Book excerpt: The Snowlygaster By Donna Tisdale Once a long time ago, beyond the two bluest mountains on the horizon, down Misty Lane that led between two giant hemlock trees, there lay a beautiful meadow. And in this meadow there lived a Snowlygaster. He was as big as a house, as high as a house, as long as a house, and as wide as a house. Never was there another animal as big as the Snowlygaster. He had two heads! One like a horse's head with soft brown eyes and a flowing white mane. One like a dragon's head with flashing blue eyes and covered with green scales. This head breathed fire from its nose and mouth. No animal was ever kinder than the Snowlygaster’s horse head. And none was ever more ferocious than the green dragon head. Now the Snowlygaster had eight legs, four like a horse's legs, and four like a dragon's legs. When he drew up his dragon legs and ran on his horse's legs, he could go faster than the wind. But when he drew up his horse's legs and stood on his dragon legs, the wind stopped. The earth held its breath. So powerful was the Snowlygaster on his dragon legs that he could lick any beast that lived then, or lives now, or ever will live!

Book excerpt: Beautiful early writings by one of the 20th century’s greatest poets on the 150th anniversary of his birth A Penguin Classic The poems, prose, and drama gathered in When You Are Old present a fresh portrait of the Nobel Prize–winning writer as a younger man: the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote heartrending poems for his beloved, the beautiful, elusive Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne. Included here are such celebrated, lyrical poems as “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” and “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven,” as well as Yeats’s imaginative retellings of Irish fairytales—including his first major poem, “The Wanderings of Oisin,” based on a Celtic fable—and his critical writings, which offer a fascinating window onto his artistic theories. Through these enchanting works, readers will encounter Yeats as the mystical, lovelorn bard and Irish nationalist popular during his own lifetime. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Book Synopsis The Wise Old Man by : Pieter Middelkoop
Download or read book The Wise Old Man written by Pieter Middelkoop and published by Shambhala. This book was released on 1989-11-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inner world of the imagination, with its own unique events and cast of characters, is active in most people, but many lose touch with it in their absorption with external life. Pieter Middlekoop shows how this dreamlike inner world can be entered deliberately while awake in order to gain self-knowledge and resolve conflicts. The book presents accounts of several people who entered the imaginal world by means of a technique called Imagination Therapy, which Middlekoop developed as a variation of C. G. Jung's Active Imagination. In a series of "imaginations," they encounter their joys and sorrows, their anxieties, their problems with relationships—and also the keys to solving their difficulties. During the course of therapy it becomes clear that there is an active center within the personality that communicates to the conscious self in the symbolic language of imagery. Often personified in fantasies and dreams as the archetypal Wise Old Man, this inner source of wisdom guides the individual to healing and wholeness.

Book Synopsis The Awakening by : Silvia González Guirado
Download or read book The Awakening written by Silvia González Guirado and published by Play Attitude. This book was released on 2013-02-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommended Age: From 9 to 99 years old. From the moment they were conceived in the mind of a writer, Bella and Griselda have been doomed to live out their days as mere characters in a book. One day, they decide to wrest control of their lives—if only for a day and a half—and, in so doing, risk changing their fates forever... The Awakening is the story of their adventure, the story of two princesses who rebel against the canons of their fairy-tale world and set out in search of their dreams. On the way, they learn new lessons, discover their true selves, and inspire others to change. The story of Bella and Griselda is the story of us all, of what we should do each and every day: open our eyes wide and live in accordance with what we are and what we feel, not with arbitrary conventions and mores. It is a charming, fun and defiant tale of friendship for anyone looking to cast off stereotypes and clichés and realize that we are so much more than the princes and princesses that populate the fiction of our childhoods and continue to be held up as role models even when we are adults. This book is part of the Forgotten Colors collection. A share of the proceeds from its sale will be donated to the NGO Children of India.
