Alice's Adventures in Wonderlandby Lewis Carroll, Ralph SteadmanISBN 1554072034 (1-55407-203-4)
Softcover, Firefly Books Ltd

› Find signed collectible books: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'Book summary:Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.
For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.

Alligator Pieby Dennis Lee, Nora HilbISBN 1552636747 (1-55263-674-7)
Hardcover, Key Porter Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Alligator Pie'Book summary:Before Dennis Lee published Alligator Pie in 1974, the only poetry most Canadian children knew by heart was Mother Goose. Reading to his own daughters, the Governor General's Award-winning poet had noticed that the "jolly millers, little pigs and queens" of the old rhymes were no longer "home grown" and recognizable. So he started experimenting with a new kind of nursery rhyme, "not abolishing Mother Goose, but letting her take up residence among hockey sticks and high-rises." Alligator Pie was an immediate hit, and generations since have grown up chanting Lee's toe-tapping nonsense about laundromats, skyscrapers, rattlesnakes, and windshield wipers.
Lee, whose later books for children include Jelly Belly, The Ice Cream Store, and Bubblegum Delicious, has always been drawn to traditional verse forms in his children's poetry. Alligator Pie begins with familiar-sounding tongue twisters and bouncing rhymes for the very young, such as the whimsical "Willoughby Wallaby Woo" and rhythmic "Singa Songa." The longer and more complex poems for older children that conclude the volume, such as "Psychapoo" and "The Hockey Game," are reminiscent of the poetry of Edward Lear and A.A. Milne.
The lasting appeal of these 37 poems, however, lies in Lee's ability to transform the debris of modern everyday life--Coke machines and climbing bars--into a joyful celebration of childhood. For Canadian children, the plethora of place names, from Aklavik to Winnipeg, also instills a delightful sense of belonging. Although marred slightly by Frank Newfeld's dated and lacklustre illustrations, Alligator Pie is a classic in the field of children's poetry. (Ages 4 to 8) --Lisa Alward [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Company of Fools'Book summary:Deborah Ellis, the bestselling author of The Breadwinner and Parvana's Journey, reaches back to the 14th century for a haunting story about the survival of joy in the midst of human misery. Set in 1348, the year the Black Death first swept through France, A Company of Fools is vividly narrated by a young choirboy at the Abbey of St. Luc, near Paris. Quiet and sickly, Henri has been with the monks since he was 5 years old, when it became apparent that his sea-captain father was not coming back. "I'd spent all my life around choirs and music," he says, "and the sound of yet another boy raising his voice in song should have done nothing to me." But from the moment Henri hears the voice of Micah, his orderly life is never the same again.
Rescued from the gallows and brought to the abbey by a wandering Brother, Micah is a coarse, self-aggrandizing street urchin who sings like an angel. He and Henri become friends, and before long the two are performing together in one of the more bizarre theatre troupes to emerge out of the plague years. St. Luc's "Company of Fools" is supposed to make the sick laugh, to release plague victims from their pain and suffering for a few precious moments of joy. But when the crowds of Paris become convinced that Micah is a saviour whose singing can cure the Black Death, even the sheltered world of the abbey begins to crumble.
Ellis brings to her polished fourth novel the political awareness and flashes of wry humour that made her two novels about Taliban-era Afghanistan so popular with middle readers. With its accessible prose style and rich evocation of daily life in the Middle Ages, A Company of Fools offers a wonderful introduction to the pleasures of historical fiction.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Expectations'Book summary:Originally published in serial form from December 1860 to August 1861, Great Expectations is the autobiography of Pip, as he transformed from apprentice village blacksmith to a London gentleman. Unlike many of Dickenss earlier works, the novel is not so much a protest against social evils as a sustained mediation upon the process of social reform in Victorian England. It is this which gives such importance to the books handling of the theme of the gentleman, a theme central both to Dickenss society and to his own life story. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Heaven Shop'Book summary:For Binti's father, who runs Heaven Shop Coffins in the small African country of Malawi, business is booming. It is not until his death, however, that the 13-year-old girl comes face to face with the horror of the AIDS pandemic. In this touching young-adult novel about one of sub-Saharan Africa's 13 million AIDS orphans, Deborah Ellis once again deftly explores a serious world issue through the eyes of a child. Binti, like Parvana in The Breadwinner and its sequel Parvana's Journey, comes from a relatively wealthy and liberal-minded family, making her a character with whom young Western readers can easily identify. When her grandmother publicly reveals that both her parents died of AIDS, though, Binti's comfortable world quickly collapses. She and her 16-year-old sister, Junie, and 14-year-old brother, Kwasi, are taken out of their private schools and shunted off to unfeeling relatives who refuse to touch or eat with them. Worst of all, Binti has to give up her starring role on a popular radio show--the one thing that made her feel special.
In straightforward and unadorned but deeply moving prose, Ellis describes the hardships and ignominies that Binti and other African orphans experience under the taint of AIDS, including physical neglect, imprisonment, and even rape. Ignorance and prejudice are revealed to be just as venomous as the HIV virus itself. As Binti's grandmother remarks, AIDS is "a lion in our village" and yet "We do not want to say what it is. We think that if we don't say it, it will go away, but it won't go away." Some of Ellis's characters can sound a bit like safe-sex pamphlets and her break-neck pacing results in occasionally skeletal plot development. But this is an important book--one that packs an emotional wallop at the same time as it introduces teens to one of the great injustices of our times. --Lisa Alward [via]

Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road. There was a group of lads and lasses sitting or leaning on this fence to rest after an exciting race, and, as they reposed, they amused themselves with criticising their mates, still absorbed in this most delightful of out-door sports. "Here comes Frank Minot, looking as solemn as a judge," cried one, as a tall fellow of sixteen spun by, with a set look about the mouth and a keen sparkle of the eyes, fixed on the distant goal with a do-or-die expression.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade. When I began to ransack the archives of the National Academy of Music I was at once struck by the surprising coincidences between the phenomena ascribed to the "ghost" and the most extraordinary and fantastic tragedy that ever excited the Paris upper classes; and I soon conceived the idea that this tragedy might reasonably be explained by the phenomena in question. The events do not date more than thirty years back; and it would not be difficult to find at the present day, in the foyer of the ballet, old men of the highest respectability, men upon whose word one could absolutely rely, who would remember as though they happened yesterday the mysterious and dramatic conditions that attended the kidnapping of Christine Daae, the disappearance of the Vicomte de Chagny and the death of his elder brother, Count Philippe, whose body was found on the bank of the lake that exists in the lower cellars of the Opera on the Rue-Scribe side. But none of those witnesses had until that day thought that there was any reason for connecting the more or less legendary figure of the Opera ghost with that terrible story. [via]

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty, who did not want him. On the same day another English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did want him. All England wanted him too. England had so longed for him, and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was really come, the people went nearly mad for joy. Mere acquain-tances hugged and kissed each other and cried. Everybody took a holiday, and high and low, rich and poor, feasted and danced and sang, and got very mellow; and they kept this up for days and nights together. By day, London was a sight to see, with gay banners waving from every balcony and housetop, and splendid pageants marching along. By night, it was again a sight to see, with its great bonfires at every corner, and its troops of revellers making merry around them. There was no talk in all England but of the new baby, Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales, who lay lapped in silks and satins, unconscious of all this fuss, and not knowing that great lords and ladies were tend- ing him and watching over him - and not caring, either. But there was no talk about the other baby, Tom Canty, lapped in his poor rags, except among the family of paupers whom he had just come to trouble with his presence. [via]

"They are the Campbells, waiting for their cousin, who has been abroad several years with her uncle, the doctor," whispered one lady to another as the handsomest of the young men touched his hat to her as he passed, lugging the boy, whom he had just rescued from a little expedition down among the piles.

All sorts of neglected flowers and wild weeds grew between their stems, covering the walls of this summer parlor with the prettiest tapestry. A board, propped on two blocks of wood, stood in the middle of the walk, covered with a little plaid shawl much the worse for wear, and on it a miniature tea-service was set forth with great elegance.
