Book Description
While this is not a history book, it does record the first and last ever visit to London by the Wallypug from the mysterious land of Zum. He came for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. We are not altogether sure what Queen Victoria thought of the Wallypug, as there is no record in the Royal Archive……?!?!? – but came he did. Because the Wallypug is not a listed Head of State and the Land of Zum does not appear on any official lists at the Home Office, the Wallypug was unceremoniously left off the list of formal invitations. As a result he resided with the author, George Farrow, in the centre of London. While in London he visits all the famous places like the Serpentine, where he fell into the lake when sailing a model boat, upsetting all the other boats. Then he was off to the Tower of London where he gets hopelessly lost. He almost gets arrested by the Metropolitan Police for impersonating a royal personage. Once rescued and returned home, the Police strongly advise that the Wallypug should be accompanied everywhere, as he simply causes too much mayhem when he goes out alone. Don’t look for Zum in your atlases nor on Google maps, for you won’t find it! But fear not! If, one day, you should want to visit the land of Zum: Just go to bed and shut your eyes And count one hundred, one by one; Perhaps you’ll find to your surprise That you’re in Zum when this is done. Do this, when the moon is full, And look for a tiny boat-shaped thing, You may see Pierrot sitting there And you may hear the little fellow sing. If you do, just call him, and he’ll come And carry you away to Zum. Did a royal invitation eventually arrive? – well you’ll have to download and read this little book to find out for yourself! 10% of the profit from the sale of this ebook will be donated to charities. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Wallypug, London, Queen Victoria, Jubilee, 1887, royal invitation, Land of Zum, Serpentine, lost, toy sailboat, metropolitan police, Wallypug of why, full moon, sleep, columbine, Doctor-in-Law, Majesty, Rhymester, Putchy, poor, door, declare, first, exclaim, love, General, Jane, Mary, One-and-Nine, surprise, Jubilee, children, crown, carriage, Grace, large, Duchess, window, Girlie, boy. ladies, letter, Kensington, sixpence,

Book Description
Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868). Her youngest sister May died in 1879 and Louisa took over the care of her niece nicknamed Lulu, who was named after Louisa and hence the name of this book. “Lulu's Library” is a collection of 33 illustrated children’s short stories originally published in three volumes between 1886–1889. Some of the 33 stories are: A Christmas Dream The Candy Country The Skipping Shoes Cockyloo The Frost King And How The Fairies Conquered Him Lilybell And Thistledown Ripple, The Water Sprite Eva's Visit To Fairyland The Silver Party The Blind Lark Music And Macaroni The Little Red Purse; plus many more. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT is best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In her later years Alcott suffered chronic health problems, including vertigo. She and her earliest biographers attributed her illness and death to mercury poisoning. During her American Civil War service, Alcott contracted typhoid fever and was treated with a compound containing mercury. Recent analysis of Alcott's illness suggests that her chronic health problems may have been associated with an autoimmune disease, not mercury exposure. However, mercury is a known trigger for autoimmune diseases as well. Be this as it may, even when extremely ill, Alcott was still able to pen these volumes as a memento to her niece, which says a lot about the personality and determination of Alcott herself. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Lulu, Library, Louisa May Alcott, Little Women, May Alcott, Lulu alcott, children’s stories, Christmas, dream, candy, country, naughty jocko, monkey, mischievous, ill booy, skipping shoes, dancing shoes, cockyloo, cockatoo, rosy's journey, rosy, how they ran away, run away, flee, fairy box, elves, elf, folklore, hole, wall, piggy girl, pigs, three frogs, baa baa, sheep, lambs, bleat, frost king, conquer, lilybell, thistledown, ripple, water sprite, eva visit, fairyland, sunshine, brothers, sisters, fairy spring, queen aster, brownie, princess, mermaids, little bud, flower's story, princes, pansies, recollections, childhood, Christmas turkey, silver party, blind lark, music, macaroni, little red purse, sophie, secret, dolly, bedstead, trudel, siege,

Who will they meet? Will the people they meet be good or will they be led astray?

He recounts a tale about the inspiration for Rumpty-Dudget; “My sister Una happened to be describing a queer character she had met that day: she had a gift for making swift and vivid portraits in words. “He was a little Rumpty-Dudget of a man,” she said, concluding her description. She may have meant to say, “Rumpelstiltskin,” the name of a dwarf immortalised in the Grimm fairy-tales, with which we had been familiar in our childhood. But her variation struck me soundly, and I said to myself, I’ll write a story about him!” But, in truth, the story, upon that inspiration, wrote itself. I had a fine time with it, and my own children, to whom it was read in manuscript, heartily approved it. Then Alexander Strahan, the publisher, and the first editor of the famous Contemporary Review, saw it and proclaimed, with many a Scottish burr, that it was “a varra fine piece of worrk, my boy, and does ye credit,” and he carried it off and published it in his new magazine for children.

