Book Description
Poor Charles! He's going to be late for school again. Charles just can't keep his mind on what he's supposed to be doing. When he is having breakfast, he is thinking about Niagara Falls. When he is in math class, he is thinking about aeronautics. When he walks down a breezy street collecting seed pods, he is thinking about a new nose. Charles is always thinking about something else. When his teacher, Miss Crocky, sends him to the principal's office for disrupting the class again, kind Mr. Mickle suggests that Charles be less absent-minded and more present-minded. Charles sits down and thinks about it. It is not that Charles is naughty. But no matter how hard he tries, his thoughts wander. Nothing seems to help. That is, until his hero, Great Uncle Crocódila, pays the family a surprise visit. This is a new book about Charles, written and illustrated by Aliki — the third in a delightful series that follows the award-winning Keep Your Mouth Closed, Dear and Use Your Head, Dear.

Hitler's Housewives
Author: Tim Heath
Publisher: Pen and Sword History
ISBN: 152674810X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The meteoric rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party cowed the masses into a sense of false utopia. During Hitlers 1932 election campaign over half those who voted for Hitler were women. Germanys women had witnessed the anarchy of the post-First World War years, and the chaos brought about by the rival political gangs brawling on their streets. When Hitler came to power there was at last a ray of hope that this man of the people would restore not only political stability to Germany but prosperity to its people. As reforms were set in place, Hitler encouraged women to step aside from their jobs and allow men to take their place. As the guardian of the home, the women of Hitlers Germany were pinned as the very foundation for a future thousand-year Reich. Not every female in Nazi Germany readily embraced the principle of living in a society where two distinct worlds existed, however with the outbreak of the Second World War, Germanys women would soon find themselves on the frontline. Ultimately Hitlers housewives experienced mixed fortunes throughout the years of the Second World War. Those whose loved ones went off to war never to return; those who lost children not only to the influences of the Hitler Youth but the Allied bombing; those who sought comfort in the arms of other young men and those who would serve above and beyond of exemplary on the German home front. Their stories form intimate and intricately woven tales of life, love, joy, fear and death. Hitlers Housewives: German Women on the Home Front is not only an essential document towards better understanding one of the twentieth centurys greatest tragedies where the women became an inextricable link, but also the role played by Germanys women on the home front which ultimately became blurred within the horrors of total war. This is their story, in their own words, told for the first time.
