Download or read book The Hobgoblins written by Douglas Bond and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hobgoblins is a historical novel on the life and times of John Bunyan, best-selling author of The Pilgrim's Progress. Readers of war stories, accounts of those who suffer under poverty and oppression, books about heroes of history, will find this book fascinating. The story unfolds as written in the persona of Harry Wylie, companion of the rebel John Bunyan, corrupted by the village blasphemer in their youth. Harry gives his unvarnished, eyewitness version of the life of Bunyan, including their youthful pranks in and around 11th century Elstow Abbey, their military service as enlisted teens in the English Civil War, narrow escapes in battle, the great plague and Great Fire of London in 1666, Bunyan's principled stand against civil tyranny, the various trials Bunyan endured before magistrates for unlicensed preaching, his wife Elizabeth's intrepid defense of her husband before the House of Lords, and Bunyan's long imprisonment. Harry in his adulthood has become the county jailer and recounts Bunyan's aversion to restraint of any kind and the twelve long years he spent behind bars in prison. Harry believes people never change, and Bunyan's stand against tyranny he long dismisses as yet another expression of his friend's youthful rebellion. The author creates Bunyan's 17th century voice from The Pilgrim's Progress and other books written by the unlettered village tinker, who remains the best-selling author of all time.

Book Synopsis Miss Thistlebottom's Hobgoblins by : Theodore Menline Bernstein
Download or read book Miss Thistlebottom's Hobgoblins written by Theodore Menline Bernstein and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1971 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old adage, rules are made to be broken has never been as well defended as in MISS THISTLEBOTTOM'S HOBGOBLINS. Throughout the book, Bernstein asserts that we have been indoctrinated with English usage rules that lack flexibility and evoke fear, confusion and frustration in writers. There are times when splitting an infinitive or ending a sentence with a preposition makes sense. Through a series of one-sided correspondences with Bertha Thistlebottom, an archetypal grade school English teacher, Bernstein addresses the community of rule mongering sticklers who have tried to squeeze the English language into a set of inflexible rules and outmoded definitions that only serve to stifle its growth and paralyze writers. In addition to his letters to Miss Thistlebottom, there are scores of entries where Bernstein debunks the rules of yesteryear with wit and intelligence and illustrates how to write effectively -- without the worry of hobgoblins.

Book Synopsis At the Bottom of the Garden by : Diane Purkiss
Download or read book At the Bottom of the Garden written by Diane Purkiss and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Bottom of the Garden is a history of fairies from the ancient world to the present. Steeped in folklore and fantasy, it is a rich and diverse account of the part that fairies and fairy stories have played in culture and society. The pretty pastel world of gauzy-winged things who grant wishes and make dreams come true—as brought to you by Disney's fairies flitting across a woodland glade, or Tinkerbell’s magic wand—is predated by a darker, denser world of gorgons, goblins, and gellos; the ancient antecedents of Shakespeare's mischievous Puck or J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. For, as Diane Purkiss explains in this engrossing history, ancient fairies were born of fear: fear of the dark, of death, and of other great rites of passage, birth and sex. To understand the importance of these early fairies to pre-industrial peoples, we need to recover that sense of dread. This book begins with the earliest manifestations of fairies in ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. The child-killing demons and nymphs of these cultures are the joint ancestors of the medieval fairies of northern Europe, when fairy figures provided a bridge between the secular and the sacred. Fairies abducted babies and virgins, spirited away young men who were seduced by fairy queens and remained suspended in liminal states. Tamed by Shakespeare's view of the spirit world, Victorian fairies fluttered across the theater stage and the pages of children's books to reappear a century later as detergent trade marks and alien abductors. In learning about these often strange and mysterious creatures, we learn something about ourselves—our fears and our desires.

On the first night of Hanukkah, a weary traveler named Hershel of Ostropol eagerly approaches a village, where plenty of latkes and merriment should warm him. But when he arrives not a single candle is lit. A band of frightful goblins has taken over the synagogue, and the villagers cannot celebrate at all! Hershel vows to help them. Using his wits, the clever trickster faces down one goblin after the next, night after night. But can one man alone save Hanukkah and live to tell the tale? Trina Schart Hyman’s leering goblins are equal parts terrifying and ridiculous as they match wits with Hershel, trying to keep him from lighting the menorah and celebrating Hanukkah. This beautiful 25th Anniversary Edition includes an insightful afterword from the author and publisher explaining the book's origins, and remembering Trina Schart Hyman, the illustrator who brought the tale to life. This classic picture book is a perfect Hanukkah gift and a wonderful read-aloud.
