I felt alive just imagining that I am a part of their world, where I was always welcomed by everything and everybody. My sister was always my companion in all my travels, and she always took good care of me. Before I knew it, I grew up and I was blessed with a wonderful child.

Book excerpt: "Everyone knows the old saying "necessity is the mother of invention," but if you do a paternity test on many of the modern world's most important ideas or institutions, you will find, invariably, that leisure and play were involved in the conception as well." Most history books don't concern themselves with delight. History is the serious business of war, treaties, governments and monarchs. This is a different kind of history book. Steven Johnson argues that if you want to understand how we got to now, you have to understand pleasure and play. A staggering amount of the landscape of modern life is populated by environments and technology designed to entertain and delight us. Here history of popular entertainment, arguing that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Throughout history, he locates the cutting edge of innovation wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused.He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows.

Book excerpt: A quick look at this story: A wonderful children's book called "Goblins' Winter Wonderland" can be found in the middle of a magical forest. The story is about a clever group of goblins who like to pull jokes and tricks on each other. Their biggest happiness, though, comes with winter because it means their biggest and best event, which they call "Goblins' Winter Wonderland." The story shows the goblins as unique and beautiful creatures who love winter and the forest where they live, even though they are often naughty. Their excitement about winter spreads to others, and they use it to make a beautiful winter wonderland that the whole forest loves. Every year when it snows for the first time, the goblins get together to plan and get ready for their winter party. Their togetherness, which is the main theme of the book, shows how important it is to work together. The forest's change into a winter paradise shows how dedicated the goblins are and how happy everyone is about the season. The goblin lord Grizzle, who has a long white beard and a sparkle in his eye, is a key character in the story. He leads the goblins in their preparations with his unique ideas and great guidance. Grizzle's loyal friend Snickers perfectly rounds him out with his clever bag full of surprises. In the goblins' winter paradise, the beautiful snow fort is the center of attention. The goblins and their forest friends gather sticks and snowballs to build the fort's huge walls. The fort, which is full of shocks and hidden traps, is where they celebrate. The goblins build not only a fort but also a magical ice sculpture garden. The garden is full of beautiful ice statues of animals, trees, and goblins. This garden shows how much they love the beauty of winter and how talented they are as artists. The story takes on more depth when a smart family of wild animals shows up, including Felix the fox, Hoot the alert owl, and Nutty the friendly squirrel. Everyone who lives in the forest is eager to add to the wonderland, which makes them feel united and nice to each other. The owl Hoot makes a maze inside the fort out of puzzles and questions, which keeps everyone on their toes and adds a bit of mystery to the fun. Goblins, people who live in the woods, and new friends work together every day to make the winter paradise even more magical. Animals of all sizes come to see the big opening of the Goblins' Winter Wonderland, which has become a historic event. People who live in the woods are drawn to the beautiful snow fort, the sparkling ice sculptures, and the difficult maze. The sculptures are more unique because of the baby animals that were carefully painted. As nightfall comes, Wonderland changes into a bright and magical place. When the animals in the forest get together to dance and enjoy, it emphasizes the idea of harmony and shared happiness. At the end of the story, Grizzle and Snickers think about how their winter party has changed over the years. These days, they know that making something beautiful and showing it off to their friends is more important than tricks and jokes. The Goblins' Winter Wonderland has become a beloved tradition in the magical forest, where people come together to celebrate the magic of winter and the bonds of friendship. It's winter, but people who live in the woods remember the beauty as spring comes around. Their home in the forest is even more magical all year round because of the lessons they've learned about working together. Sharing happiness, working together as a team, and cherishing bonds are all important parts of the story. This is a calming reminder that even bad goblins can create a magical winter wonderland full of love and magic, showing that people can stick together even in the worst conditions. Here's how the story starts: A group of bad goblins used to live in the middle of the magical forest. Most people knew these goblins for their love of tricks and practical jokes, but what brought