originally published in 1901. The masque was a courtly feast
involving dance, theatre, music and song popular in sixteenth
century Europe and this work is a charming allegorical tale in
which the guests at such a masque are The Days of the year, whose
invitations are brought to them by twelve foot-pages called The
Hours. Guests include Pay Day, who arrives late, Rainy Day dressed
in wet stockings, and Wedding Day, who wears his marriage finery.

el silencio para lograrla. Un nino separado a temprana edad de al
lado de su madre es llevado a los Estados Unidos por su padre,
quien en un tragico accidente muere, dejandolo solo a la edad de
siete anos. Como sobreviviente del accidente, el nino, que viajaba
con su padre, es encontrado por un matrimonio que inicia su proceso
de adopcion y durante muchos anos le ocultan su verdadera identidad
por el egoismo de no perder su carino. Con el correr de los anos su
madre adoptiva antes de morir le confiesa que el fue un nino
adoptado y le da algunas pistas para que pueda encontrar su
verdadera identidad e ir a la busqueda de su madre biologica y sus
raices.. Un amor sublime y apasionado surgido en las tinieblas de
este conflicto se ve en peligro de sucumbir ante la incertidumbre
de sus personajes envueltos en un inaudito silencio que, solo una
confesion inesperada, logra romper.

LoveReading4Kids 'Laugh-out-loud stuff' Ray D'Arcy It's the most
important day of the year for King Fabian as he is hosting all the
neighbouring rulers. Everything simply must go perfectly. King
Fabian wakes up, stretches, and... farts. His wife's fury is so
huge that he panics and blames the butler, who is carted off to the
dungeons. Leaving behind a big problem: Fabian isn't really the
brains behind the crown: it is the butler... how will dithery
Fabian manage to pull off this high-pressure event alone? His small
and smelly fart looks like it will kick off a crisis... Frank - a
kitchen boy with a big imagination - is drafted in as an emergency
butler. As the banquet descends into a food fight and processions
catapult out of control, Frank finds himself in an all-out farty
farce. Can he save the day? Wildly funny and endlessly surprising,
this is delightfully imaginative, surreal storytelling with a
message that small events can trigger big change, and children can
be heroes! Packed with pictures by Stephen Mangan's sister Anita
