Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Selden received his B.A. from Yale, where he was a member of the Elizabethan Club and contributed to the literary magazine. He spent three summer sessions at Columbia University and, after college, studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship. People often asked Selden how he got the idea for The Cricket in Times Square. \"One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station. The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently.\" The popular Cricket series grew to seven titles, including Tucker's Countryside and The Old Meadow. In 1973, The Cricket in Times Square was made into an animated film. Selden wrote more than fifteen books, as well as two plays. His storytelling blends the marvelous with the commonplace realities of life, and it was essential to him that his animal characters display true emotions and feelings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Age: 6-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSquare Fish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePub Date: \u003cspan\u003eMay 31, 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780374390402\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.5\" H x 7.6\" L x 5.2\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e132 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epaperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37596593750202,"sku":"9780374390402","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/cricketintimessquare.jpg?v=1686942623"},{"product_id":"on-the-banks-of-plum-creek-by-laura-ingalls-wilder-garth-williams","title":"On the Banks of Plum Creek: Full Color Edition (#4) by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Garth Williams","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams' interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota.

Originally published in the UK over a half century ago, these books are still eagerly read by children, despite their length and their decidedly British protagonists. We attribute their success to two facts: first, Ransome is a great storyteller and, second, he clearly writes from first-hand experience. Independence and initiative are qualities any child can understand and every volume in this collection celebrates these virtues.  Swallows and Amazons, the book that started it all in 1930, introduces the Walker family, the camp on Wild Cat Island, the able-bodied catboat \"Swallow,\" and the two intrepid Amazons, plucky Nancy and Peggy Blackett.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFriendship, resourcefulness, adventures!

Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration, the tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view'. They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur Rackham\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1867-1939) was a British illustrator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Age: 9-12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEveryman's Library\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePub Date: November 03, 1992\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780679417965\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.99\" H x 8.18\" L x 6.36\" W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e400 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37824996802746,"sku":"9780679417965","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/products\/FairyTales.jpg?v=1676837207"},{"product_id":"the-wonder-clock-or-four-and-twenty-marvelous-tales-by-howard-pyle","title":"The Wonder Clock Or, Four and Twenty Marvelous Tales by Howard Pyle","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eIt is rare indeed when a writer's original stories are regarded as masterpieces on a par with the great folkloristic fairy tales that have been handed down through the ages.

As a young man he was ordained a minister of the Congregational church but he resigned after a disagreement with his deacons over doctrine, and from 1853 he earned his living by lecturing and writing, often in poor health, which meant periodic travelling in search of purer air for his lungs. In 1851 he married Louisa Powell, with whom he spent a long and happy life, sadly ending in grief when three of his thirteen children died of tuberculosis and he suffered a stroke that deprived him of speech for his last five years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-detail-about\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-detail-about\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe was a prolific writer, yet it is his fantasies for children that have survived. \u003cb\u003eThe Princess and the Goblin\u003c\/b\u003e was the second of these, published first as a serial in \u003ci\u003eGood Words for the Young\u003c\/i\u003e, a periodical of which he became editor for a short time in 1869.
