Book Description
Everyone laughs at Jane for wanting to be a knight, except the court jester, who loans her his small suit of armor, and she spends her days practicing knightly duties. When a dragon steals the prince, Jane sets out to rescue him. After a long, wearisome battle, they sit down and talk about what's expected of dragons (stealing the prince) and knights (being men). In the end, she turns an enemy into a friend, returns the prince to his parents, becomes a proper knight with Saturdays off to visit a friend, and dances with the jester at the royal ball.

Book Description
Girls can do anything they set their minds to--even if they happen to live in 9th Century England. Based on characters from Martin Baynton's "Jane and the Dragon" books, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is the story of an unconventional, adolescent girl whose best friend is a talking, fire-breathing dragon. More suited to knighthood than the traditional role of lady in waiting, the headstrong Jane receives King Caradoc's permission to become the first female knight's apprentice after rescuing the young Prince. Jane is determined to succeed in becoming a knight in spite of a significant lack of support from her fellow knight-in-training Gunther. Her mental and physical strength shine as she trains with Sir Theodore, but equally important to her ultimate success is her mastery of lessons in teamwork, honesty, self-confidence, and taking responsibility for the consequences of her actions. Add in Jane's inherent sense of compassion, her dedication to helping others, and her strong friendships with Dragon, and castle servants Pepper, Rake, and Jester, and Jane is definitely one very special girl. The striking, pencil-drawn look of this animated series, combined with the animators' careful attention to details like how hair and fabrics look and move, give this production a powerful sense of uniqueness and authenticity. The bonus "The Art of Jane and the Dragon" featurette explores some of the goals and techniques used in the animation process while "Character Profiles" provides additional background information for each of the five main characters. Also included is the program's original concept art. An entertaining and inspiring tale of a strong young girl determined to live up to her full potential, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is a winner for kids ages 5 and older.

Book Description
This original anthology of noir fiction set in Maryland’s Charm City includes new stories by David Simon, Laura Lippman, Jim Fusilli, and more. As fans of the HBO series The Wire have known for years, Baltimore is home to a rich and diverse underworld that is matched by an equally rich and diverse literary tradition. This is the city where Dashiell Hammett worked as a Pinkerton agent. It’s also where Zelda Fitzgerald came for psychiatric treatment. In this sterling collection of noir fiction, some of Baltimore’s best authors “confront the full irony that is Charm City, a place where you can go from the leafy beauty of the North Side neighborhoods to the gutted ghettos of the West Side in less than twenty minutes, then find your way to the revamped Inner Harbor in another ten” (Laura Lippman, from the introduction). Baltimore Noir includes brand-new stories by David Simon, Laura Lippman, Tim Cockey, Rob Hiaasen, Robert Ward, Sujata Massey, Jack Bludis, Rafael Alvarez, Marcia Talley, Joseph Wallace, Lisa Respers France, Charlie Stella, Sarah Weinman, Dan Fesperman, Jim Fusilli, and Ben Neihart.
