Sinossi

More than four hundred years ago there lived a diligent man called Sir Thomas Malory, who wrote in English words many of the beautiful Welsh tales about King Arthur's Knights that the people of Wales loved so well. All the stories in this little book were found in Malory's big book, except 'Geraint and Enid.' But it, too, is one of the old Welsh tales that tell of the brave knights and fair ladies of King Arthur's court. Many times, since Sir Thomas Malory wrote his book, have these stories been told again to old and young, but perhaps never before have they been told to the children so simply as in this little book. Contents:
Geraint and Enid
Lancelot and Elaine
Pelleas and Ettarde
Gareth and Lynette
Sir Galahad and the Sacred Cup
The Death of King Arthur

Disponibile da: 27/02/2022.

Pilgrim Codex

Vivian Mansour

For fans of Duncan Tonatiuh and Yuyi Morales' Dreamers, a one-of-a-kind book about one immigrant family's journey north, in the vein of an ancient codex and drawing upon Mesoamerican mythology. 
  
We, the Vargas Ramírez family, come from a faraway place north of Tenochtitlan called Iztapalapa, Land of Clay Upon Water. A land surrounded by cars and dry grass; a place where the pieces of our small world were scattered. For some time we lived there, but then one day my father heard a beautiful birdsong that rose up and appeared to say tihui, tihui, tihui: let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. And so we gathered up our friends who made up that small world and decided to head north, for the other side, and a better life.  
  
Together the Boy and his family will journey from the Land of the Frogs to The Place Where Feet Cry to the River Where the Waters Tangle, fleeing Gunmen and braving Coyotes and plunging darknesses as black as an obsidian forest. Originally published in Mexico, Pilgrim Codex (Códice peregrino) captures through the eyes of a child one family's part in the ever-changing and fleeting story of the brave migrant warriors who search for a better place to live. 
  
★ "Together, word and image work richly together to describe a suspenseful journey of 'many things, terrible and magnificent.'"—Publishers Weekly (starred)

In addition to being the author of two children's collections called "Colección el Mundo Diminuto" and "Colección Chatipan," in 2022 she published two novels, "Los Entresijos de una vida" and "Heridas silenciosas." Both are based on true events that happened to Petry, a Chilean orphan who travels to Spain to find her roots. All books can be found on amazon.com and at the Casa del Tibet Foundation in Barcelona, Rosselló, 181. Information at: https://www.elmundodiminuto.net 
Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is because the Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Help the cause please, by buying a book.
