Bobbie and the Magic Ring


Book Description

Bobbie, a thirteen-year old boy, finds a ring. His mother tells him that it's just a piece of brass junk and urges him to throw it away. But he insists on keeping it. That same night, as he is falling asleep, the ring appears and tells him that it has magic powers. And indeed it has. Not only does it save Bobbie's life, but it also helps to turn two 'bad' boys from the 'wrong path' they are on, onto the path of future success. Those boys soon realize that 'good can lead to the very best, while bad can lead to the very worst'. As you turn the pages, you will learn interesting facts of early American history and about the state of California. You will also make many discoveries of America's natural wonders. All this, while the ring, with the help of Bobbie, his sister, and his three trusty friends, help to demolish the magical powers of the evil magician who makes life miserable for the residents of a small California community.

Robert Browning


Book Description

Browning's poetry is seen by the author as one of the most potent of the influences which in the nineteenth century helped to break down the shallow and mischievous distinction between the "sacred" and the "secular" and to set in its place the profounder division between man enslaved by apathy, routine and mechanical morality, and man lifted by the law of love into a service which is perfect freedom, into an approximation to God which is only the fullest realization of humanity. First published in 1905, this was a pioneering biographical and critical study of Browning which was one of the first to assess what were regarded as the difficulties of Browning's work and to elucidate his realism, joy, and interpretation of life. This title is cited and recommended by the Catalogue of the Lamont Library, Harvard College and the Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature.
