  mrs pepperpot original illustrations: The Adventures of Mrs Pepperpot Alf Proysen, 2010 Mrs Pepperpot has a problem - a huge problem - she shrinks! And when she shrinks she finds herself in all sorts of trouble...

But disaster strikes - just as Mrs Pepperpot jumps into the water she shrinks! Now the pool seems as big as an ocean. Luckily there's a friendly frog nearby to rescue her and give her swimming lessons. When Mrs Pepperpot agrees to mind baby Roger from next door, she doesn't know that she's going to shrink. How can she look after him when she's only as tall as a pepperpot? Baby Roger thinks she's a doll and jiggles and joggles her and throws her high in the air. Will Mrs Pepperpot be able to keep the baby out of mischief until his mother comes to get him. . . ?
  mrs pepperpot original illustrations: Empowering Transformations Maria Lassén-Seger, Anne Skaret, 2014-05-02 Norwegian author Alf Prøysen’s feisty little old Mrs Pepperpot appeared for the first time in print in 1955. Translated into well over twenty languages, the now classic Mrs Pepperpot stories have, so far, received surprisingly little critical attention. Empowering Transformations: Mrs Pepperpot Revisited fills that long over-due gap by providing a range of essays written by experts in the field. The volume explores Prøysen’s heroine in dialogue with recent theorising in order to broaden and deepen the understanding of her enduring popularity. The study introduces Prøysen’s works and career to an international readership, but also delves deeper into the Mrs Pepperpot phenomenon. Her character is analysed in view of metamorphosis, power, gender, and queer theory, and the stories’ ethical impact is assessed through the use of cognitive literary theory. Mrs Pepperpot’s many transformations into other media (illustration, sculpture, radio, TV, and Advent Calendar) are also considered, as well as her relations to nature, animals and technology, which are approached eco- and techno-critically. The volume appeals to an academic readership interested in literature, children’s literature, media studies, cultural studies and Scandinavian studies, as well as the general public celebrating Prøysen’s 100th anniversary in 2014.

  mrs pepperpot original illustrations: The House of Arden E. Nesbit, 2019-06-17 “The House of Arden” is a 1908 children's novel written by English poet and author Edith Nesbit. The story revolves around Edred and Elfrida Arden, two children from a poor background who inherit an old, run-down castle and attempt to track down their lost family fortunes which would enable them to restore it to its former glory. Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. Other notable works by this author include: “The Prophet's Mantle” (1885), “Something Wrong” (1886), and “The Marden Mystery” (1896). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

  mrs pepperpot original illustrations: Little Men - Unabridged with the original illustrations by Reginald B. Birch (includes Good Wives) Louisa May Alcott, 2023-12-14 Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Men - Unabridged' is a charming continuation of the beloved classic 'Little Women'. Set in Plumfield, a school for boys run by Jo March, the novel follows the adventures and lessons learned by the lively group of young students. Alcott's graceful prose and intricate character development provide an insightful exploration of childhood, education, and the importance of fostering creativity and moral values. The original illustrations by Reginald B. Birch enhance the reading experience, bringing the characters and setting to life in vivid detail. The book remains a timeless portrayal of family dynamics and the joys and challenges of growing up. Louisa May Alcott, influenced by her own experiences teaching and working with children, drew inspiration from her observations to craft the endearing narrative of 'Little Men'. Her deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of relationships shines through in her portrayal of the characters and their interactions. Alcott's commitment to promoting moral growth and personal development is evident in the positive themes that resonate throughout the story. I highly recommend 'Little Men - Unabridged' to readers of all ages who appreciate classic literature and timeless tales of friendship, education, and personal growth. Alcott's enduring insights and engaging storytelling make this novel a captivating read that continues to inspire and entertain.
