Synopsis

In "On a Lark to the Planets," Frances Trego Montgomery invites readers on an imaginative cosmic journey that blends elements of adventure and science fiction. With a whimsical narrative style enriched by vivid descriptions and carefully crafted dialogue, Montgomery explores themes of exploration and the human spirit's yearning for the unknown. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the text reflects a burgeoning interest in space exploration during a time when astronomical knowledge was rapidly advancing, making the book a significant cultural artifact of its era. Frances Trego Montgomery, a prominent author of children's literature and an advocate for women's education, drew upon her own experiences and deep curiosity about the universe to craft this engaging narrative. Her extensive travels and diverse interests likely informed her portrayal of fantastical worlds and complex characters. Montgomery's unique perspective as a female writer in a male-dominated field offers a lens through which to understand not only the technical aspects of astronomy but also the spiritual dimensions of discovery. Readers of all ages are encouraged to embark on this delightful journey filled with imagination, humor, and insight. "On a Lark to the Planets" richly rewards those seeking both entertainment and a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos, making it a timeless addition to speculative fiction.

A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.
