Deborah Dent And Her Donkey And Madam Fig'S Gala Two Humorous Tales

Beschreibung

Two light-footed tales, one unlikely hero and a gallery of kindly mischief, come to life in Deborah Dent And Her Donkey And Madam Fig's Gala. A gentle blend of humour and heart, these illustrated humorous tales charm children readers and amused adults alike with donkey adventures, gala misadventures, and a fine thread of animal mischief set in a warmly recognisable early twentieth-century British world. This edition preserves the spirit of classic British humour while inviting modern readers to savour form, tone, and theme. The stories celebrate curiosity, resilience and the small, comic revelations that colour everyday life, making them a perfect addition to a family reading collection and to the shelves of classic-literature collectors. The language and framing nod to established English humour writers, offering a taste of a bygone era without losing immediacy or warmth. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the volume has been thoughtfully restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - the book stands as a durable link between generations of readers, a playful yet meaningful entry into the canon of humorous, illustrated children's stories from Britain.

Autor

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
