Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Simply superb" - Jack Zipes Griffins, wizards, dryads and fairies; banished kings, misguided queens and mysterious bee-men: the curious characters who populated Frank Stockton's fanciful fairy tale worlds once delighted generations of readers on both sides of the Atlantic. When he died in 1902 the New York Times lamented, "It is not easy to imagine any greater loss to American letters." Yet despite his profound significance for the development of the fairy tale, and his direct influence on American fantasy classics like The Wizard of Oz, Frank Stockton's trailblazing stories have fallen out of print. Now, readers young and old can once again enjoy his beloved stories in this new edition of his most celebrated collection, The Bee-Man of Orn and Other Fanciful Tales, first published in 1887 - complete with a biographical introduction which explains Stockton's profound importance to the story of fantasy literature. Edited by Hilary Emmett & Thomas Ruys Smith in collaboration with students from the Department of American Studies at UEA. "Stockton (1834-1902) was one of the first American writers to pioneer unique fantasy tales and novels at the end of the nineteenth century. Influenced by Hans Christian Andersen, he transcended the Danish writer's works, and thanks to the East Anglian collective effort, we can see how significant Stockton's imaginative works are."- Jack Zipes, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota and author of Buried Treasures: The Power of Political Fairy Tales "If you've wept too many tears over the Little Mermaid and if you've spent sleepless nights worrying about evil stepmothers but still long for fairy-tale magic, you're ready to enter Frank Stockton's universe of beekeepers and griffins, dryads and dwarfs. In these kingdoms, everything imaginable goes wrong, and, providentially, the quests and journeys of his characters are designed to make things right again. If you want more intelligent children, ready to think more and think harder about the life choices we make, read them Stockton's fairy tales, stories that create the safe space of "once upon a time" for all generations."- Maria Tatar, Professor Emerita of Folklore and Mythology at Harvard University, author of The Heroine with 1001 Faces and editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Classic Fairy Tales. "This edition will enlighten and entertain readers of classic fairy tales by introducing them to America's Hans Christian Andersen, Frank Stockton. The nine tales, originally published in St Nicholas Magazine in the 1880s, are contextualised by a richly researched introduction that explains how Stockton made a distinctive contribution to American fantasy for both adult and child readers."- Michelle Smith, editor of Literary Cultures and Nineteenth-Century Childhoods

Book Synopsis Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm by : Jerdine Nolen
Download or read book Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm written by Jerdine Nolen and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1994-04-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer, but he didn't farm like my daddy did. He farmed a genuine, U.S. Government Inspected Balloon Farm. So begins this enchanting original tall tale. Set in the rural south and populated with a truly unforgettable cast of characters--including, if you look very carefully, a rabbit, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a cat, a chicken, a cow, and a pig hidden in each remarkable illustration--this is a book that is filled with wonderful impossibilities and magical imagination. Told in the great tradition of summer nights and front porch yarns, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm will lift your spirit right off the ground, just as it does Harvey Potter. Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer but not like any farmer you've ever met. He didn't grow corn, okra, or tomatoes. Harvey Potter grew balloons. No one knew exactly how he did it, but with the help of the light of a full moon, one friendly child catches a peek of just how Harvey Potter does it. And keeps some magic for herself. "This is the best sort of fantasy imaginative, inventive, and believable. Harvey Potter is a wonder he's the owner of a genuine U.S. Government Inspected Balloon farm. And Nolen's tale about this man, narrated by the African-American girl who learns balloon-farming magic from him, is equally wondrous.... This title should sail onto every library shelf. May Nolen grow a bumper crop of books." School Library Journal. "Downright glorious." Publishers Weekly(starred review).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I spent a month of the summer of 188- in Norway-"Old Norway"-and a friend of mine, Dr. John Robson, who is as great a fisherman as he is a physician, and knows that I love a stream where the trout and I can meet each other alone, and have it out face to face, uninterrupted by any interlopers, did me a favor to which I was indebted for the experience related below. He had been to Norway two years before, and he let me into the secret of an unexplored region between the Nord Fiord and the Romsdal. I cannot give the name of the place, because even now it has not been fully explored, and he bound me by a solemn promise that I would not divulge it to a single soul, actually going to the length of insisting on my adding a formal oath to my affirmation. This I consented to because I knew that my friend was a humorous man, and also because otherwise he positively refused to inform me where the streams were about which he had been telling such fabulous fish stories. "No," he said, "some of those -- cattle who think they own the earth and have a right to fool women at will and know how to fish, will be poking in there, worrying Olaf and Elsket, and ruining the fishing, and I'll be -- if I tell you unless you make oath." My friend is a swearing man, though he says he swears for emphasis, not blasphemy, and on this occasion he swore with extreme solemnity. I saw that he was in earnest, so made affidavit and was rewarded.
