strong>The Crystal Palace III: The Fairy WarEver wish you were
someone else? Katie falls in love with a handsome fairy boy, Colin,
and wants to be a fairy herself. In this third book of the Crystal
Palace trilogy, three human girls (Karina, Nicole, and Katie)
return to Fairyland to visit their fairy folk friends and to see
the effect of the civil rights reforms they had earlier mediated
for the ogres and trolls, previously second class citizens in
Fairyland. The Sorcerer gives Katie beautiful fairy wings, but he
is jealous of the human girls' growing influence on the king and
plans to humiliate them. His scheme is interrupted when insects
(huge to the fairies) attack Fairyland. Urged on by their evil
tarantula leader, swarms of enormous, angry insects and spiders
descend upon the fairy folk. Their goal: to destroy Fairyland,
before turning their sights on the human world. A story of envy and
forgiveness, courage and cooperation, friendship and caring, The
Crystal Palace III: The Fairy War demonstrates the power of respect
for others and working together toward a common goal. Exciting and
fanciful- a child's version of Fairyland through the artistry of
Karina, the eleven-year-old granddaughter of author Grammy Hauser.
Grammy finds a tiny envelope addressed to Karina on the crystal
bed. King Sebastian and Queen Serena of Fairyland have invited
Karina and her friends to Prince Jeremy s third birthday party.
Excited and determined, Karina, Katie, and Nicole return to
Fairyland through the bedpost crystal, with the help of Grammy s
tooth fairy, Angela. The royal celebration is all they have hoped:
beautiful and festive with an elaborate buffet, graceful dancers,
and impressive fireworks. A magical and enchanting evening in
Fairyland Suddenly, explosions interrupted the celebrations as the
ogres and trolls, outcasts in fairy society, protest their lack of
rights and limited choices in life. In the chaos, Karina, Katie,
Nicole, and the young, insolent fairy princess Gianna are kidnapped
by the ogres and taken into hiding. Join Karina and her friends as
they confront issues of justice and equality as they get to know
their captors. The beautiful, magical Fairyland now seems medieval
and unfair. What can these modern American girls do to help their
beloved Fairyland? What would YOU do?Enchanting and fanciful a
child s vision of Fairyland through the illustrations of Karina,
the ten-year-old granddaughter of author Grammy Hauser.
Who would have thought that the saving of a little boy at a pool
would lead to an adventure in Fairyland and the Kingdom of the
Leprechauns? A sleepover at Karina's Grammy's and Popi's house, in
a bedroom filled with crystals, turned into an adventure at a
crystal palace and a confrontation with a dangerous sea serpent.
Karina, Katie, and Emily Jean entered these worlds through the lead
of Grammy's tooth fairy named Angela. They were needed to find the
missing baby fairy prince. Intelligence, insight, and imagination
led these girls to the rescue and the discovery of the truth:
Children are precious to their parents, not matter how old they
are, whether in Fairyland or everyday life. Exciting and fanciful a
child s vision of Fairyland through the artistry of Karina, the
nine-year-old granddaughter of author Grammy Hauser.
2 books & a CD. This study provides a comprehensive description
of the rich song culture of the people in the Thule area in
Greenland, the Inughuit. In 1937 the archaeologist and folklorist
Erik Holtved recorded 134 traditional songs in Thule.
Transcriptions and scientific processing of this collection
constitute the nucleus of the work. Another collection of Inughuit
songs was recorded in 1962 for The Danish Folklore Archives by Bent
Jensen and the author. The songs from both collections are
presented and notated in full length and also with analyses of a
representative stanza from each song. Descriptions are given of
performing habits, singing methods, drum construction and handling,
as well as historical and recent data. Searching for resemblances
among other Inuit groups produced transcriptions and analyses of
many traditional Inuit Songs from different localities in Canada.
It was discovered that characteristic traits of the form and melody
types of the Inughuit are linked to Canadian Inuit groups in
southern Baffin Island and among the Copper Inuit in northern
Canada, documenting particular areas of origin, and also giving
information about migration routes. Many of the songs are presented
on the enclosed CD