them together was their shared excitement about winter. Their forest was unlike any other; it was a magical and amazing place, with streams that sparkled with magical water and trees that whispered old secrets. Goblins were an important part of this magical world, even though they were bad. The goblins were happy as the seasons changed and the world turned a rainbow of colors. They could also see the first signs of winter. They held their breath as the leaves turned fiery orange and red, which meant that snow was likely to come soon. During those times, they stopped being so naughty and worked together to look forward to the fun things that winter would bring. Even though they liked to get into trouble, goblins were not naturally bad. They were lively, funny, and eager to try new things. In the magical forest, stories about their adventures grew over the course of the year. They would change rocks into toadstools, leaves into butterflies, and sometimes even the tails of animals in the woods, which led to funny and strange interactions. When winter came, though, something changed. The goblins didn't do what they usually do; instead, they made their favorite Goblins' Winter Wonderland, which got messed up. They loved winter so much that they put all of their skills and energy into making it a beautiful place for everyone to enjoy. The goal wasn't to trick people; it was to make a place where people could have fun, feel connected, and experience magic. The group became close-knit under the direction of Grizzle, who was smart and a little strange, and Snickers, who was smart and sneaky and always ready to help. Their careful planning for the Christmas event showed how dedicated they were. When the first snow fell from the sky, it was like someone flipping a switch. The goblins moved quickly and split up into groups, giving each group a specific job to do. Some people went deep into the forest to get sticks and other things they needed for their snow fort, while others went to the nearby mountains to get big snowballs. Grizzle and Snickers were in charge of getting the things they needed, and they did it with great enthusiasm. The snow fort turned into a one-of-a-kind work of art as it was built. The walls, which were made from carefully shaped snow bricks, were so tall that they took a picture that could be seen for miles. Everyone was drawn inside by the beautiful door, and the tricky maze inside made things even more interesting. The goblins added surprises and hidden traps to the plain snow walls, making every turn a source of laughter and joy. However, the snow fort was only a small part of their huge winter project. In the middle of their fantasy, the goblins worked hard to make an ice park with amazing sculptures. They were very careful and realistic when they made trees, animals, and even pictures of their evil selves. When they were done, the sculptures amazed everyone who saw them. In the winter sun, they shone brightly, and at night, they looked eerie. Both the magical forest and the goblins went through changes in the winter. The forest looked completely different when it snowed for the first time. The streams that used to rush and gurgle had frozen over and stopped moving. The trees, which had been full of green leaves, now stood tall and proud in their snowy clothes. The whole forest looked like it was holding its breath, ready for the ideal to be shown off. However, the orcs' change was just as amazing. The goblins' hearts were warmed by the idea of working together toward a shared goal, and the world outside turned into a winter paradise. Their earnest desire to make something beautiful for the people who lived in the forest won out over their love of playing practical jokes. It was a time when they could be more than just naughty, and their fun side was put to good use. The magical forest was full of excitement as Grizzle and Snickers led the goblins in their never-ending work to create their Goblins' Winter Wonderland. The funny squirrel, the curious fox, and the wise old owl were among the other animals that watched in awe and, for the first time, helped the goblins. They learned that winter wasn't just a season, but a time to share happiness, enjoy, and make something lovely that everyone would love. Goblins would jump for joy every year when the first snowflake fell from the sky. They would then start getting ready for the Goblins' Winter Wonderland, which was the biggest winter event the forest had ever seen. This yearly festival was more than just a festival; it was a statement of the goblins' undying love for winter and their amazing ability to turn their energy into a magical show that enchanted the whole forest. When they saw the first snowflake, their evil souls were filled with joy and pleasure. It was like the coming of winter told them to stop doing the silly things they usually do and work together for a more important cause. The goblins knew that they had to work together and get along in order to make their winter wonderland into something truly amazing. When the trees' leaves turned fiery orange and red, the goblins knew winter was coming. That's when they would get together in a circle and start making plans. They put aside