This charming collection of 45 fairy stories from Grimm was
originally published in 1894. The tales are profusely illustrated
with the pen and ink drawings of the English artist, Gordon Browne.
Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working
to republish these classic works in high quality editions, using
the original text and artwork so these works can delight another
generation of children.
In this close-your-eyes-and-hold-your-breath adventure, teenage
siblings Carson and C.J. Crenshaw are scheduled to spend two weeks
at Camp Remnant on Crater Island while their father, archeologist
Tommy Crenshaw, searches for the Book of Life-a rare and priceless
artifact that may have surfaced there. At Camp Remnant, brother and
sister team up with a bunch of misfits to compete in the Adventure
Challenge. Team captain Ollie Patrolli is determined to win, but
his dreams might be dashed when Carson and C.J. find a puzzling
note and are convinced that someone has kidnapped their father. The
teens band together to win the Challenge while at the same time
rescuing Tommy. Along the way, they encounter choices that may land
them in a whole lot of trouble and realize that the Book of Life
may be their ultimate downfall. The result is a story chock-full
with hilarious twists and hair-raising suspense that will make your
pulse race and your spine tingle
