The Tale of Pony Twinkleheels

The Tale of Pony Twinkleheels by Arthur Scott Bailey

The Tale of Pony Twinkleheels by Arthur Scott Bailey

When Johnnie Green sent him along the road at a trot, Twinkleheels’ tiny feet moved so fast that you could scarcely have told one from another. Being a pony, and only half as big as a horse, he had to move his legs twice as quickly as a horse did in order to travel at a horse’s speed. Twinkleheels’ friends knew that he didn’t care to be beaten by any horse, no matter how long-legged. “It’s spirit, not size, that counts,” Farmer Green often remarked as he watched Twinkleheels tripping out of the yard, sometimes with Johnnie on his back, sometimes drawing Johnnie in a little, red-wheeled buggy. Old dog Spot agreed with Farmer Green. When Twinkleheels first came to live on the farm Spot had thought him something of a joke.

The Children’s Life of the Bee

The Children's Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck

The Children's Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck

Buzz, buzz, buzz. A fascinating and beautifully written explanation of the life of the honey bee. Is the queen the master of the hive or just a hard working servant? What is the purpose of the drones? Why do bees make honey? Do bees ever sleep? Why do bees swarm? Maeterlinck, who won the Noble Prize for Literature, wrote a more scholarly work called The Life of the Bee but then rewrote it in simpler terms so that children could appreciate what goes in a hive. The book describes in simple language the inner workings of a hive from its beginning with a swarm to the fully functional hive with thousands of workers, drones and a queen busily building, repairing and gathering.

The Wonderful Garden

The Wonderful Garden by E. Nesbit

The Wonderful Garden by E. Nesbit

Do you believe in magic? Caroline, Charles and Charlotte do, and nothing that happens during their summer holiday at their great uncle’s house does anything to diminish that belief. There the Three C.’s find a wonderful garden and some very old books, resulting in escapades which do not necessarily please the grown-ups.

E. Nesbit, as usual, transports us back to the hazy summer days of a well-to-do Edwardian childhood, liberally spiced with magic, humor and lessons learned.

Published exactly 100 years ago, this is one of her least-known children’s books, out of print for many years, and with no text available online at the time of recording. Yes, it’s dated. Yes, it’s politically incorrect. But it is delightful nonetheless. As Gore Vidal once wrote: “…though a reading of E. Nesbit is hardly going to change the pattern of a nation, there is some evidence that the child who reads her will never be quite the same again, and that is probably a good thing.

Nine Unlikely Tales

Nine Unlikely Tales by E. Nesbit

Nine original and, yes, unlikely fairy-tales, which include stories of the arithmetic fairy, the king who became a charming villa-residence and the dreadful automatic nagging machine.

All are classic-Nesbit: charming, novel and not afraid to squeeze in a moral or two — told with proper fairy-tale style.

Stories From the Arabian Nights

Stories From the Arabian Nights by Laurence Housman

Stories From the Arabian Nights by Laurence Housman

Scheherazadè, the heroine of the Thousand and one Nights, ranks among the great story-tellers of the world but the great quantity of her stories were meant to stave off her death and so we can expect a few to be not of the best quality. The six stories chosen here to be retold by Laurence Housman however, are some of the very best to be had among all of them. They are beautifully written and deserve to be ‘told’ by readers who enjoy telling stories.
