Allie the Albino Squirrel (Mom's Choice Award(R) Gold Medal Recipient) by E K McCoy Pdf

For any child who has ever felt unsure about the kind of squirrel they truly are. Allie is the only albino squirrel in all of Waverly Woods. Being the only one with white fur makes her feel different and unsure of herself. With the help of Momma Squirrel and a new friend, Bree, Allie is reminded that the color of her fur isn't the only thing that defines her. Really, what defines her is all the wonderful qualities that live inside of her heart. In Allie the Albino Squirrel, author E.K. McCoy uses her years of experience working with children to remind us that there isn't just one thing that defines who we are. All the qualities we possess are used to better the world, and where Allie sees herself as "strange," Bree sees her as beautiful and kind. With fun illustrations by Ghazal Qadri, this wonderful book of self-acceptance will be a joy to all children! A percentage of all proceeds will go to foundations that support children's hospitals and literacy programs.

The Plays of John Lyly by Michael Pincombe Pdf

John Lyly, Shakespeare's forerunner in English comedy, wrote eight highly individual plays. This study of the plays, with each chapter devoted to a different play, concentrates on the courtly aspects of Lyly's work - he wrote all but one of his plays for court performance. In particular, it examines the relationship of Lylian drama to royal panegyric, a kind of writing which he did much to establish. However, the plays also present a parody of panegyric, and thus might also be said to have a counter-courtly aspect.

John Lyly by Ruth Lunney Pdf

John Lyly is the first collection of essays dedicated solely to the work of this University Wit, celebrity prose writer, and playwright to the court of Elizabeth. Lyly's energy and wit inspired his contemporaries to follow new directions in prose fiction and stage comedy, and his writings still illuminate sixteenth-century culture for the modern reader. The twenty-four essays in this selection include some older classics, but most date from 1990 onwards and reflect current critical concerns with politics and sexuality, class and audience. Both Euphues books and the eight plays receive some detailed attention. The essays are grouped into four sections: Lessons in Wit, Courting the Queen, Playing with Desire, and Performing Lyly. A biographical summary and critical survey are provided in the introduction; other voices and insights are alluded to in the notes and listed in the wide-ranging bibliography.
