Produktbeschreibung

Book One

Are your children lovers of nature...like yourself? Over 100 years ago, the Danish author, Carl Ewald, wrote these classic children's stories that are now available in new English translations. These stories will both entertain and lead your child into an accurate, modern perspective on how the sometimes-hidden World of Nature really works. A near contemporary and admirer of Charles Darwin, Ewald's early training as a field biologist and forester gave him huge insights into nature and spurred an interest that lasted throughout his life. His innovative approach created biology lessons in fable-story form for kids. Darwin himself would have approved.

Teachers, homeschoolers, parents: Are you looking for exceptional content in your Middle-Grade children's reading choices? Read the first story now as an example. (available under Look Inside) and guide them into constructive, substantive readings covering such topics as: natural selection, adaptation, mate choice, competition, predation, bee colony life, the squeezing of wildlife habitat, forest preservation, earthworms as nature's soil tillers, and island formation from coral development through immense time.

This first book of ten richly-colored illustrated stories is a sampling of not just the sweep of Ewald's interest in revealing a real-world nature, but also the high literary quality of his stories. His major concern was to steer children (and their mentors) into learning the truth of nature's amazing complexity, while suceeding to make it simple enough for a child to understand.

There are many other stories and major topics that you will find in Books Two and Three of this series. Have a look.

Autorenporträt

Carl Ewald (1856-1908) was a Danish author, journalist and novelist, known especially for his fairytales. After making a name for himself as a novelist, he published three important collections of fairy tales: In det Fri (In the Open, 1892), Fem Nye Eventyr (Five New Fairy Tales, 1894), and Die Fire Fjendingsfyrsten (The Four Little Princes, 1896). With these Ewald became the most significant Danish fairytale writer, next to Hans Christian Andersen. His collected works were published posthumously in five volumes: Mutter Natur Erzahlt (Mother Nature Tells, 1910), Der Zweifussler und Andere Geschichten (Two Legs and Other Stories, 1911), Vier Feine Freunde und Andere Geschichten (Four Fine Friends and Other Stories, 1913), Meister Reineke und Andere Geschichten (Master Renard and Other Stories, 1919), and Das Sternekind und Andere Geschichten (The Star Child and Other Stories, 1925).
