Download or read book Gloriana and the Twins Hunt for Pirate Treasure written by John Last and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long John Silver, the villain in Robert Louis Stephenson's adventure story, Treasure Island, had a parrot. This story is another episode in the life of that parrot. She was hatched in the household of Queen Elizabeth, "Good Queen Bess," and named Gloriana by Queen Elizabeth herself. Captured by pirates, she went ashore many years later with one of the pirates who opened a pawn shop at Port Adelaide. Nine-year-old twins, Jennifer and Christopher, bought the parrot and discovered her conversational abilities. Gloriana tells the twins she knows where the pirates' treasure is buried. Accompanied by their parents, they set off to recover the treasure, traveling across inland Australia from Adelaide to Northern Queensland, pursued by three villains. Jennifer is kidnapped by the villains who want to exchange her for Gloriana; but Gloriana, aided by squadrons of parrots, rescues her. After further adventures, Jennifer, Christopher, and their parents, recover the treasure, which turns out to be ancient Chinese porcelain, not gold, silver and jewels. The villains chase Gloriana and her human companions in a speedboat, but its engine breaks down and the villains get horribly seasick. The twins' father hands the villains over to the police.

Download or read book Children s Culture and the Avant Garde written by Marilynn Strasser Olson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the mutual influences between children’s literature and the avant-garde. Olson places particular focus on fin-de-siècle Paris, where the Avant-garde was not unified in thought and there was room for modernism to overlap with children’s literature and culture in the Golden Age. The ideas explored by artists such as Florence Upton, Henri Rousseau, Sir William Nicholson, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Marc Chagall had been disseminated widely in cultural productions for children; their work, in turn, influenced children’s culture. These artists turned to children’s culture as a "new way of seeing," allied to a contemporary interest in international artistic styles. Children’s culture also has strong ties to decadence and to the grotesque, the latter of which became a distinctively Modernist vision. This book visits the qualities of the era that were defined as uniquely childlike, the relation of childhood to high and low art, and the relation of children’s literature to fin-de-siècle artistic trends. Topics of interest include the use of non-European figures (the Golliwogg), approaches to religion and pedagogy, to oppression and motherhood, to Nature in a post-Darwinian world, and to vision in art and life. Olson’s unique focus covers new ground by concentrating not simply on children's literature, but on how childhood experiences and culture figure in art.

Download or read book Pirating Fictions written by Monica F. Cohen and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two distinctly different meanings of piracy are ingeniously intertwined in Monica Cohen's lively new book, which shows how popular depictions of the pirate held sway on the page and the stage even as their creators were preoccupied with the ravages of literary appropriation. The golden age of piracy captured the nineteenth-century imagination, animating such best-selling novels as Treasure Island and inspiring theatrical hits from The Pirates of Penzance to Peter Pan. But the prevalence of unauthorized reprinting and dramatic adaptation meant that authors lost immense profits from the most lucrative markets. Infuriated, novelists and playwrights denounced such literary piracy in essays, speeches, and testimonies. Their fiction, however, tells a different story. Using landmarks in copyright history as a backdrop, Pirating Fictions argues that popular nineteenth-century pirate fiction mischievously resists the creation of intellectual property in copyright legislation and law. Drawing on classic pirate stories by such writers as Walter Scott, James Fenimore Cooper, Robert Louis Stevenson, and J. M. Barrie, this wide-ranging account demonstrates, in raucous tales and telling asides, how literary appropriation was celebrated at the very moment when the forces of possessive individualism began to enshrine the language of personal ownership in Anglo-American views of creative work.
