The Phoenix & The Peacock A Tale of Feathers & Hidden Treasures
Author: Sienna Storm
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105795780
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
A wicked shaman traps a golden eagle and disguises her as a phoenix. She is to be a pawn in his villainous scheme to swindle the townsfolk out of their money, but will he succeed? 'The Phoenix & The Peacock' is an atheist short story for teenagers. They will enjoy the use of rhyme, the emotive plot and the inclusion of some remarkable birds as metaphors. It is also subtly educational. Not only does it introduce the philosophies of both science and humanism but, through the comfortable medium of exciting fiction, it gently warns of the dangers of ultra-religious cults. The book's goal is to be light, engaging and thought-provoking; to succeed in conveying a message where a long prescriptive factual tome would surely bore and fail. At the end there is a 'Did You Know?' section full of interesting scientific facts related to the story, including an explanation of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 11+ years
