The Names Upon The Harp: Irish Myths And Legends by Marie Heaney Illustrated by P.J. Lynch
CONDITION: EXCELLENT Condition with bumped corners and edges. Clean inside.
CATALOG INFO: Publisher: Arthur Levine, 2000. ISBN 0590680609 For School distribution.
The heroes and villains of Irish myth and legend have fascinated generation after generation for over 2,000 years. This stunning new collection combines great drama with unforgettable storytelling.
"The Names Upon the Harp is a collection of Irish legends from the three main cycles set down by scholars to classify the ancient manuscripts that record the tales: the Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle and the Fenian Cycle. As retold by Marie Heaney, she begins each part with an introduction to that particular cycle and then explores her favorite stories from that area.
The book covers a wide range of the Irish mythology. P. J. Lynch uses watercolors to capture the images of the stories, and here is where the true strength of the book lies. The landscapes of Ireland are just what they should be: mysterious and dark, cold and misty, rock-strewn and lake-covered. The people - Lynch manages to catch all of them - whether strong or weak, cunning or tragic, warriors or poets, each one is realized fully.
The Names Upon the Harp is well worth the search, and definitely worth owning." --CR

Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton
CONDITION: EXCELLENT Condition with lightly bumped corners.
CATALOG INFO: Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 1974.ISBN 0395185629 RENEWED 1971 EDITION (by George Demetrios). 29th PRINTING.
"This vintage tale about one little snowplow's determination in the face of a small-town blizzard has all the charm and moral grit of The Little Engine That Could. This isn't surprising, considering that Caldecott Medal-winning author Virginia Lee Burton (The Little House) specializes in bringing the inanimate to life with endearing illustrations and stories of fortitude and vulnerability.
Katy, a red crawler tractor, "could do a lot of things," Burton explains early on. In the summer she is a bulldozer, helping to build and repair roads in the city of Geoppolis. In the winter, she turns into a snowplow, waiting and waiting for her chance to be useful. Most of the winters, though, the snowfalls are mild and the town doesn't need Katy. But when the big one finally hits, the town is buried in page after page of powder. The power lines are down. The doctor can't get his patient to the hospital.
The fire department can't reach a burning house! "Everyone and everything was stopped but... KATY!" Suddenly, the entire community is dependent on one little snowplow. Children love witnessing Katy's shining moment of glory and will inevitably admire her "chug, chug, chug" endurance." --GH
"Bright, vigorous pictures with plenty of action and endless detail portray Katy at work for the Highway Department of the city of Geoppolis." --HB
