-Titulo Original : The Devils Arithmetic (puffin Modern Classics)-Fabricante : Penguin Young Readers Group-Descripcion Original: 30th Anniversary edition with a new introduction from the author Hannah is tired of holiday gatherings?all her family ever talks about is the past. In fact, it seems to her thats what they do every Jewish holiday. But this years Passover Seder will be different?Hannah will be mysteriously transported into the past . . . and only she knows the unspeakable horrors that await. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award A triumphantly moving book. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Review A triumphantly moving book.--Kirkus Reviews, pointer review [Yolen] adds much to understanding the effects of the Holocaust, which will reverberate throughout history, today and tomorrow.--SLJ, starred review When 12-year-old Hannah is transported back to a 1940s Polish village, she experiences the very horrors that had embarrassed and annoyed her when her elders related their Holocaust experiences.--Publishers Weekly About the Author Born and raised in New York City, Jane Yolen now lives in Hatfield, Massachusetts. She attended Smith College and received her masters degree in education from the University of Massachusetts. The distinguished author of more than 170 books, Jane Yolen is a person of many talents. When she is not writing, Yolen composes songs, is a professional storyteller on the stage, and is the busy wife of a university professor, the mother of three grown children, and a grandmother. Active in several organizations, Yolen has been on the Board of Directors of the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators, was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America from 1986 to 1988, is on the editorial board of several magazines, and was a founding member of the Western New England Storytellers Guild, the Western Massachusetts Illustrators Guild, and the Bay State Writers Guild. For twenty years, she ran a monthly writers workshop for new childrens book authors. In 1980, when Yolen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law degree by Our Lady of the Elms College in Chicopee, Massachusetts, the citation recognized that throughout her writing career she has remained true to her primary source of inspiration--folk culture. Folklore is the perfect second skin, writes Yolen. From under its hide, we can see all the shimmering, shadowy uncertainties of the world. Folklore, she believes, is the universal human language, a language that children instinctively feel in their hearts. All of Yolens stories and poems are somehow rooted in her sense of family and self. The Emperor and the Kite, which was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1983 for its intricate papercut illustrations by Ed Young, was based on Yolens relationship with her late father, who was an international kite-flying champion. Owl Moon, winner of the 1988 Caldecott Medal for John Schoenherrs exquisite watercolors, was inspired by her husbands interest in birding. Yolens graceful rhythms and outrageous rhymes have been gathered in numerous collections. She has earned many awards over the years: the Regina Medal, the Kerlan Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Society of Childrens Book Writers Award, the Mythopoetic Societys Aslan Award, the Christopher Medal, the Boys Club Jr. Book Award, the Garden State Childrens Book Award, the Daedalus Award, a number of Parents Choice Magazine Awards, and many more. Her books and stories have been translated into Japanese, French, Spanish, Chinese, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Afrikaans, !Xhosa, Portuguese, and Braille. With a versatility that has led her to be called Americas Hans Christian Andersen, Yolen, the child of two writers, is a gifted and natural storyteller. Perhaps the best explanation for her outstanding accomplishments comes from Jane Yolen herself: I dont care whether the story is real or fantastical. I tell the story that needs to be told. copyright ? 2000 by Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers. All rights reserved...

-Titulo Original : The Witches-Fabricante : Penguin Young Readers Group-Descripcion Original: About the Author Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career. After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children’s stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated. Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.
