Book Description
Tales of Bong Tree Island is an entertaining and informative illustrated historical fantasy book for people of all ages who enjoy Edward Lear's poem The Owl and The Pussycat, but have always wanted to know more. World famous explorer, Martine Bates of Gloucester, MA, is contacted by the Queen of England and invited to lead an expedition to locate the land where the Bong Trees grow. & ;British subjects and legends, Barney and Caterina (aka The Owl and The Pussycat), had departed Ramsgate, England on December 31, 1870 in search of a place where they could be free to love and marry without fear of interspecies relationship discrimination. They had sailed for a year and a day and finally reached the land where Bong Trees grow and interspecies marriage is accepted, but no one had ever heard from them again or been able to locate the place where they had settled. A good friend of the Royal Family, explorer and photographer, Alpheus Pomfry, had traveled in search of Bong Tree Island in 1908, but never returned and was presumed lost at sea.& ;With the help of an old map created by Alpheus Pomfry that Martine Bates finds in the attic of his grandnephew, Pip Pomfry, and a pod of dolphins that help lead the way, after a year and a day, Martine reaches Bong Tree Island, which is hidden in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. There she meets the owlpusses (or owlcats as some prefer to be called), descendents of Barney and Caterina, and other inhabitants of Bong Tree Island. She conducts interviews with the descendants and learns the history and genealogy of Barney and Caterina, and all about bong trees, Bong Tree Island and some of the rare inhabitants unique to the island, such as hedgepiggywigs, hummingbunnybirds, painted manaturtles, Assiri (aquatic cave dwelling fairies) and more. Tales of Bong Tree Island is a chronicle of Martine's travel adventures and compilation of the interviews she conducted while on Bong Tree Island, along with the great wisdom and lessons that could only be imparted by creatures such as owlpusses and hedgepiggywigs.

Beatrix Potter
Author: M. Daphne Kutzer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113538407X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Beatrix Potter was one of the inventors of the contemporary picture book, and her small novels published at the turn of the twentieth century are still available and popular today. Writing in Code is the first book-length study of Potter's work, and it covers the entire oeuvre, examining all facets of her work in relation to her private life. Daphne Kutzer reveals the depth of the symbolism in Potter’s work and relates this to the issues of the author's own development as an independent woman and writer, and her struggles with domesticity, Unitarianism, and the socio-political issues in late-19th and early-20th century England. Weaving the subtle themes inscribed in Potter's own stories with the concerns and temperament of the author who wrote them, Kutzer exemplifies literary criticism as it can illuminate the breadth of allusion in children's literature.
