Book excerpt: The first half of the 20th century was a golden age of Australian fantasy illustrators and writers, and Pixie O'Harris (1903-1991) was one of the most loved. She illustrated more than 40 fairy books, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Her charming woodland and sea creatures, and her appealing fairies captivated generations of children. Every year, she is remembered through the Pixie O'Harris Award, which the Australian Publishing Association gives in recognition of "distinguished and dedicated service to the development and reputation of children's books".For the first time, this lavishly designed gift edition will bring together some of Pixie's most popular works: from the entire story of Pearl Pinkie and Sea Greenie (her first children's book) to poems and stories from The Pixie O'Harris Story Book, The Pixie O'Harris Gift Book and the original Pixie O'Harris Fairy Book. With eight pages of colour plates, and beautifully-detailed black and white vignettes throughout, this book revitalises a classic Australian fantasy writer and illustrator. It introduces Pixie O'Harris to a new generation of readers and re-acquaints many with the cherished stories and illustrations of their childhood.

Book excerpt: As far as the Fairy Queen was concerned, the Fairy-who-wouldn’t-fly was lazy and so she banished her to the Woodn’t, the place where she had sent all the other creatures who wouldn’t do as they should. There, the Fairy-who-wouldn’t-fly met many friends—the Kookaburra-who-wouldn’t laugh, the Bee-who-wouldn’t-live-in-a-hive, the Frog-who-wouldn’t-hop.

The magic tale of The Fairy Who Wouldn’t Fly, adapted by Bronwyn Davies for today’s children, was originally written and illustrated by Pixie O’Harris in 1945.

Download or read book That Went Well written by Terrell Harris Dougan and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Terrell Dougan's sister, Irene: a woman in her sixties who still believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny--but who also enjoys playing those characters for the children at the local hospital; whose favorite outfit, which she'll sneak into whenever Terrell's back is turned, consists of Mickey Mouse kneesocks and shorts; who wins over the neighborhood kids by hosting two fire trucks at her lemonade stand; whose fridge bears a magnet: NORMAL PEOPLE WORRY ME. When Irene was born, her parents were advised to institutionalize her. They refused and instead became trailblazers in advocating for the rights of people with mental disabilities. The entire family benefited, with a life rich in stress, sorrows, hilarity, joy, and overwhelming kindness from strangers. Terrell has found that the only way to get through the difficult moments is to laugh--even in the most trying of times. In her moving, funny, and unforgettable memoir about life with Irene, Terrell Dougan shows that love, humor, and compassion are enough to heal us, every single day.

Download or read book Fresh Complaint written by Jeffrey Eugenides and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proudly presenting the widely anticipated new work of fiction from the multi-award winning bestselling author of Middlesex--a #1 major bestseller in Canada--and The Marriage Plot--also an acclaimed national bestseller--and the beloved The Virgin Suicides. Featuring unseen stories from one of the most eclectic, dynamic fiction writers working today, Fresh Complaint brings together works both new and previously published--including the crème de la crème of Eugenides's beloved New Yorker stories, never before collected between two covers. Jeffrey Eugenides's bestselling novels have shown that he is an astute observer of the crises of adolescence, sexual identity, self-discovery, family love and what it means to be an American in our times. The stories in Fresh Complaint continue that tradition. Ranging from the reproductive antics of "Baster" to the wry, moving account of a young traveller's search for enlightenment in "Air Mail" (selected by Annie Proulx for The Best American Short Stories 1997), this collection presents characters in the midst of personal and national crises. We meet a failed poet who, envious of other people's wealth during the real-estate bubble, becomes an embezzler; a clavichordist whose dreams of art collapse under the obligations of marriage and fatherhood; and, in "Bronze," a sexually confused college freshman whose encounter with a stranger on a train leads to a revelation about his past and his future. Narratively compelling, beautifully written and packed with a density of ideas that belie their fluid grace, Fresh Complaint proves Eugenides to be a master of the short form as well as the long. Showcasing stories from as far back as the 1980s and as recently as 2017, Fresh Complaint is the career-spanning collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
