Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This children's book mixes fact with fiction, offering a combination of learning and escapism, whilst focusing on the wellbeing and feel good factor for children. It covers the consequences of our behaviour. No matter how troublesome we may have been, we're still able to change for the better. From across the land the most troublesome boys and girls are sent to White Dove School of Conduct. A school nested nicely between nowhere and somewhere on the outskirts of the little known country of Darkshire. The school is a place where those children who have been rejected are accepted and offered one last chance. Each arrives transformed into a different animal - from a penguin to an elephant, or even a snake. For newly arrived Charlie Dee, it is all too much. Not only does he find himself at a school that is more like a zoo, with historical and mythological figures for teachers, but he must also come to terms with being a pangolin, and though it is natural for a pangolin to eat termites, it is not acceptable when that termite happens to be one of your classmates!

Download or read book Victorian Epic Burlesques written by Rachel Bryant Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology presents annotated scripts of four major burlesques by key playwrights: Melodrama Mad! or, the Siege of Troy by Thomas John Dibdin (1819); Telemachus; or, the Island of Calypso by J.R. Planché (1834); The Iliad; or, the Siege of Troy by Robert Brough (1858) and Ulysses; or the Ironclad Warriors and the Little Tug of War by F.C. Burnand (1865). Beloved legend, archaeological riddle and educational staple: Homer's epic tales of the Trojan War and its aftermath were vividly reimagined in nineteenth-century Britain. Classical burlesques-exceptionally successful theatrical entertainments-continually mined the Iliad and Odyssey to lucrative comic effect. Burlesques combined song, dance and slapstick comedy with an eclectic kaleidoscope of topical allusions. From namedropping boxing legends to recasting Shakespearean combats, epic adaptations overflow with satirical commentary on politics, cultural highlights and everyday current affairs. In uncovering Homer's irreverently playful afterlife, this selection showcases burlesque's development and wide appeal. The critical introduction analyses how these plays contested the accessibility of classical antiquity and dramatic performance. Textual and literary annotations, with contemporary illustrations, illuminate the juxtaposed sources to establish these repackaged epics as indispensable tools for unlocking nineteenth-century social, cultural and political history. Resources for further study are available online.
