The Hidden Wisdom of Fairytales, Parables and Myths
In Hidden Wisdom, Professor Anderson introduces the activity of self-transformation or self-cultivation through meditative reflections on so-called nonsense poetry and myth. Central to his thesis is the claim that, "without a willing change in attitude from fear to radical trust, and from reactive bewilderment to active attention no person can leave anxious worry behind and 'cross over' to tranquility." In the spirit of Don Quixote, Anderson contends, "that the road is better than the inn if for no other reason than that the sublime always looks ridiculous in the world of small talk and domestic ease. And yet it is precisely on the ground of the commonplace that every ideal must pitch and strike its tent or fail to own a habitation and a name."

In the land of Harmony, the Bobos Babes sisters-Angel Scarlett, Princess Daphne, and Fairy Cora-live in a castle behind an enchanted waterfall. On this day, they decide to visit Barbara the Butterfly and her lovely fields of flowers. Overlooking the beauty from atop a hill, Leonard the Lion enjoys the view, or so Fairy Cora thinks. "Flowers?" said Leonard the Lion. "Do I look like a flower-loving kind of guy? My secret," he blurted out, "Is that I'm in love with Barbara the Butterfly." Leonard the Lion makes Fairy Cora swear she will not give up his secret, even though the fairy protests that he should share his sentiment with the sweet butterfly. In the meantime, her sisters Scarlett and Daphne are among the flowers listening to Barbara the Butterfly tell them how kind and generous she finds her leonine friend, Leonard, who keeps predators from her lovely fields and who has such a warm smile and cute face. But she, too, pleads with her friends to keep her feelings a secret. "I know he is so big, and you are so small," Began Scarlett, "and you love to fly, and he loves to crawl. But despite all the differences that stand in your way, You might share a love that makes those differences fade." With vibrant and playful illustrations and a lilting rhyming text, The Lion's Secret is a lively read-aloud that shares the beauty of unlikely love and the trust of true friendships. Author Karen M. Bobos was inspired to write this whimsical series by her own three daughters and their rollicking adventures.

His deep voice echoed off the walls of the cave like the clap of thunder. "Sir, your orders were clear," the lead troll replied. He then shot a glance at the other troll. "No questions, Sir," the second troll remarked, avoiding eye contact with the Commander. Although he stood as straight as he could, his back was still slightly hunched. The Commander continued, "Serihilda must be handled tonight." His voice was monotone, utterly void of any emotion. And his black eyes looked like pools of darkness on his huge head. "We will take care of her before the sun rises," the lead troll responded. "Do you know the consequences if you are not successful?" The Commander glared at the trolls-one then the other ... The Commander sniffed hard. Green ooze that had dripped down his face from his nostrils was sucked back up into his nose. The Commander then spat the green glob out of his mouth onto the ground. SPLAT! With a dismissal wave of his hand, the Commander of the Trolls turned and walked away. Both trolls listened to the sound of the Commander's heavy footsteps. "We must depart now." The eyes of the lead troll glimmered.

The Snow Queen soon realizes that their dark magic is even more powerful than Drosselmeyer's. The noble queen is out of options to defeat the Dark Forces. 13-year-old Clara, Prince Dustin, and Princess Sugar Plum, a tree fairy, will have to battle a sinister and haunting power before they can save the kingdoms in the forest. However, it might already be too late. Prince Dustin and Clara ... a classic tale of fantasy and adventure! Excerpt (c) Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved. Deeper in the Black Forest, far away from the Land of Sweets and Land of Snow, evil lurks in every shadow. Far away from sugar plums and candy canes, gingerbread, and apple strudel, eerie creatures roam and wander. Scary monsters, sorcerers, wild animals, and giant beasts dwell in this forsaken place. The land is full of enchantment and magic but seldom a happy ending. ◊◊◊"Do you have any questions about your orders?" The Commander of the Trolls said. His deep voice echoed off the walls of the cave like the clap of thunder. "Sir, your orders were clear," the lead troll replied. He then shot a glance at the other troll. "No questions, Sir," the second troll remarked, avoiding eye contact with the Commander. Although he stood as straight as he could, his back was still slightly hunched. The Commander continued, "Serihilda must be handled tonight." His voice was monotone, utterly void of any emotion. And his black eyes looked like pools of darkness on his huge head. "We will take care of her before the sun rises," the lead troll responded. "Do you know the consequences if you are not successful?" The Commander glared at the trolls-one then the other ... The Commander sniffed hard. Green ooze that had dripped down his face from his nostrils was sucked back up into his nose. The Commander then spat the green glob out of his mouth onto the ground. SPLAT! With a dismissal wave of his hand, the Commander of the Trolls turned and walked away. Both trolls listened to the sound of the Commander's heavy footsteps. "We must depart now." The eyes of the lead troll glimmered.
