Sinopse

In "Alila, Our Little Philippine Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade presents an enchanting narrative that introduces readers to the vivid culture of the Philippines through the eyes of a young protagonist, Alila. This charming children's book weaves rich descriptions and engaging stories, fostering appreciation for the diverse customs and traditions of the Philippine archipelago. Wade's literary style is characterized by her warm, accessible language and the intermingling of storytelling with cultural education, situating the book within the broader context of early 20th-century literature aimed at young readers during a time of increasing interest in global cultures. Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade was an influential figure in children's literature, known for her deep commitment to introducing young readers to the world beyond their immediate surroundings. An early advocate for cultural awareness and understanding, Wade's works often reflect her passion for fostering empathy and curiosity in children. Her explorative writing in "Alila" may have been inspired by the contemporary interest in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War, as American readers sought to connect with distant lands and peoples. "Alila, Our Little Philippine Cousin" is an ideal read for parents and educators aiming to enrich children's understanding of global cultures. It stands as an engaging introduction to the Philippine way of life, encouraging young minds to embrace diversity. Highly recommended for its delightful storytelling and educational value, this book is sure to inspire a lifelong interest in cultural exploration among its readers.

    Drawing on extensive historical and anthropological research, personal accounts, and interviews with people who work in the funeral industry, Penny Colman examines the compelling subjects of death and burial across cultures and societies. The text, enriched with stories both humorous and poignant, includes details about the decomposition and embalming processes (an adult corpse buried six feet deep without a coffin will usually take five to ten years to turn into a skeleton) and describes the various customs associated with containing remains (the Igala people in Nigeria have a custom of burying people in as many as twenty-seven layers of clothing). Intriguing facts are revealed at every turn; for example, in Madagascar winter was considered the corpse-turning season.This comprehensive book also includes a list of burial sites of famous people, images in the arts associated with death, fascinating epitaphs and gravestone carvings, a chronology and a glossary, and over a hundred black-and-white photographs, most of which were taken by the author.Penny Colman writes with compassion and intelligence and humanizes the difficult subjects of death and burial. The result is a powerful look at an inevitable part of life--death.

    Conan swallowed hard. The creature stood taller than the archway, a silhouette of darkness against the spiral of light behind it … And it looked directly at him.
    Jack and Conan's friendship is officially dead. Stuck in detention with Yash and Jerry after an all-out brawl in the toilet, it's a terrible start to sixth class. And that's before they witness a monstrous beast step out of a portal outside their school. When it wanders into the crumbling mansion across the road, where the sinister Mr Kilroe lives, the boys follow. They have to investigate, right?
    Unlocking Mr Kilroe's secrets is only the beginning. Because there's more than one otherworldly horror hiding in that house and confronting it will put Jack and Conan in mortal danger – that's if they don't kill each other first!
