Download or read book Beauty written by Robin McKinley and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of Rose Daughter reimagines the classic French fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast. I was the youngest of three daughters. Our literal-minded mother named us Grace, Hope, and Honour. . . . My father still likes to tell the story of how I acquired my odd nickname: I had come to him for further information when I first discovered that our names meant something besides you-come-here. He succeeded in explaining grace and hope, but he had some difficulty trying to make the concept of honour understandable to a five-year-old. . . . I said: ‘Huh! I’d rather be Beauty.’ . . . By the time it was evident that I was going to let the family down by being plain, I’d been called Beauty for over six years. . . . I wasn’t really very fond of my given name, Honour, either . . . as if ‘honourable’ were the best that could be said of me. The sisters’ wealthy father loses all his money when his merchant fleet is drowned in a storm, and the family moves to a village far away. Then the old merchant hears what proves to be a false report that one of his ships had made it safe to harbor at last, and on his sad, disappointed way home again he becomes lost deep in the forest and has a terrifying encounter with a fierce Beast, who walks like a man and lives in a castle. The merchant’s life is forfeit, says the Beast, for trespass and the theft of a rose—but he will spare the old man’s life if he sends one of his daughters: “Your daughter would take no harm from me, nor from anything that lives in my lands.” When Beauty hears this story—for her father had picked the rose to bring to her—her sense of honor demands that she take up the Beast’s offer, for “cannot a Beast be tamed?” This “splendid story” by the Newbery Medal–winning author of The Hero and the Crown has been named an ALA Notable Book and a Phoenix Award Honor Book (Publishers Weekly).
Download or read book The Frog That Didn t Want To Be A Prince Again written by João José Da Costa and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2019-11-16 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of George, a young Prince of the Kingdom of PEACEBURGH, who is forced into a marriage he does not want with Princess Stephanie of the terrible Kingdom of HATEBURGH, ruled by the violent King Vladimir. King Vladimir s intention with this marriage was the union of the Kingdoms of PEACEBURGH and HATEBURGH in order to conquer the rich and peaceful Kingdom of LOVEBURGH. Prince George does not accept this condition and curses that he would rather become a frog and disappear into the great lake of the castle. The curse witch listened and answered his request. At the lake, Prince George had moments of great joy, won sincere friendships, such as that of Frog Croc, and felt so good that he would not want to be Prince again. Everything was fine until he saw that the lake was not so calm and safe. The dreaded Goliath Frog, who swallowed frogs who did not obey her, decided that all frogs should invade the peaceful, rich neighboring lake. Croc, by example of determination and courage, led a movement against Goliath Frog, showing Prince George, called Toad by Croc, how cowardly and timid he was at facing problems in his own Kingdom. Breaking the curse and returning to Princehood was thanks to a true kiss of love from Frog, a friendly little frog who was, in fact, the castle maid Suzy in love with the Prince and who had been accidentally transformed in frog by the curse witch. Prince George led his people to resistance against King Vladimir. The story ends with a lesson given by the people of LOVEBURGH who helped the Kingdom of PEACEBURGH overcome the Kingdom of HATEBURGH. Defeated King Vladimir cursed and the curse witch turned him into a frog as well. But his fate on the lake was sad. The new King George finally marries Suzy, the maid.
Download or read book Cozy written by Isabel Gillies and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Happens Every Day, Isabel Gillies, presents a fresh and inspiring look at the subtle art of cozy—part manifesto, part lifestyle guide, part memoir—that shows fans of The Little Book of Hygge that true comfort comes from within. When we talk about being cozy, most of us think of a favorite sweater or a steaming cup of tea on a rainy day. But to Isabel Gillies, coziness goes beyond mere objects. To be truly cozy, she argues, means learning to identify the innermost truth of yourself and carrying it into the world, no matter your environment. Starting when she was young, Gillies has gradually learned the art and subtle beauty of creating a life where you feel safe, steadied, and at home in the world. From old family recipes and subway rides to jury duty and hospital stays, in Cozy Gillies shows readers that true ease stems not with throw pillows and a candle, but from opportunities to feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and learn to make ourselves at home no matter where we are. Simple choices can make a hectic life or an uncomfortable situation just a little more comfortable—you just have to know what to do. Just as Marie Kondo offered a philosophy for how to tidy, Gillies offers a new way of occupying the spaces we live in. Starting with yourself, then broadening to your home, your community, and the world at large, Cozy will show you how to bring the truth of who you are into any situation, easy or challenging. As Gillies says, “Cozy isn’t something that just exists. You have to make cozy happen.” Written with profound warmth and featuring hand-drawn illustrations, this wise, necessary book is call to action for each of us to seek out those often-missed opportunities to care for ourselves, and to begin living a more intimate and authentic life.

And, within the bramble forest that's become her home, her spirit takes on a form that is almost real. For the first time in her sheltered, restricted life, Izzy knows what it's like to feel free. Duke Conall will do whatever is necessary to protect his kingdom from the damage and chaos left in the curse's wake. Even if it means rescuing the bride he never wanted. But Islyne's no longer the meek princess who barely spoke to her betrothed the only time they met. And she has no intention of living her life as nothing more than a political pawn. So when Conall mistakes her for a servant, Izzy hatches a plan to keep him far from the Palace where her body sleeps. As the danger grows, however, she realizes maybe there's more to Conall, too.
