The Lord of the Hallows


Book Description

THE LORD OF THE HALLOWS examines the Christian themes present in J. K. Rowling's HARRY POTTER, and compares Rowling's series with THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J. R. R. Tolkien and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA by C. S. Lewis. This book also gives a fascinating explanation of the sources of Harry Potter's subtle religious symbolism, which includes a study of iconography derived from the Bible, the writings of the Early Church Fathers, Ancient and Medieval bestiaries, Christian artwork, and the Arthurian quest for the Hallows of the Holy Grail.

The Cat Who Came for Christmas


Book Description

A cat charms its way into a curmudgeon's heart one hilarious holiday season in this "extraordinary" bestselling Christmas classic (Parade), the perfect gift for the animal lover in your life. 'Twas the night before Christmas when a bedraggled white feline entered the heart -- and home -- of Cleveland Amory. To say it is a friendly takeover is an understatement. For the cat who came for Christmas is clearly of the Independent Type, and Cleveland Amory, cranky or not, is a pushover where animals are concerned. Toe to toe they stand -- Amory at six feet three, the cat at six inches -- and eyeball to eyeball with each other on every issue: whether or not to come when called; to recognize one's name; to take a trip, a pill, a bath, or a walk on a leash; to be civil to New People; or even in an age when Thin Is In, why anyone in his right mind would want to be the Last Fat Cat. We will not spoil The Cat Who Came For Christmas by telling you who blinks first. Suffice it to say that in this hilarious battle, nine times out of ten, it is not the cat.

A Wonderful Worldful of Christmas


Book Description




The Adventures of Harry Alliss (and Friends)


Book Description

Read about the amazing adventures of Harry Alliss. The central character is Harry, a young boy with several strong female mentors who add zest to his various adventures. Get to know Harry’s amazing friends and their magical, fantastical and sometimes dramatic adventures together, but always with a connection towards strong family relationships, values and those special bonds of friendship. Harry may be flying in space or sitting in a doctor’s waiting room but the adventures just keep happening to him. Learn about amazing things that you may have never heard of but that existed at some time. Unravel some of the words in the book to make the stories even more fun. Share Harry’s journey and enjoy the fabulous and exciting world of Harry Alliss. The basis for the stories is as a bedtime read, although it shouldn’t be restricted to only bedtime reading as they can be read at any time. The stories are sequential, so they should be read from the beginning to the end as several characters are introduced during the various adventures. The central themes are rooted in what is around us and what may have occurred or happened in the past or present, including physical items that may have existed before. The idea is to ask questions and interact with the storytelling. The stories have the ‘cuddle factor’ so that adults reading to their children can enjoy the story as much as the children who are listening to it.
