Download or read book The Giant Crab and Other Tales from Old India - Illustrated by W. Heath Robinson written by W. H. D. Rouse and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This whimsical collection of tales is based on the Buddhist collection of Jātaka tales. However, the author confesses to ‘ruthlessly’ altering them for the amusement of children and occasionally borrowing a ‘phrase or a versicle’. He opens the book with a warning; “To this work I refer all scholars, folklorists and scientific persons generally: warning them that if they plunge deeper into these page, they will be horribly shocked.” These wonderful tales are accompanied by many beautiful and intricate black and white illustrations by W. Heath Robinson. An English cartoonist and illustrator, best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines – for achieving deceptively simple objectives. Such was (and is) his fame, that the term ‘Heath Robinson’ entered the English language during the First World War, as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance. Originally published in 1897, we are now republishing it here as part of our ‘Pook Press’ imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children’s literature.

This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first collection by W. H. D. Rouse of 28 charming folk tales from India. The book is illustrated with 51 pen and ink drawings by – W. Heath Robinson, who is more famous for his illustrations of elaborate machines than he is for illustrations of children’s books. Herein you will find stories like: The Giant Crab, The Hypocritical Cat, The Crocodile And The Monkey, The Wise Parrot And The Foolish Parrot The Dishonest Friend The Mouse And The Farmer The Talkative Tortoise The Goblin And The Sneeze The Foolish Farmer And The King The Pious Wolf Birds Of A Feather The King’s Lesson; plus many, many more. Be sure to check out “The Giant Crab Children's Colouring Book” in which all 51 images can be found. Instead of being a single-use colouring book, this book is multi-use allowing you print, and reprint images, as much as you, and your children, like. It can be downloaded at https://goo.gl/2aB9R1 But be warned, this book was compiled in a time long before political correctness had been thought of, and the stories are from well before this time as well. These stories were told to teach children the consequences of behaving well or breaking the law. While not all those who broke the law paid the ultimate price, some did, but most got off with a warning after being found out. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Giant Crab, India, folklore, fairy tales, W H D Rouse, old India, illustrations, Heath Robinson, Giant Crab, Other Stories, Hypocritical Cat, Crocodile and the Monkey, Axe, the Drum the Bowl and the Diamond, Wise Parrot and the Foolish Parrot, Dishonest Friend, Mouse and the Farmer, Talkative Tortoise, Monkeys and the Gardener, Goblin, Sneeze, Grateful Beasts, Ungrateful Prince, Goblin in the Pool, Foolish Farmer, King, Pious Wolf, Birds of a Feather, Spend a Pound, Win a Penny, Cunning Crane, Giant Crab, Union is Strength, Silence is Golden, Great Yellow King, Porter, Quail, Falcon, Pride, Fall, Bold Beggar, Jackal Would A-Wooing Go, Lion, Boar, Goblin City, Lacknose, King’s Lesson

Download or read book The Fairy Tale Art of W. Heath Robinson written by and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enchanting volume is a new collection of W. Heath Robinson’s fantastical fairy tale art and children’s book illustrations, produced across a 50-year career during the Golden Age of Illustration. “Your absurd, beautiful drawings . . . give me a particular pleasure of the mind like nothing else in the world” —H. G. Wells, 1914 In honour of W. Heath Robinson’s 150th birthday, this brand new collection features the pioneering artist’s classic fairy tale illustrations. This carefully curated volume presents 100 black and white illustrations and 54 full-colour fairy tale artworks. Each image is presented as a full-page plate and is accompanied by its original caption and publication details. The artist is much-loved for his innovative cartoons of bizarre machinery, and his fairy tale work also displays elements of the fantastical. Robinson’s children’s drawings juxtapose his machinery cartoons. His fairy tale illustrations veer away from the absurd and explore themes of magic and romanticism. The contents of this fairy tale treasury include illustrations from some of the most-adored children's storybooks such as: The Giant Crab (1897), Arabian Nights (1899), The Adventures of Uncle Lubin (1902), Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales (1913), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1914) and many more. Proudly published in a new collection by Pook Press, these wonderful Golden Age illustrations have been collated in a celebration of Robinson’s timeless work. This beautiful volume is not to be missed by fans of W. Heath Robinson and is the perfect gift for fairy tale lovers.

Download or read book Inversion in Modern English written by Heidrun Dorgeloh and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1997-03-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a comprehensive study of the different forms of subject-verb and subject-auxiliary-inversion in Modern English declarative sentences. It treats inversion as a speaker-based decision for reordering within a fairly rigid word order system and identifies the meaning of the construction in terms of point of view and speaker subjectivity. This semantic claim is tested against the occurrence, as well as the absence, of the different forms of inversion in natural discourse. The analysis of the pragmatics and discourse function of inversion is based on the LOB and the Brown corpus and takes into account various textual relations: British and American English, written mode, style, text type, genre. The results suggest a strong affinity with the greater or lesser subjectivity of a text: the construction is a marker of interpersonal meaning. Provided the context is one of relative unexpectedness, it additionally becomes a discourse marker, which points to the limited value of quantitative corpus data in functional syntax.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant origins of Rudyard Kipling's world-famous children's classic From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The Elephant's Child," Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories have delighted readers across the world for more than a century. In this original study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into the writer's life and work--including the tragedy that shadows much of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals' development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals Kipling's public and private lives--and sheds new light on a much-loved and tremendously influential classic.
