Required reading for everyone wishing to learn about or research in
the field of Wycliffite and Lollard studies. RICHARD REX, QUEENS'
COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE Who were the Lollards? What did Lollards
believe? What can the manuscript record of Lollard works teach us
about the textual dissemination of Lollard beliefs and the audience
for Lollard writings? What did Lollards have in commonwith other
reformist or dissident thinkers in late medieval England, and how
were their views distinctive? These questions have been fundamental
to the modern study of Lollardy (also known as Wycliffism). The
essays in this book reveal their broader implications for the study
of English literature and history through a series of closely
focused studies that demonstrate the wide-ranging influence of
Lollard writings and ideas on later medieval English culture.
Introductions to previous scholarship, and an extensive
Bibliography of printed resources for the study of Wyclif and
Wycliffites, provide an entry to scholarship for those new to the
field. Contributors: DAVID AERS, MARGARET ASTON, HELEN BARR,

Theodora loved her grandfather's old garden. His new apartment's
balcony is too windy and small for a garden. But what appears to be
a drawback soon leads to a shared burst of creativity as Theo and
her Poppa decide to paint a new garden. As they work side by side
--- sowing seeds with brushes and paint --- a masterpiece begins to
take shape that transforms the balcony into an abundant garden.
When Poppa goes away on holiday, Theo helps nurture the garden and
it begins to take on a life of its own. This garden grows not from
soil but from love, imagination and creativity. Readers will marvel
at each stage of this fertile garden as it grows from seed to full
flower, revealing the power of art to enrich our lives.

Every Sunday morning, no matter the weather, Eli could count on
Zaida to bring bagels from Merv's Bakery. Eli loved the time they
spent together enjoying their favorite treats. ?Warm. Chewy. Salty,
? Eli thought. ?Bagels were the best thing about Sunday.? But one
Sunday, Zaida didn't come. He had fallen at Merv's and ?hurt his
tuches, ? and the doctor said Zaida had to rest at home for two
whole weeks. This meant Eli had no Sunday morning bagels. And
neither did Zaida's friends, who had been receiving their own
weekly deliveries from Zaida. Will they all go hungry for bagels on
Sunday? Or is there something Eli can do? Award-winning author
Andrew Larsen's picture book story offers a gently humorous take on
the special bond between a boy and his grandfather and the simple
ritual that looms so large in their lives. It also highlights a
terrific character education lesson about how a young child can
take responsibility and, with a little initiative, help a family
member in need. With a blend of retro and contemporary styles,
Sandy Nichols's softly colored illustrations cleverly convey the
story's timelessness and capture Eli's diverse neighborhood. This
book will spark wonderful discussions about family traditions and
community. A mini glossary and pronunciation guide for the Yiddish
words that are sprinkled throughout the story (like mensch and oy)
provides an opportunity to learn about the many words we use in
English that come from other languages, and to explore the
connections between culture and languag

A young boy doesn't want to go to bed. The hockey game is on! ?What
if I can't fall asleep the boy says. ?Don't worry, ? says his dad.
?You will.? After his parents have tucked him in and turned out the
light, he shines a flashlight on his prized hockey possessions
around his room: the posters of his favorite players, the pennant
for his favorite team, the puck. Then he decides to listen to the
game on his bedside radio, which he places under his pillow. With
the familiar drone of the announcer's voice for company, the boy
drifts off to sleep. He dreams he has joined his favorite team on
the ice --- where he scores the winning goal! And the boy smiles as
the announcer exclaims, ?What a play! What a goal! What a game!?
Award-winning author Andrew Larsen's simple yet evocative story
sets just the right tone for the youngest children, who can relate
to the boy's disappointment about missing the exciting nighttime
game and his fears that he won't be able to fall asleep. Jacqui
Lee's illustrations in soothing greens and blues are done in a
wonderful blend of nostalgic and contemporary styles that suit the
story's timelessness. This book provides all of the appeal of the
perfect bedtime story: the reassurance of caring parents tucking
the boy in and then coming back later to check on him, the bedtime
routine, the atmospheric winter night outside while it's cozy and
snug inside, and the promise of dreams come true.
