Summertide
'You may have noticed, ' said Maut, 'that the Tree is on the move.'On the edge of the town of Kottow stands the tallest (and oddest) Tree in the land. It's a staid and solid arbour - until the Tree picks up its mighty old roots and wanders off, taking its resident band of misfits away with it. Whither goes the Tree? Not even the wizard can say.'There is something mighty fey about all this, or my name ain't Diggory Stokey.'Far away from Kottow, a forest lies lost in the mists of a dream. There's much to mend in this hoary old wood, for the Summer's been swept from the glittering skies, and no one's keeping an eye on the Winter...'Enchanted forests, ' Mudleaf spat. 'Bah. Like it's been raining magic this long age through.'The good folk of Kottow aren't used to so wayward a magic - not even Maut Fey, the one with the sunlight behind her eyes. But magic will have its way with them, whether they will or no.Summertide's waiting. Can the folk of the Tree bring it back, or will the wild magic wash them away?"If you mixed elements of the Faraway Tree, Narnia, Frozen and A Midsummer Night's Dream together, you might get something like Summertide. Maybe." - The Author'Almond tarts for her MAJESTY!' someone else roared. 'Apple ice-wine for her majesty!'

Mount Hermon's chilly mountain air is the perfect environment and allows Amaris a place to fly in isolation from the rest of the world. Amaris fears humans as the witch convinced him all human contact is dangerous, and if he were caught, he would be eaten!After the witch's death, Amaris discovers a handwritten note scribbled by the witch explaining how, through trickery, she stole him at birth from his natural parents and that he actually has a twin brother!Alone, abandoned, and isolated, Amaris decides to take a chance and seek his brother, hoping a reunion will bring a sense of belonging.This story takes the reader on a wild journey through the perilous desert, where Amaris encounters desert creatures and a little girl named Ruth. Ruth teaches Amaris not all humans are harmful and even gives him a clue on his twin brother's whereabouts.The story is about redemption.

A Christmas Carol
Never out of print since its initial appearance in 1843, A Christmas Carol has been adapted countless times to the stage, radio, television, film and opera. The selfish miser Scrooge's name has become synonymous with greed and indifference to the welfare of others. His immortal Christmas eve visitations by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come have become a cultural fixture and a fundamental part of the Christmas Holidays around the world. A Christmas Carol was conceived by the author with the deliberate intent of shaking his audience with an emotional tale designed to inspire compassion and charity toward the disadvantaged, especially children. Scrooge's surreal, spellbinding journey into the meaning of Christmas, with its climactic insistence that a life lived without love and charity is no life at all, provides readers with one of literature's finest, most unforgettable entertainments while celebrating the good in humanity and providing the world with the most cherished Christmas story ever written. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Christmas Carol is both modern and readable.

Peter and Wendy
Peter Pan is vanishing. Unauthorized changes have tinkered with J.M. Barrie's magic. How can we know that the book we call "Peter Pan" is presented the way Barrie first penned it? Since the mid-20th century, readers couldn't be certain─ until this edition.With the award-winning "Hook & Jill" Saga, the Reginetta Press drew grown-up readers back to the Neverland. Now it carries us to the Island again, this time on the wings of Barrie's own words...."All children, except one, grow up." Peter Pan himself grew in his author's imagination, from the true boys Barrie knew, to the infant of "The Little White Bird," to the Wonderful Boy on stage, to his familiar form in "Peter and Wendy." But no evolution of Barrie's text is necessary for us to revel in his Neverland─ in any era, and at any age.With "Peter and Wendy: The Restored Text," the Reginetta Press preserves the integrity of Barrie's manuscript, before it is lost to time. All other versions stand "second-to-the-right" of J.M. Barrie's.This Reginetta Press edition replicates the exact text of J.M. Barrie's 1911 novelization of the Peter Pan story, "Peter and Wendy," and reproduces the F.D. Bedford illustrations.With supplemental material documenting the development of J.M. Barrie's concept of Peter Pan over the years: --"The Evolution of Peter Pan," tracing the growth of the Peter Pan mythology;--Editor's supplement: "A Gift of Ghosts," revealing background and insight into the origin of Peter Pan in J.M. Barrie's personal life.--Text restored to original form, which editions since the mid-20th century may have changed or deleted.--Includes all 14 illustrations created by F.D. Bedford, rarely seen and now restored from the first edition in 1911.

The Complete Fairy TalesTheComplete Fairy Tales
The works of George MacDonald, the Scottish author, poet, and minister, have influenced the likes of W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, Madeleine L'Engle, C. S. Lewis, and Mark Twain. MacDonald wrote some of the first popular fantasy novels and is best known for his enduring stories, such as "Phantastes", "The Princess and the Goblin", "Lilith", and "At the Back of the North Wind". Macdonald said of his work that he wrote "not for children, but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." "The Complete Fairy Tales" brings together all of MacDonald's shorter fairy stories, as well as an essay on fantasy writing titled "The Fantastic Imagination". This collection includes some of his most memorable and enduring tales, such as "The Light Princess" and "The Wise Woman". The stories contain many of the elements often associated with fairy tales: children undertaking dangerous and deadly adventures, fairies both wicked and kind, and strange, dream-like lands. MacDonald's stories are unexpected and experimental, however, and contradict the tradition of children's tales. Readers young and old alike will be captivated and entertained by these unique fairy tales that manage to be both dark and hopeful, enchanting, and full of practical wisdom. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