their sense of humor during these meetings so that they could work together to make something truly amazing. As the group went around, Grizzle, their smart and wise leader, would stand in the middle. The cool fall breeze would make his long white beard flap. Usually, his eyes twinkled with mischief, but now they shone with creativity and inspiration. A lot of goblins crowded around him, each ready to help with their skills and ideas. The smart and cunning helper Snickers was always the first to come up with new ideas for their wonderland. With his surprise-filled backpack over his shoulder, he was a source of new ideas that made their plans more magical. His happiness spread, and everyone in the group was amazed by him. The goblins worked together very well because they paid close attention to each other as they talked about their ideas for the winter wonderland. They liked how each goblin was different because they knew that each one brought a different set of skills and ideas to the table. Some people could make very complicated snow forts, and others could make very complicated ice statues. There were people who were great at making tricky mazes and people who knew just how to make their dream shiny with lights. When the goblins got together to plan, they felt like they were all working toward the same goal, which was almost magical. As they talked, thought, and sometimes argued, their disagreements only made their points stronger. The plants around them seemed to mirror the fire and life that filled their circle. The goblins would divide themselves into groups and give each group a specific task to complete in the winter wonderland once they were ready. Some of them went to the nearby mountains and worked very hard to roll and stack big snowballs that would become the structure of their snow fort. Others went deep into the forest to find the right twigs and other materials for the walls and decorations of their winter wonderland. Grizzle and Snickers were given the important job of putting together the appropriate parts. They went down into the middle of the forest to find the items that would make their dream come true. They walked on snowy paths and braved the bitter cold. They spent hours and hours gathering shiny decorations, enticing lights, and other things that would make their winter dream complete. As the days got shorter and the forest turned into a winter paradise, the goblins' snow fort began to take shape. It was amazing to see how carefully the huge walls were built from stacked snowballs. As soon as someone stepped through the huge gate, a maze of twists and turns began to form inside. Its goal was to both challenge and amuse everyone who entered. But the snow fort was only a small part of their bigger plan. The goblins started making an ice garden right in the middle of their wonderland, which amazed everyone who saw it. With chisels and other tools, they carefully carved animals, trees, and even funny self-portraits into the huge blocks of ice. When it got dark, the sculptures sparkled in the moonlight, turning the yard into a beautiful, magical place. The goblins were completely focused on their goal, and their excitement was contagious. Their strong sense of group spirit drove them to succeed. The Goblins' Winter Wonderland wasn't just a show of snow and ice; it was also about working together, getting past problems, and having a fun time for everyone in the forest. So, the goblins went from being naughty jokers to dedicated magic makers at the same time that winter came. It was a sign of the power of friendship, a shared passion, and the magic that lives inside each of them. The goblins wanted to make a winter wonderland that would not only shine a light on the forest but also make everyone who entered their magical world feel like they were part of a community and full of wonder. Each year, when the leaves turned red, the planning began all over again. A big goblin named Grizzle yelled, "Let's build the biggest snow fort the forest has ever seen!" He had a long white beard and a mischievous look in his eyes. The goblins in the group were thrilled when Grizzle made his statement. He was famous for planning their winter events better than anyone else, and with just one word, he could get their group thinking of new ideas. Grizzle's creativity had already done amazing things for the forest, and it looked like this year would be no different. With his strong body and thick white beard, Grizzle looked like a monster who had lived through a few winters. But what really made him stand out was the twinkle in his eye. He was so excited about everything wintery and about life in general that it showed in his goofy grin. That glint was a sign of big surprises and adventures that no one saw coming. The goblins decided to ask Grizzle for help as they got ready to build the huge snow fort. His funny and smart way of leading worked well for the problems that came up during their yearly winter project. He told them about his plans for their snow fort with a smile on his face: it would be the biggest and most magical castle, full of joy and wonder. Grizzle told the goblins what to do, and they got to work. As they worked together to reach a