The War of the Buttons

The book of the French author Luis Pergaud entitled originally La guerre des boutons, translated into English as The War of the Buttons, is a great book for children aged between 7 and 12. The action takes place in France and presents the local “war” between the children of two villages. It might be said that it resembles a bit of the Lord of the Flies, but it has nothing of the drama and terror of the latter.

Damosel

Predictable.

How did the magic sword Excalibur find its way to King Arthur and what became of it? At a young age, Stephanie Spinner became intrigued with an illustration in a book about King Arthur that inspired her youth novel, Damosel. The image that captured Spinner's imagination was a woman's hand 'rising out of a lake, brandishing a sword.'

The woman, Damosel, is a magical fairy who lives in a lake and is capable of gliding between the mortal and fairy world.

Thornspell

A thrilling read.

Award-winning poet Helen Lowe's first novel, Thornspell, is a poetically and dramatically rich fairy tale. Her magical suspense story parallels the German epic poem and opera, Parsifal, a man's search for the Holy Grail, as well as the film, Sleeping Beauty. It is an imaginative story with distinctive and complex plots and extraordinary characters.

Sequestered within the castle walls for his own protection, young Prince Sigismund spends his time daydreaming about the enchanted world of King Arthur's knights, unaware that soon he will embark on a quest of his own.
