Sinopsis

In 'The Red Book of Heroes,' Mrs. Lang crafts a captivating tapestry of folklore and mythology, weaving together tales from various cultures that celebrate bravery, virtue, and heroism. Each story unfolds with a vivid narrative style, employing rich imagery and rhythmic prose that engage readers of all ages. The book serves as a remarkable reflection of early 20th-century literature, where the exploration of identity and moral fortitude was paramount, encouraging young readers to recognize the heroic potential within themselves amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. Mrs. Lang, a prolific Scottish author and translator, was deeply influenced by her childhood fascination with stories and legends. With a background in classics and anthropology, she sought to preserve and promote mythological tales that might otherwise fade from collective memory. Her commitment to children's literature and cross-cultural storytelling is evident in 'The Red Book of Heroes,' which draws on her extensive research and travels, bringing forth characters that inspire courage and resilience. This anthology is an essential read for anyone seeking to ignite a love for storytelling in children or adults, as it not only entertains but imparts valuable moral lessons. Readers will find themselves immersed in the rich history of heroes, making it a perfect addition to both personal and academic collections.

    Ratatouille meets Broadway in this charming new middle grade novel about a little mouse with big dreams.  Lulu is a little girl with a very big dream: she wants to be on Broadway. She wants it more than anything in the world. As it happens, she lives in Broadway's Shubert Theatre; so achieving her dream shouldn't be too tricky, right? Wrong. Because the thing about Lulu? She's a little girl mouse. When a human girl named Jayne joins the cast of the show at the Shubert as an understudy, Lulu becomes Jayne's guide through the world of her theatre and its wonderfully kooky cast and crew. Together, Jayne and Lulu learn that sometimes dreams turn out differently than we imagined; sometimes they come with terms and conditions (aka the company mean girl, Amanda). But sometimes, just when we've given up all hope, bigger and better dreams than we'd ever thought could come true, do.
