This edition of King John takes into account the work of the
Shakespeare and Schools Project, the national curriculum for
English, developments at GCSE and A-level, and the probable
development of English and Drama throughout the 1990s. Cambridge
School Shakespeare considers King John as theatre, and its text as
script, enabling students to inhabit the imaginative world of the
play in an accessible, meaningful and creative way. It aims to
encourage students to participate actively in examining the play,
to work in groups as well as individually, to treat the play as a
script to be recreated, and to explore the theatrical/dramatic
qualities of the text. The editorial comments cater for pupils of
all ages and abilities, providing clear, helpful guidelines for
school study. The format is also designed to help teachers, whether
experienced or inexperienced.
Without giving himself time to think about it, Danny plunged into
the middle of the frosty stream. The cold of it took his breath
away. He shrieked and yelled and giggled idiotically. He splashed
and wriggled and bucked about like seal, like an otter, like a
porpoise. The sensation of that icy, running water bubbling against
his baked body was truly delicious. He ducked his head underneath,
and let it tingle through his scalp. It was so clear that, with his
eyes open underwater, he could se right into the heart of that
liquid world'. For the moment Danny, the Warrior of Wilderness, has
not care in the world. But soon the timid boy will once again be
reminded of his quest: to save his friends, the creatures of
Wilderness, the beautiful wild animals which are being threatened
by evil Shadow. Gripping and moving, Warrior of Wilderness extols
the beauty of the wild animals of Africa, and warns us that we
humans are constantly threatening their survival.
When Oupa dies, fourteen-year-old Manie and his little sister Trina
are left to fend for themselves in the harsh, dusty Karoo. Their
only home is a wooden cart, pulled by their donkeys, Jaap and Koos.
Behind them is a home they dare not go back to. Ahead of them lies
Cape Town - a city full of hope and danger.
My name is Sam. I got your address from an international penpal
service in an Atomic Frogman comic book. I am writing you from
Ayden, North Carolina. What is it like to live in South Africa? I
see these pictures of people starving with paint marks on their
face and no clothes on in National Geographic magazine... Having a
penpal is almost more fun than having a friend you can see every
day. When one of you lives on a farm in the USA and the other lives
in the suburbs of Johannesburg, there's a lot to learn about each
other - and it's so much easier to say what you really feel in a
letter. But Sam is black and Chris is white and when South Africa
erupts in the violence of '76, they are forced to confront their
own deepest racial feelings. Together they must try to learn from
the words of Msimangu, the old priest in Cry, the Beloved Country:
"I have one great fear in my heart; that one day when they are
turned to loving, they will find we are turned to hating."
