Summary

In "The Silver Crown: Another Book of Fables," Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards presents a captivating collection of original fables that weave moral lessons into enchanting narratives. Employing a lyrical and accessible style, Richards draws upon the rich tradition of fable writing, reminiscent of Aesop and La Fontaine, while infusing her own unique voice and perspective. The book deftly explores themes of virtue, justice, and the complexity of human emotion, aiming to teach young readers important life lessons through imaginative storytelling and memorable characters, appealing both to children and the child in every adult. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, an esteemed poet, novelist, and author of children's literature, was deeply influenced by her familial ties to the literary world. Growing up in a household that valued creativity and learning, she was inspired by her mother, who was a notable figure in the Boston literary scene, and her own passion for writing blossomed early. This background informed her desire to connect with younger audiences, instilling ethical values and encouraging compassion through her stories and characters. Recommended for readers of all ages, "The Silver Crown" serves as an excellent gateway into the world of fables for the modern reader while preserving the timeless essence of moral storytelling. Its engaging prose and poignant lessons make it a delightful addition to the library of anyone who cherishes the wisdom imparted through fables.

    Some folks just prefer to stay home. You know them - whole families who politely decline invitations because they don't spend money on fancy clothes, don't care for "small talk". And they certainly don't dance. They're just not "party people".
Meet an earnest first-grader, intent upon convincing his hill-country parents that other children are treated to a party each year on their birthday, that they invite friends, eat cake - and receive presents.

Meet also his equally intent mother, who is determined not to open this can of worms, not with the 128 cousins who might start doing the same thing. Both of them step out of this luminous story that turns the concept of "good neighbors" upside down.
