El Blanco: The Legend of the White Stallion
by Rutherford MontgomeryThe ancient people of Mexico were Indians. Long before the temple was built, they told stories of a white god who would appear some day, mounted on a strange beast. And when the Spaniard Hernando Cortez came to their country, they believed he was the white god. They had never seen a horse, and they believed that Cortez's white stallion was also a kind of god. Cortez encouraged these beliefs. El Blanco had become lame, and Cortez left the horse with the village priests. He would return for it later, after the lameness was cured. That same day a furious storm came up, ending a long drought. The priests thought that El Blanco had brought the rains, and they called him the master of storm and lightning. Knowing nothing about horses, they fed him the spiced food they ate themselves and gave him wine to drink. El Blanco soon sickened and died. The priests then built the temple, and within it, on a block of stone, they placed a statue of the white stallion. They prayed to it and made offerings to it. They were sure that if a long drought came again, El Blanco would return, bringing the rain. On the walls of the temple they painted three pictures. The first showed Cortez delivering the lame stallion to them. The second showed El Blanco summoning the storm. The third showed the life-sized statue. In time the people gave up their gods and became Christians. The statue was smashed. But the three pictures, scarred and mossy, remain to this day--and so does the legend of the white stallion that brings the rain. Little rain had fallen for several seasons. The corn has withered, and most of the wells and springs were dry. It is time for El Blanco to return, and bring back the rain.

Eleanor Cameron: Dimensions of Amazement
by Paul V. AllenEleanor Cameron (1912-1996) was an innovative and genre-defying author of children's fiction and children's literature criticism. From her beginnings as a librarian, Cameron went on to become a prominent and respected voice in children's literature, writing one of the most beloved children's science fiction novels of all time, The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, and later winning the National Book Award for her time fantasy The Court of the Stone Children.In addition, Eleanor Cameron played an often vocal role in critical debates about children's literature. She was one of the first authors to take up literary criticism of children's novels and published two influential books of criticism, including The Green and Burning Tree. One of Cameron's most notable acts of criticism came in 1973, when she wrote a scathing critique of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl responded in kind, and the result was a fiery imbroglio within the pages of the Horn Book Magazine. Yet despite her many accomplishments, most of Cameron's books went out of print by the end of her life, and her star faded.This biography aims to reinsert Cameron into the conversation by taking an in-depth look at her tumultuous early life in Ohio and California, her unforgettably forceful personality and criticism, and her graceful, heartfelt novels. The biography includes detailed analysis of the creative process behind each of her published works and how Cameron's feminism, environmentalism, and strong sense of ethics are reflected in and represented by her writings. Drawn from over twenty interviews, thousands of letters, and several unpublished manuscripts in her personal papers, Eleanor Cameron is a tour of the most exciting and creative periods of American children's literature through the experience of one of its valiant purveyors and champions.
Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna: A Children's Classic at 100 (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Roxanne Harde and Lydia KokkolaAppearing first as a weekly serial in The Christian Herald, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna was first published in book form in 1913. This popular story of an impoverished orphan girl who travels from America's western frontier to live with her wealthy maternal Aunt Polly in the fictional east coast town of Beldingsville went through forty-seven printings in seven years and remains in print today in its original version, as well as in various translations and adaptations. The story's enduring appeal lies in Pollyanna's sunny personality and in her glad game, her playful attempt to accentuate the positive in every situation. In celebration of its centenary, this collection of thirteen original essays examines a wide variety of the novel's themes and concerns, as well as adaptations in film, manga, and translation. In this edited collection on Pollyanna, internationally respected and emerging scholars of children's literature consider Porter's work from modern critical perspectives. Contributors focus primarily on the novel itself but also examine Porter's sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up, and the various film versions and translations of the novel. With backgrounds in children's literature, cultural and film studies, philosophy, and religious studies, these scholars extend critical thinking about Porter's work beyond the thematic readings that have dominated previous scholarship. In doing so, the authors approach the novel from theoretical perspectives that examine what happens when Pollyanna engages with the world around her—her community and the natural environment—exposing the implicit philosophical, religious, and nationalist ideologies of the era in which Pollyanna was written. The final section is devoted to studies of adaptations of Porter's protagonist.

The Electric War: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Race to Light the World
by Mike WinchellThe spellbinding true account of the scientific competition to light the world with electricity.In the mid-to-late-nineteenth century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a fiery war was under way to be the first to light—and run—the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race—only a winner and a loser. The prize: a nationwide monopoly in electric current. Brimming with action, suspense, and rich historical and biographical information about these brilliant inventors, here is the rousing account of one of the world’s defining scientific competitions.
