Fairy Tales From Another World Volume 2
What if the fairies wrote their own stories? What would they say about themselves? What would they say about humans? Have they been maligned throughout history? I've always wanted to meet a fairy, but I doubt I ever will. I'm not sure if there're even real. Fairies inhabit our imagination and mythology and live in every culture. Even the science fiction aliens of today are inspired by fairies. If fairies are so constant throughout folk stories, how could they not be real? In our inherited mythology fairies can be good or evil or just tricksters. They bite, make love, hurt people, help them, correct wrongs, and are mostly misunderstood. They avoid humans because they're offended by our crude behavior and live just outside our sight, preferring to be active at night. They are often pictured without clothes because they are modest in thought and do not carry our impure thoughts, or so the mythology goes. This is all wonderful for dreams and fantasy stories, but where in human psychology do these magical beings come from? They must be hidden in some primordial memory we inherit. This book for young adults and the young at heart explores the fairies that live in the 21st century imagination. This is the second book in a series.

Liani
My earliest memory isn't one of fire and falling, of pain and fear and sorrow too great for a child. That's what people believe it is. That's what I tell them it is when Aba has me speak to small, trusted bands of slaves to encourage them. But that's a lie. It's one of my memories-a strong one that weaves itself into my nightmares, forcing me awake drenched in sweat and tears. But when I soothe myself back to sleep, I remember my earliest memory is actually of sitting on my ima's lap, dangling a flower in front of my baby brother's face while she sings us a lullaby.Lia Benarvela was born with a different name, similar but different-Asil Liani Hara Elisya.

When an unexpected move from the emperor forces her back into the palace that makes up the setting of her nightmares, Lia knows that plans have changed.But when she rushes ahead in a desperate effort to fulfill her destiny, she ends up becoming a trophy of the empire rather than a rescuer.

Oinkink / Qu獺qui
(Bilingual English-Portuguese edition) In this very humorous tale, a man greedily hopes to have the skills and senses of a different animal but is so impatient to have his wish granted that he finds himself limiting his abilities, rather than enhancing them. This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by the Afghan philosopher and educator Idries Shah, whose collections of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a rich storytelling tradition from Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East that is more than 1,000 years old. These stories are not only entertaining; they are designed specifically to foster thinking skills and perception. They suggest, in their structure and in the movement of their characters, ways of looking at difficulties that can help solve them. Among other things, this simple story shows children how a blind impulse to "win," without considering the consequences, can end up having the opposite effect.(edi癟瓊o bil穩ngue em ingl礙s-portugu礙s) Neste conto muito bem humorado, um homem avidamente espera ter as habilidades e os sentidos de diferentes animais, mas est獺 t瓊o impaciente para ter seu desejo atendido que se v礙 limitando suas habilidades, em vez de melhor獺-las.

The Noise Upstairs
Kassia is having a hard time going to sleep at night. The problem is getting worse, as she keeps hearing noises from the apartment upstairs and begins to imagine all sorts of scary monsters coming for her. The Noise Upstairs is more common than we think, especially as it concerns young children. Is it really scary noises that keep children from falling asleep? Author Ada N. Letelier believes that a child's request to "read it again, mommy or daddy" is a child's plea for their parents to stay with them a bit longer, or at least until they fall asleep. About The Author: Ada N. Letelier is a retired early childhood teacher and administrator. She started her career at the Goddard-Riverside Head Start Center, teaching three- and four-year-olds, and worked her way up to becoming first an assistant principal and later principal at two public schools in New York City. As in her last book, Where Are My Teeth?/聶D籀nde est獺n Mis Dientes?, she tries to help parents deal with a common problem, bedtime apprehension, and to let them know they are not alone. Antonia Acu簽a is a Chilean artist who collaborated with the author on her previous four books. She is skillful in creating delightfully entertaining drawings that bring the author織s words to life.

The Fairy Tale Fan Club: Legendary Letters Collected by C.C. Cecily
What if you could send fan mail to your fairy tale idols? And what if they wrote back? "Happily ever after" takes on a new meaning in this book from actor-comedian-author Richard Ayoade and best-selling illustrator David Roberts. It's once upon a time . . . as only the irreverently witty Richard Ayoade can tell it. In this series of letters organized by C. C. Cecily, Senior Secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club, the fairest of them all (and a few bitter foes) correspond with curious--and opinionated--fans. So if you've ever wondered how a less-than-genius (and less-than-clothed) emperor fell for a certain con, how the Big Bad Wolf is handling meatless Mondays, or whether Rapunzel recommends going for the big chop, no need to look far, far away. Multihyphenate Richard Ayoade, author of The Book That No One Wanted to Read, hilariously imagines what questions modern children would have for characters such as Sleeping Beauty, Prince Charming, and Little Red Riding Hood--and what they might have to say in return. Complete with clever, spoof-gothic illustrations from David Roberts, this wry storybook may have even the Brothers Grimm cackling in their graves.
