The Neverending Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bastian seeks refuge from his reality in the pages of
the most amazing book. Fantastica is in grave danger;
The Nothing engulfs everything in its path. The
Childlike Empress sends the unlikely hero Atreyu, a
boy of Bastian's age, on a quest to find the one who
can save them all. Atreyu's adventure takes him to the
far corners of Fantastica, through the Swamp of
Sadness, the cave of a giant spider, and the maze of
the Southern Oracle. With the help of the happy Luck
Dragon, Falkor, he manages to survive the harrowing
journey, besting the werewolf who is bent on the
destruction of imagination itself. With Bastian's belief
in the story, however, Fantastica has found its savior.
Imagination will live on.

A Special Trade ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bartholomew and Nelly are not just neighbors, they're
best friends. Every day, Bartholomew pushes Nelly in
her stroller around the neighborhood. They especially
like getting sprayed by Mrs. Pringle's sprinkler and
going over Mr. Oliver's bumpity-bump-bump driveway.
And when Nelly grows up and Bartholomew grows old
their joy in being together continues, no matter what.
For this story of two people, from two generations,
shows better than most, what it truly means to be
friends forever.

Coming soon: Hamlet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood"
--The Ghost, Hamlet I.v
Young Prince Hamlet returns to Denmark as strange and sorrowful times befall the country - his father, the King, suffered a murder most foul. The Prince is sure that blame lies with Claudius, lately his uncle and now his King and husband to his mother. This betrayal is more than the Prince can bear. Soon he is out of his wits, spouting "wild and whirling words" denouncing his love for the sweet Ophelia. Or is this madness merely a ruse to "catch the conscience of the king" so Hamlet may enact his revenge? Sensing the danger his nephew presents, Claudius conspires to slay Hamlet. And amidst the clashing of swords and passing of poisoned goblets, all the players fall prey to the treachery that stains the soil of poor Denmark. Hamlet will be available later this month, so check back soon! |
