![]() ![]() ![]() My much worn front cover of Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeildīallet Shoes, which opens in 1920, is the story of three foundlings, Pauline, Petrova and Posy, adopted as babies by the eccentric fossil-hunter, Professor Matthew Brown, known as Great-Uncle Matthew (Gum for short). They were allowed to have their own adventures, as opposed to being also rans in boys’ adventure stories. ![]() Both had to struggle with abandonment and loneliness and, in Sara’s case, poverty. Writers like Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) wrote books with female heroines who were firmly centre stage – like orphans Sara Crewe in A Little Princess (1902) and Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden (1911). ![]() The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been called the Golden Age for children’s books, especially, perhaps, books aimed at girls. Noel Streatfeild (1895-1986) Courtesy of Wikipedia My own, very worn, copy has the original illustrations by Ruth Gervis (1894-1988) which I’ve always thought were just right. Noel Streatfeild’s Ballet Shoes(1936) was one of my favourite books as a child and I suspect that many other girls have also loved it because, eighty-two years later, it is still in print. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved how Tanner’s mother was literally a walking bumper sticker for her son. It should not be conditional.Īnd yet we see in both Sebastian and Tanner how those who claim to love us can either do so with conditions or without. The meaning of love between family members, between parents and child, between God and creation, between church and congregation. This book really looks at the meaning of love. But so much more stood out to me about this book. Sure, it’s a book about two teens coming to find their soulmates in a high school English class. It’s a poignant story about identity that was both heart-wrenching and beautiful at the same time.Ĭhristina Lauren has been a favorite author of mine for awhile but they showed me a different side of their work in this young adult romance. It is so much more than a romance book too.

I believe that Bradford Wright’s background is a big part of why this book works. He packs in a lot of information and analysis, and then moves on to another topic, while writing in a style that keeps you interested and moving forward. Wright’s chapters are relatively short, considering all they cover. When looking at the 1950s, for instance, he uses romance comics to illustrate the pressure put on women to return to domestic roles, and superhero books to show the importance placed on order and obedience to authority. ![]() Wright does a nice job of showing how comic books can be used to introduce and interpret historical events and eras. This book is an excellent introduction to comic book history that is accessible to those who are not steeped in comic book culture, yet it’s detailed and rich enough to satisfy lifelong fans as well. ![]() ![]() E que o romance começou enquanto ele torturava e mantinha o assassino em cativeiro! | Eu tentando explicar pras pessoas, o porquê de ter dado 5 estrelas para um livro em que o chefe da máfia se apaixona pelo assassino da sua esposa. #leitura #leitora #books #booktokbrasil #livros #leitores #romancebooks #booktok #bookrecommendations #recomendacaodelivros #booktoker #kindleunlimited #kindleunlimitedromance #darkromance #mlmbooks #queerbook #lgbtqbooks #mmromance".
