Babble is to speak rapidly and randomly as did the people at the tower of Babel when they lost their ability to speak to one another. Here in my babbling book of poetry I unite together foreign languages of different worlds scattered far and wide To well describe and depict another realm far better than best-“Good, Gooder and Goodest….” A ‘Maguk Kingdom’ of babbling towers, brooks, spires and domes, one of my marvellous stories ‘Maguk World of Princess Cardinal Fairy Alice with her Lil’ cat Papillon pet Fairy Dinah’, falling through an endless Maguk Well, who travel in an ethereal adventure to the bottomless pits of the world in an unparalleled universe beyond countless Giga bytes and Decimbleters (my own made up words of poetic art) including so many funny poems inside short poetry story. One will thoroughly enjoy reading with great gusto and cherishing Alice through another spiritual perspective. Therefore concluding one last example the Hebrew word ‘ayin’ which is not only the name of a Hebrew letter but also the Hebrew term for eye. My audience be like the “Hebrew Eye”- “Eyes that are windows to the soul. Looking at these poetically charged organs one may proceed to read into ‘Magic world!’- ‘THE MAGUK WELL’Zum Buch
Poetry is meant for everyone. For you. For your child. But where to start? Poems Every Child Should Know is here to help. Selected and accompanied by commentary from bestselling author and literature professor Joseph Pearce, this exciting collection of verse contains classic poems that every child should know to begin a poetic ascent towards God. Not only that, but these poems are chosen so as to help all "become as little children," and are ones everyone should know, regardless of age. These timeless treasures form a foundation upon which to build poetic knowledge and to see the world through the eyes of a poet, the way God intended it. Culled from the rich history of English poetry, these gems of the English language’s inheritance are meant to enrich our children’s cultural treasure chest. Verse, like virtue, is often most beautiful when it is most simple. A good beginning makes a good end all the more likely, so immersing children in beautiful words—words which so powerfully and continually shape our world, our thoughts, our prayers—and teaching them to take a minute and stop to observe a beautiful sentence is of the utmost importance. Appreciating beauty in even the most ordinary of life’s moments is a lesson that will prepare their minds to receive Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Himself. Throughout the book, readers will find “things to think about,” inviting them to engage more deeply with individual poems. These should be seen as an invitation to an adventure into unknown territory, an opportunity to go further up and further in. Be fearless, be adventurous, and enjoy this journey into the realm of the good, the true, and the beautiful of our English language.Zum Buch
Prayer is universal. It is common to all cultures and all religions. It is the way we reach out to the Divine. I think of prayer as a clay urn we lower hand over hand into the well of our hearts, the well that opens to the unlimited water table of blessings. There are different reasons we go the well. There are dark times when we face doubt and loss. There are times when the fire of inspiration lifts our minds and hearts to a new possibility. And there are times when we celebrate the feeling of being at one with all around us. The Prayer Beads is divided into three sections: Poems for the Dark Night; Poems for Renewal; and Poems for the Harvest. I encourage you to linger on each poem as if it were a prayer bead, to linger on each poem until you feel it in your fingertips.Zum Buch

An upbeat and empowering wartime tale about teamwork, collaboration and beating the odds. It's 1943, World War II rages on, and the men are gone. It's left to the 'women in the workmen's boots' to pick up the pieces in the factory. They're being relied upon to build the planes that could win the war, and they take the responsibility seriously. On this particular day, they're attempting to build a Wellington bomber in record-breaking time: under twenty-four hours. As temperatures rise and prejudices bubble up, will they be able to pull together in time? Rachel Harper's play Wellington 24 was first performed by the students at Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton, as part of the Write the Girl project. The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young people. For more information, visit www.multiplaydrama.co.uk.Zum Buch
