An award-winning picture book favourite about a lonely little
beaver in need of a friend. Shortlisted for the Children's Book
Award, this is the much-loved story of Little Beaver, who lives all
alone by the edge of a pond. He doesn't have a friend in the world.
One day, when he starts to cry, he hears someone else crying too.
So Little Beaver sets off to find this kindred spirit. Along the
way, he's joined by a duck, an otter and a turtle, who each claim,
"I do need a friend, but it wasn't me who was crying." Will Little
Beaver ever find the creature who was crying, and make a friend at
last? A story time favourite, this sweet, sensitive story of new
friendship is brought beautifully to life by Sarah Fox-Davies's
softly glowing landscapes and adorably furry characters.
Young readers will welcome this exciting opportunity to be a part
of the pack.
Walk with a wolf . . . as she hunts alone, howls to her pack, and
greets her cubs and mate. Hunt with the pack as it follows the
scent of a bull moose, crouching and charging. Learn all about
these lords of the far north, who have been hunted by man nearly to
extinction. With evocative watercolors by Sarah Fox-Davies, Walk
with a Wolf is as full of beauty and drama as it is of facts about
this mysterious and often maligned creature
While the author examines the totality of feasting occasions in
this book, her principal focus lies on how feasts serve as an arena
for social negotiations: the creation of obligations to a powerful
host, the cohesion augmented between companions, the privileging of
high-status individuals, the emphasised inferiority of those of
lesser status, and the creation of new connections through shared
emotive experiences. This work thus explores on a broad scale the
multi-faceted use of feasting in mainland Greece by placing it in a
diachronic perspective, commencing at the beginning of the Early
Mycenaean period (MHIII/LHI) and continuing to the end of the Early
Iron Age (EIA). This long-range study is given focus by viewing it
specifically from the angle of social changes, developments and
negotiations, in order to analyse how socio-political events in
Greece throughout the nine centuries under consideration both
affected commensal events and were directly or indirectly produced
by them.
