6. Floor Games (Annotated)
by: H. G. Wells Release date: Oct 08, 2015 Number of Pages: 34 Find in Library Read Review |
*An active Table of Contents has been added by the publisher for a better customer experience.
*This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors.
Floor Games is a book published in 1911 by H. G. Wells. This light-hearted volume argues in a humorously dictatorial tone that “The jolliest indoor games for boys and girls demand a floor.” It briefly describes a number of games that can be played on “well lit and airy” floors with “four main groups” of toys: soldiers about two inches high (Wells regrets the “curse of militarism” that makes civilians hard to find), largish wooden bricks, boards and planks, and electric railway rolling-stock and rails. Various remarks show that the book is based on Wells’s experience of playing such games with his two sons, George Philip “Gip” Wells (1901-1985) and Frank Richard Wells (1903-1982), identified here only by their initials.

10. The Maid of the North: Feminist Folk Tales from Around the World
by: Ethel Johnston Phelps, Lloyd Bloom Release date: Sep 15, 1982 Number of Pages: 192 Find in Library Read Review |
The tales themselves are part of an oral tradition that document a generation according to the values of the time. Phelps has given these older tales a fresh, contemporary retelling for a new generation of readers, young and old. She shapes each story—adding or omitting details—to reflect her sense of a feminist folk or fairy tale.
The twenty-one tales collected represent a wide variety of countries; approximately seventeen ethnic cultures from North America to Europe to Asia tell a story in which women play a leading or crucial role in the story.

20. Pilgrim’s Progress 2: Christiana’s Story
by: John Bunyan Release date: Nov 20, 2013 Number of Pages: 176 Find in Library Read Review |
John Bunyan could be said to have authored the most influential book in the English language (other than the King James Bible) but The Pilgrim’s Progress is so much more than an historic novel. It was written in two parts. The first (and most famous) part involves Pilgrim leaving his wife and children and risking everything to get to the heavenly city. The second part, which this book is, tells the story of how his wife and children follow him to reach the same destination. Bunyan wants you to travel through this book as an adventure through the Christian life – retold on paper and in pictures. This sequel has an equal place in the hearts of those that read it. Some regard it as even better – though it isn’t so well known. If you haven’t read Christiana’s story before then you will enjoy a new set of challenges to overcome as Christian’s wife and children make their way to the heavenly city. Yet again Bunyan’s imaginative text brings out practical and necessary lessons that everyone needs to know – both yesterday and today.Additional features and study sections have been included to help today’s generation to understand the book. These will help you to get behind some of the characters and places described. There is a ‘life summary’ of Bunyan and some ideas on how to use this book. Some archaic words have been changed to modern equivalents but most of the difficult words are dealt with by using a dictionary and footnotes.This means that although Christiana and her family talk like the medieval travellers they are, you can understand what they’re on about!
