The MAGICAL World of Florence Harrison is a book of the Fairy illustrations made by the artist Florence Harrison. Many of these works of art come from her better known books "In The Fairy Ring" and "Elfin Song." Many others were found in increasingly scarce volumes of annuals, budgets, story collections from the early 20th Century. Descriptions are given of the magical beings known to the people of her time. This book is written to present the best examples (many of which are rarely seen) of Harrison's fairy art to new generations of those who still believe in magic.
This is the story of a girl's school that has lasted over 200 years from its start on the old parade ground of a ruined castle's bailey in Folkestone, to its current existence on the Isle of Wight. Its name has changed from Mrs. Cullen's Establishment (a "Dame's School) to Parade House Academy, to Rockhill, to the Anglo-Continental School, and now to Upper Chine. Though its name and location have changed, it has proven to be an enduring institution. Fourth in the Florence Harrison series, this book describes the school where Florence lived as a child and the impact the school had on her family and her career. Illustrated with numerous color pictures and maps.
Insights into Mexico's historical development comes through a study of ten traditional costumes found on souvenir dolls. The dolls were made by the Muñecos Carselle and Poveda companies during the 1940's-1960's. The costumes span Mexico's history from the Colonial period to the 1960's. Each part of the dolls' costumes is identified. Stories, songs, and events associated with each costume is accompanied by numerous colored pictures, diagrams, and black and white photos showing actual clothing. These are some of the most often seen trajes tipicos (traditional costumes) found in Mexico. The dolls are a time capsule preserving distinctive clothing that is now disappearing.
Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed. At wit's end with her daughter's inexplicable behavior, Tanya's mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar Essex town. There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangman's Wood- a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs and notorious for people losing their lives. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection.
