Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

With its loving portrayal of aging, caring for the elderly, and the
keen nature of kids' sensibilities, this is a must-purchase for all
libraries serving children. --School Library Journal, Starred
Review A quiet story and pleasant music combine for a calming,
peaceful, and even uplifting performance. --Kirkus Reviews Did you
hear the story about Max, the boy who kidnapped his grandfather
from a nursing home? You didn't see it on the news? Well, let me
tell you about it. Max lives in a small town, much smaller than
yours. His grandpa is losing his memory, but still remembers quite
a bit. You can imagine how they hurried, Max and his grandpa,
followed by old Miss Schneider, who insisted on coming along. Why
were they in a hurry? Because everyone was after them. Max had
skipped school to rescue his grandpa, and they were just starting
out on what promised to be one of the best days of their entire
lives. A touching story about dementia and the special relationship
between grandparents and grandchildren, with full-color
illustrations and a read-along CD audiobook featuring twelve
classical pieces for children by Georges Bizet and Sergei
Prokofiev.

"Bizet describes himself as 'pagan', and Carmen has a savage
Mediterranean beauty quite unique in music. The essays included in
this guide suggest some reasons for its legendary theatrical
appeal. Martin Cooper describes the traditional mixture of spoken
words and song that stimulated Bizet to exclaim, 'I want to
revolutionize opera-comique!': the translators show the ingenious
and inspired ways in which he set about it. Lesley Wright analyses
the score and Michael Rabaud shows the uncanny appropriateness of
Nietzche's support for Bizet in his famous attacks on the decadence
of Wagner. This is the first time that the complete text of the
verses that Bizet set to music and the full dialogue (much of it
especially translated for this Opera Guide), have ever been
published. Contents: Introduction, Nicholas John; Opera-Comique,
Martin Cooper; A Musical Commentary, Lesley A. Wright; 'Carmen': A
tragedy oflove, sun and death, Michel Rabaud; Carmen: French text
by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy after the novel by Prosper
Merimee; Carmen: English version by Nell and John Moody"
