Ronald Murphy July 20, 2000 |

| I was given a selection regarding "Hansel And Gretel" from this book for my German Fairy Tales, Folktales, and Fables course. I was very impressed by Murphy's work. What was so fascinating was the use of the Grimm's VERY OWN notes in regards to the story being used as an allegory for spiritual maturation into the Christian faith. He never implies that the tales had a Christian origin, but he does explain clearly how the Grimm brothers took the tales and made them personal expressions of faith by using ... Read More: |

|
| As a self-proclaimed James Barrie freak, I've read numerous books and newspaper-magazine articles about him. The Barrie chapter in Inventing Wonderland is definetly one of the most informative, but it loses a few points in the entertainment department. I read the Carroll, Barrie, and Milne chapters and thought that Jackie Wullschlager tends to examine her subjects a little too closely. At times, her meaning becomes lost in a pile of pop psychobabble, but the overall impressions were very clear (especially Carroll's ... Read More: |

| Did you know Winnie is short for Winnipeg? And that Winnie the bear started his life as an orphan and friend of the Canadian Military? These and other little known details in the life of the "real" Winnie are revealed page by page in this delightful biography. I have enjoyed using it for years in Storytime on the anniversary of A.A. Milne's birth -- and I hope you will find a place for it, too! |

| I always wondered why someone would use a name that started with initials. This and other interesting facts are explained in this book by Sean Smith about the life of JK Rowling. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter series this book would be an enjoyable read. |
