They are the three robbers: Casper, Jasper and Jonathan, who live outside the town and regularly enter to steal the things they need. In the end the robbers are arrested, but good treatment in the jail by the kindly constable Bastian reforms them, and in the final chapter they become the hero of the day when they extinguish the fire in the tower of the town.

On his own in the teeming city, orphaned Saru learns to survive. He begs, steals, and fights for what he needs. He finds danger in bandits and street gangs, charity in tentative friendships with a priest and a cook’s young daughter, and comfort from his little cat, Neko. But Saru trusts no one, not until he meets the samurai and agrees to help in the rescue of his wife, held hostage in the caste. How can a street urchin and a lone warrior prevail against a mighty warlord. A rousing sequel to The Samurai’s Tale, Haugaard’s focus is on life, both its rawness and its richness. A significant contribution to the body of fiction about an era and its way of life in Japan.

In the time when the Shogun ruled Japan, two hundred samurai suffered a grave insult - their master met an unjust death. Forty-seven of them were courageous enough to avenge him. Jiro is a lowly servant to one of the brave samurai. Chosen as his master’s unlikely spy during the planning of the great revenge, Jiro must learn when to talk and when to listen, or at any moment he could lose his head to a samurai’s razor-sharp sword. And even as Jiro plays his small part in the unfolding plot, he searches for the truth about his own identity. Plotting and intrigue propel the action, and bloodthirsty readers must wait as patiently as the conspirators for the climactic attack. Themes of loyalty and honor are threads that hold the story together.

Bannerman, the daughter of a Scottish minister, married a surgeon in the British Army of India. She spent 30 years of her life in India and regularly wrote illustrated letters with fantasy storylines to amuse their children. In 1898 there “came into her head, evolved by the moving of a train,” the entertaining story of a little black boy, beautifully clothed, who outwits a succession of tigers, and not only saves his own life but gets a stack of tiger-striped pancakes. The book appeared in England in 1899 and was an immediate success.

When the world was a thousand years younger and minstrels traveled the roads, there was a solemn monastery in the French countryside where the monks made beautifully illustrated books. Their most prized artwork was the painting of the weeping Madonna above the altar. When a boy jester comes to the monastery, he is offered food and shelter, and repays the monks with juggling and dancing. The old Abbot wants to throw him out, but then he sees a change in the painting of the Madonna, and the monastery will never be the same. Helena Olofsson’s story for readers 4-8 is illustrated in a modern naive picturebook style, but is also punctuated throughout with art reminiscent of medieval manuscripts.
