FAIRY TALES AND MYTHS have enriched childhood for centuries. In between “Once upon a time” and “happily ever after” we embark on adventures that seem an eternity away from our everyday lives. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In The Mysteries of Life in Children’s Literature, journey through a treasury of beloved fables and folk tales and discover the wisdom hiding within. In an age that rejects moral absolutes, children’s literature restores the meaning of good and evil, beautiful and ugly, normal and abnormal—and helps us see the nature of our world more clearly than we ever have before.
The Secret of Glaston Tor is an historical adventure/fantasy/time travel Children's/Young Adult book, with religious themes. Three cousins travel back in time, and are given the mission, by an enigmatic stranger, of helping a German couple and their young son escape from World War II France.
