Book Description
This book is for all little boys and girls who love fairies and pixies. Hewe we have a story about a boy named Wendell, who lives in Boston and likes fairy stories and baseball MUCH more than he likes fractions – but he does like reading and can be found in the children’s section of the library on most days. He even checked fairytale books out of the library and took them home with him. At night his parents had to take the books away from him as he was quite often found in the early hours of the morning reading a book under his covers with a torch. Then Wendell reads about the Wishing Stone. On making enquiries he finds it is no longer where his book said it would be and he starts to make enquiries as to its current whereabouts – and so starts Wendell’s adventure across Boston and into the land of Fairydom.

The Brighton School and the Birth of British Film
Author: Frank Gray
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030175057
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This study is devoted to the work of two early British filmmakers, George Albert Smith and James Williamson, and the films that they made around 1900. Internationally, they are known collectively as the ‘Brighton School’ and are positioned as being at the forefront of Britain’s contribution to the birth of film. The book focuses on the years 1896 to 1903, as it was during this short period that film emerged as a new technology, a new enterprise and a new form of entertainment. Beginning with a historiography of the Brighton School, the study goes on to examine the arrival of the first 35mm films in Britain, the first film exhibitions in Brighton and the first projection of film in Brighton. Both Smith and Williamson’s work features a progression from the production of single shot unedited films to multi-shot edited films. Their subject matter was inspired by a knowledge of contemporary pantomime, humour, literature, theatre, mesmerism, the magic lantern and current affairs and their practices were underpinned by active involvement in the new film trade. Through the exploration of how these filmmakers cultivated a new way of understanding film and its commercial potential, this book establishes them as key figures in the development of British film culture.

Interview with Rumpelstiltskin Junior
Author: Lilly Fröhlich
Publisher: TWENTYSIX
ISBN: 3740762837
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Everyone knows Rumpelstiltskin - but do you know his son? I, Emma Valentino, am 14 years old and almost a normal teenager. Actually, I had planned to hand over an invitation to my dream boy Steven for my fancy-dress party. Brave enough, I had asked my aunt on a night of a full moon to drive me to his house because in the daytime, the heartthrob of my school was constantly mobbed by that stupid Anastasia and her girlfriends. But then, it was all quite different. Suddenly, I sat in an isolated cabin in front of a shock-headed dwarf, who claimed to be Rumpelstiltskin's son. Rumpelstiltskin Junior was fed up that his father went down in the fairytale history of the 'humanlings' as a villain. And, he wanted to get away with prejudices. As a quid pro quo for the interview, he promised me a date with Steven. Nevertheless, the fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin, the revengeful King Laurentz, the bored Princess Anna, the superior Giant Maximus and the streetwise 'Pixian' Jakob had more than just one surprise in store. And so, I tumbled into a fairytale adventure instead of a date with Steven.

A Tent by the Creek
Author: Jean Werly
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460233026
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Not one of the four Southern California best-friends could have imagined the significance of a summer dance at Bass Lake in 1938—attended by friend, Cozzette. That dance amazingly, would be a pivotal event, changing the direction of all of their young lives. When summer came in 1939 Cozzette was starting married life on a U.S. Forest Service ranger station not far from Yosemite. Her first home wasn’t a house at all, rather a tent next to a little creek. Ironically, that unique and rustic little tent home, would be the spot Cozzette’s three hometown friends, would each meet the man they would marry. By summer of 1941, Jean was a newlywed and had also left their Southern California hometown; she too would be starting married on that same ranger station, in the same tents Cozzette and Frank had shared. Jean knew, prior to moving to the ranger station, her new life would surely take some adapting to. It was a bit overwhelming considering; there was no electricity, poor phone service, and no indoor plumbing. A special time remembered—a memoir—a charming story recounting life on a ranger station, the men and their work and life-long friendships; all the backdrop to a sweet, light hearted love story. Delightfully throughout, there will be smiles, chuckles and the laugh-out-loud adventures, that life held. Author Jean Werly also gives an interesting first hand look at local history and life during The Depression and World War II. Jean came to realize; sometimes the thing you feel you couldn’t possibly adapt to—ends up being the sweetest adventure of all—and indeed something worth sharing, as she has done wonderfully here. It was a magic time, like a fairytale adventure, and as a perfect ending should be, they did indeed live happily ever after. Book 1 1939-1946
