Gods Don't Cry
A bold and brilliant collection of ancient stories that challenge the modern notion of what it means to be a hero. The ancient gods of Ireland were once worshipped throughout the land. Powerful and brave, they were unafraid to show their vulnerability, reject violence, or lean on others for support. Sadly, their stories--passed down by our ancestors--are all but forgotten. Gods Don't Cry reawakens these gods, whose ancient tales redefine modern ideas of what it means to be a hero. From Mannan獺n, who uses his neurodiversity to discover the Otherworld, to M矇iche, who finds the courage to accept his illness, Fer Maisse, a monster slayer who gives up glory to become a healer, and Cn繳 Der籀il, who overcomes bullies with his musical talent. Hurlers and warriors, academics, and activists--these are gods of many abilities, sizes, and skin shades, from every corner of Ireland. Follow their adventures as they perform magic, battle demons, overcome struggles and find the courage to be true to themselves. You might even see yourself in their stories and discover, that you too, are a hero.
Jock the Croc
Jock the Croc is a whimsical children's poetic tale that recounts the life of a crocodile named Jock, whose life undergoes a peculiar metamorphosis. It all begins with his name, mysteriously endowing him with an ever-increasing sense of Scottishness. As the story unfolds, Jock transforms into a fully-fledged tartan-clad, bagpipe-playing Scotsman with a weakness for haggis, much to the bewilderment of his family and fellow crocodiles, who content themselves with lounging on riverbanks.The plot thickens when, many years later, it is revealed that Jock is not only alive but may be encountered in the wilds of either Scotland or Africa. Children adventuring through lochs jungles might hear Jock upon his pipe. Those fortunate enough to find him might also be led to his secret Scottish city inhabited by hundreds of kilt-wearing crocodiles.It's said that an encounter with Jock the Croc could impart that same Scottishness that transformed his life. So, you may find yourself saying "Och aye the noo!" when you meant to say something entirely different - so it really could happen to you!

Household Stories (Annotated)
The Brothers Grimm, Jacob as well as Wilhelm Grimm, released a selection of German fairy tale Stories titled "Household Stories by the Grimm" in 1812. " Kinder- und Hausm''rchen " (Childhood and Household Tales) is the original German title. The collection has acquired worldwide fame and also includes popular tales as "Cinderella," "The Frog Prince," "Hansel and Gretel," "Rhapunzel," "Snow White" and "Rumpelstilt kin."These tales had been compiled by the Grimm Brothers who were academics, philologists as well as cultural researchers involved in a bigger project aiming at protecting as well as determining the cultural heritage of the German-speaking areas. They gathered stories from different oral and written sources, aiming to capture them in a form close to their folk roots.The tales in "Household Stories" vary considerably; Some are moralistic and light while others are dark and have themes unsuitable for kids today. These stories have had several adaptations over time, sometimes softening the darker aspects to make them much more attractive to a contemporary young audience.The Grimm Brothers' work has broader importance than merely entertainment. The collection is an excellent scholarly asset that offers detailed information on the cultural and social history of german - speaking world. The stories are translated into many other languages and form a crucial part of the Western literary tradition, art, influencing literature, popular culture and film worldwide.

Dit boek maakt deel uit van een reeks ge簿llustreerde jeugdboeken van de hand van de Afghaanse filosoof en pedagoog Idries Shah, wiens verhalenbundels en leerzame verhalen de harten en geesten van mensen uit alle lagen van de bevolking hebben veroverd. Het behoort tot een rijke verteltraditie uit Afghanistan, Centraal-Azi禱 en het Midden-Oosten die meer dan 1000 jaar oud is. Dit eenvoudige verhaal laat kinderen onder andere zien hoe een blinde impuls om te "winnen" zonder na te denken over de gevolgen, kan uitlopen op het tegenovergestelde effect.

(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) A king, who wants for nothing, learns that a life of plenty doesn't make up for a lack of skills or common sense. Once he has learned his lesson, the king is careful to make sure that his daughter marries a man who can earn his own living. Rather than the usual happily-ever-after story of a prince and princess, this tale shows children that taking the time to learn is far better, in the long run, than being handed everything on a plate.This story is one of many teaching stories collected and adapted by the Afghan philosopher Idries Shah, who told them to his own children to promote thinking skills and impart wisdom. These unique tales have their roots in Central Asia and the Middle East. They are published now in beautifully illustrated editions, so as to appeal both to children in the lands in which they originated and to children in the West, the aim being to teach through humor and example, and to draw attention to our commonalties.(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Een koning, die niets wil, leert dat een leven in overvloed een gebrek aan vaardigheden of gezond verstand niet goedmaakt. Als hij zijn lesje heeft geleerd, zorgt de koning ervoor dat zijn dochter trouwt met een man die zijn eigen brood kan verdienen. In plaats van het gebruikelijke happy end verhaal van een prins en prinses, laat dit verhaal kinderen zien dat de tijd nemen om te leren op de lange termijn veel beter is dan alles op een presenteerblaadje te krijgen. Dit verhaal is een van de vele leerzame verhalen die de Afghaanse filosoof Idries Shah heeft verzameld en bewerkt. Hij vertelde ze aan zijn eigen kinderen om het denkvermogen en wijsheid te bevorderen. Deze unieke verhalen vinden hun oorsprong in Centraal-Azi禱 en het Midden-Oosten. Ze worden nu gepubliceerd, prachtig ge簿llustreerd, zodat ze zowel kinderen in de landen waar ze vandaan komen als kinderen in het westen aanspreken, met als doel te onderwijzen door middel van humor en voorbeelden en de aandacht te vestigen op onze gemeenschappelijkheden.
