Synopsis Twentieth-Century Janissary by : C. Dionysios Dionou
Although not entirely a happy memoir, this book looks back on the author’s life with a dash of humor. It reminds the author of his mostly painful yet rewarding challenges while growing up, and being a Greek orphan. In this book, he states that his life had an enormous toll on him, leaving deep scars that are diffi cult to heal. However, this story is not merely about the author’s life. It also contains several universal themes about childhood, adoption, how to raise children, and more. Touching and enlightening at the same time, Twentieth-Century Janissary: An Orphan’s Search For Freedom, Family, and Heritage also invites the younger generation of Greeks to cherish their heritage and legacy. This book is available in trade paperback, trade hardback, and eBook formats. For more information, interested parties may log on to www.Xlibris.com.

Synopsis Please Mrs Butler by : Allan Ahlberg
Happy 30th birthday, Please Mrs Butler! This witty collection of school poems by Allan Ahlberg, re-jacketed for its 30th anniversary and for a whole new generation of school children to fall in love with, is full of typical classroom events that will be recognized and enjoyed by everyone. From never-ending projects, reading tests, quarreling, making-up, excuses and 'Please, Sir, it isn't fair.' Fritz Wegner's line drawings beautifully complement the hilarious and poignant verses. Please Mrs Butler was voted the most important twentieth-century children's poetry book in a Books for Keeps poll.

Synopsis The Pushcart War by : Jean Merrill
"The best book about politics ever written for children." —The Washington Post 50th Anniversary Edition, now in paperback DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE PUSHCART WAR? THE REAL HISTORY? It’s a story of how regular people banded together and, armed with little more than their brains and good aim, defeated a mighty foe. Not long ago the streets of New York City were smelly, smoggy, sooty, and loud. There were so many trucks making deliveries that it might take an hour for a car to travel a few blocks. People blamed the truck owners and the truck owners blamed the little wooden pushcarts that traveled the city selling everything from flowers to hot dogs. Behind closed doors the truck owners declared war on the pushcart peddlers. Carts were smashed from Chinatown to Chelsea. The peddlers didn’t have money or the mayor on their side, but that didn’t stop them from fighting back. They used pea shooters to blow tacks into the tires of trucks, they outwitted the police, and they marched right up to the grilles of those giant trucks and dared them to drive down their streets. Today, thanks to the ingenuity of the pushcart peddlers, the streets belong to the people—and to the pushcarts. The Pushcart War was first published more than fifty years ago. It has inspired generations of children and been adapted for television, radio, and the stage around the world. It was included on School Library Journal’s list of One Hundred Books That Shaped the Twentieth Century, and its assertion that a committed group of men and women can prevail against a powerful force is as relevant in the twenty-first century as it was in 1964.