Book Description
Carl Sandburg’s ROOTABAGA PIGEONS is the sequel to Rootabaga Stories. This ebook is a most wonderful, magical flight of imagination that could ever be put in a printed format. Wonderfully whimsical in the same genre of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”, and like Alice in Wonderland, this volume is not to be missed. The whimsical, and sometimes melancholy stories, which often use nonsense language, were originally created for the three Sandburg daughters. The girl’s nicknames were “Spink”, “Skabootch” and “Swipes.” Each name appears in both Rootabaga stories, and offered here in the Rootabaga Pigeons. The Rootabaga stories were born of Sandburg’s desire for American fairy tales to match American childhoods. He felt that the European stories involving royalty and knights were inappropriate in an American setting, and so set his stories in the fictionalized Rootabaga country-that closely resembles the American Midwest-a place filled with farms, trains, and corn fairies. A large number of the stories are told by the Potato Face Blind Man, an old minstrel from the “Village of Liver-and-Onions” who watches the world go by from in front of the local post office. Originally published in 1923, the second volume of Carl Sandburg's beloved Rootabaga Stories includes tales about "Big People Now" and "Little People Long Ago." The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet wrote these American fairy tales for his children while they were growing up in the American Midwest. This edition contains the illustrations of Maud and Miska Petersham. 10% of the profit from the sale of this ebook will be donated to charities. ================= KEYWORDS/TAGS: Rootabaga Pigeons, fantasy stories, children’s stories, children’s books, folklore, fairy tales, fantasy tales, fables, Balloons, Blind, Blixie blimp, blue, boomers, Bozo, brass, bugs, buttons, cats, clock, corn, corner, Dippy, gold, goose, gringo, Hatrack, Hoo, Horse, Huckabuck, Jonas, king, lumber, moon, morning, people, Peter, pigs, Pony, pop, Potato face, Puffs, queen, Rootabaga land, roses, shadow, silver, sky, snoox, summer, thousand, umbrella, Village, wild, wildcats, wind, Wisp, Yang, yellow, zig-zag, zoom, Spink, Skabootch, Swipes, wonderful, whimsical, carl sandburg, nonsense, childhood, minstrel, liver-and-onions, post office, big people, little people, Pulitzer, prize-winning, American fairy tales, Midwest,

Book Description
Times are tough in and around the Little Brown House! The widowed Mrs. Pepper has to sew all day long just to earn enough to pay the rent and to feed the five growing Peppers. But she faces poverty and trouble with a stout heart, a smiling face, and the help of her jolly brood: blue-eyed Ben, the eldest and the man of the house at the age of 11; pretty Polly, so eager to cook for the family and make everyone happy and comfortable; and the three littlest Peppers, Joel, Davie, and baby Phronsie. The Pepper family would soon become beloved by readers all over America. Young people avidly followed the adventures of Ben, Polly, Joel, Davie, and Phronsie. While faced with many plausible trials and obstacles they remain eternally optimistic in the face of adversity, and reflect the real life issues of so many of their readers. Their universally appealing wholesome values and lives are not burdened with a heavy moralising tone which was present in many other popular works of the day. A favorite of children, parents, and teachers for generations, this heartwarming classic first appeared in 1880. Since then, it has inspired countless young imaginations with its tender tales of the ways in which courage and good cheer can overcome adversity. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ==================== KEYWORDS/TAGS: the stories Polly Pepper told, Ann, ants, Araminta, arm, bad breath, bag, bags, basket, bear, beautiful, bed, Beebe, begged, Ben, better, Betty, bird, boys, Brook, Brown house, care, cheeks, chicken, children, corner, cried, cross, cry, Dave, David, Davie, dear, Dick, door, dreadful, dreadfully, end, everybody, exclaimed, eyes, fat, Father, fine, flew, glad, going, goose, Grandpapa, gray, green, hair, hand, hard, head, held, help, hiding place, hop, hopped, hundred, hurry, indeed, Jasper, Joe, Joel, Joey, jump, kitchen, kittle brown house, lady, laugh, laughed, like, little, Little, long, looked, loud, lovely, Lucy, made, Mamsie, Mamsie, man, mean, middle, minute, Mother, Mrs, Pepper, Nutcracker, old, Percy, perfect, Phronsie, Phronsie’s, pink, poor, pray, pretty, promised, queer, red, Richard, roared, robbers, screamed, shaking, shoes, show, sigh, Silly, single, sit, Sophia, splendid, sticks, stone, stories, stove, stuck, suddenly, table, tears, three, together, took, tumble, turn, umbrella, Van, voice, white, Whitney, wish, woman, work, worse, yellow,