shared goal, it became clear that they were one. They were split into groups, each with a specific task. Some people went into the forest to get twigs and other building supplies for the fort's walls, while others went to the nearby mountains to get big snowballs. Grizzle's sparkle told everyone working on the project that it was more important to make a winter wonderland that people couldn’t stop thinking about than to just build snow walls. Because he was so naughty, he brought up unexpected things that made their fort really amazing. It was designed with unexpected traps, secret tunnels, and hidden rooms in mind so that anyone who entered would be shocked and amused. The snow fort turned into something even cooler than the goblins thought possible. From afar, the walls were amazing because they rose to dizzying heights and were built with great care and precision. The portal that Grizzles built drew people in by telling them about a wonderful world beyond. People who went inside the fort had to use their brains and their curiosity to find their way through a small maze of turns and bends. Grizzle's smile was biggest when he was overseeing the building of the maze. He knew that the people who lived in the forest would find it fun and interesting. The goblins stayed together through the whole thing thanks to Grizzle's guidance. His ideas and direction made them more determined to build a snow fort as a sign of how creative and united they were. His wicked little light caught their attention and reminded them that they were committed to both their goal and adding some surprise and joy to their winter beauty. So, Grizzle told the goblins what to do and they started making their winter creation. The strong walls, beautiful entrance, and difficult maze of the fort showed how dedicated they were to their common goal. Their snow fort was more than just a pile of snow and ice because of Grizzle's glitter, that look of magic and fun. It was a living, breathing tribute to the wonders of winter and the strength of community. The goblins agreed and cheered, then they started getting ready. As they spread out in all directions, they caused a lot of happy chaos. Each goblin was eager to use their own unique skills and traits to help build the beautiful snow fort. They went out in organized groups, each with a special task that would help them make Grizzle's dream of a winter paradise come true. The goblins, who were the fastest and most agile, led a group of people off to the nearby mountains. The goal for them was to gather big snowballs to build their amazing snow fort on. The goblins didn't care that the ground was rough and cold; it was only a short but dangerous hike to the mountains. They laughed hysterically as they pushed, rolled, and brought the huge snowballs back to where they were building. Some goblins who were good at art and had sharp eyes went to find the right trees to build the walls of the fort. These goblins looked through the forest for the best and most beautiful materials, as if they were nature's builders. They made sure that the snow fort would not only be a work of architecture but also a work of art that fit in perfectly with the magical forest surroundings. As the boss of the goblins, Grizzle was in charge of the whole operation. He went from group to group with his long white beard, giving advice and support. Snickers, his loyal friend, was always close behind him, ready with his bag of tricks. The goblins stayed interested and driven because they were part of a lively group. The information and skills that Grizzle shared with us were very helpful because they gave us ideas on how to build a big, strong snow fort. His naughty glint had turned into a gleam of determination and creativity, which motivated the monsters to do even more. The way he led gave the goblins a sense of direction and unity, which made them want to work together.

Wonderland, who has consumed twenty-seven Fixers before Mal and has been dubbed "toxic" by the Operators of DeadEnd. But Wonderland needs to be fixed.

After training for eleven years and studying every re-telling of Lewis Carroll's classic, Mal leaves the world behind and enters her very own dead-end fairy tale.

And perhaps help her build a life in Wonderland for when she succeeds - because she is determined to do what the other twenty-seven have not been able to.

Book excerpt: With an output of more than 250,000 minutes annually, and with roughly 5,000 producers and production units, the Chinese are leading the field of animated films. Although it is almost impossible to completely cover 90 years of filmmaking, this book provides a comprehensible introduction to the industry's infancy, its Golden Age (Shanghai Animation Film Studio) and today's Chinese animation (in feature films, television series and student films). There are classics such as Princess Iron Fan (made at the time of the Japanese occupation) and the color Havoc in Heaven, both starring the Monkey King Sun Wukong, as well as countless TV stars (Blue Cat, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf) and many almost unknown works by young filmmakers who are not focusing on an audience of children (like most of the industry output).
