The history of the little tramp from Victorian London, who experienced all the hardships of wandering life: poverty, fear and loneliness. James Greenwood is not the usual children's author, entertaining children with carefree cheerful stories. In the story “The true history of a little ragamuffin” he shows a different childhood—a bleak existence of a defenseless child, neither having a roof over his head, nor bread for his meals. He has lost his mother early. Fleeing from his stepmother, the boy left the house and lived on the street. There he was forced to scrape for his own food, wandering with other children and spending the nights underground.
The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real is a children's novel written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson. It chronicles the story of a stuffed rabbit and his quest to become real through the love of his owner. The book was first published in 1922 and has been republished many times since.
The Velveteen Rabbit was Williams' first children's book. It has been awarded the IRA/CBC Children's Choice award.[Wiki]
This is one of this author's famous school stories. Like a new boy or girl at a school, you will be faced with learning the names of a great many youngsters, and to an extent, their characters. However, by the time you get half-way through the book you will be familiar enough with the principal characters.
Of course, there are numerous small dramas being acted out as the book proceeds, but the main one concerns a boat-race between two of the Houses. Along the course there is a very tight bend. The boat on the outside of the bend is slightly in the lead but will probably lose this due to the inside boat having less far to travel to the next straight.
At a most crucial moment, when maximum power is being exerted by the cox on the rudder-lines, one of them snaps, and the boat goes out of control. The cox shouts the instructions for an emergency stop, and to back water. The other boat proceeds to the end of the course. It can now be seen that the rudder-line had been deliberately half cut through, so that it would snap at that tight bend on the river.
For the rest of the book people are trying to work out who had done this deed. At one stage we think we know the answer. We become quite convinced we know the answer, in fact. But we are wrong, and we do not find out till almost the end of the book. And it is to be hoped that at that point the promised re-row takes place.
There is some confusion with names in respect of Merrison and Morrison, but I suspect that to be a printer's error. It is not of great importance, since he is (or they are) not front-line characters in the action.
The punctuation becomes very difficult in the reporting of the proceedings of the school parliament, because not only do you have the current speaker, but interspersed with it are comments by the raconteur and by the noisier of the boys. The printed book settled for a simplified version here, but we have done our best to give you a version that is more according to rule.
Erin Hunter’s #1 bestselling Warriors series continues with the second book in the A Vision of Shadows arc.
This hardcover edition also includes a double-sided jacket with a bonus poster!
Nearly a moon has passed since Alderpaw returned from his journey to SkyClan’s gorge, where he found the territory taken over by rogues. Now the same vicious cats that drove out SkyClan have traced Alderpaw’s path back to the lake… and ShadowClan may be the next to fall.
Full of epic adventure and thrilling intrigue, this fifth Warriors series is the perfect introduction for readers new to the Warriors world—while for dedicated fans, it’s a long-awaited return to the era of Bramblestar’s ThunderClan, after the events of Omen of the Stars.
The mountain cats followed the sun trail to a new territory, convinced that in a land with more prey, their lives would be free from strife. But while no cat has gone hungry, tensions are rising. The once firmly united group has split in two—and a young cat named Thunder is caught in the middle of a deeply-rooted struggle for power, territory, and control.

Tims Tālers jeb pārdotie smiekli
Šo notikumu man stāstīja apmēram piecdesmit gadus vecs virs, kas Leipcigā pārraudzīja, tāpat kā es, grāmatas iespiešanu. Galvenais, ka šis vīrs, kaut arī viņam bija pietiekami daudz gadu, vēl varēja smieties tikpat aizrautīgi un sirsnīgi kā desmit gadus vecs zēns. To, kas šis vīrs bija, varu tikai nojaust. Pats stāstītājs un notikumu laiks, tāpat kā dažs labs atgadījums šinī grāmatā, nav noskaidroti. (Tomēr ir iespējams konstatēt, ka stāsta galvenie notikumi risinājušies ap 1930. gadu.) Es vēl gribētu pieminēt, ka šo stāstu rakstīju darba pārtraukumos uz lielu iespiedlokšņu otras puses. Tāpēc grāmata iedalīta loksnēs, kas īstenībā nav nekas cits kā nodaļas. Gribu arī pieminēt, ka šī grāmata, kurā rakstīts par smiekliem, lasītājā neizraisīs daudz smieklu. Turklāt jānorāda arī, ka šis gājiens cauri tumsai apraksta apļus ap gaismu.
