“A piratical ghost story in thirteen ingenious but potentially disturbing rhyming couplets, originally conceived as a confection both to amuse and to entertain by Mr. Neil Gaiman, scrivener, and then doodled, elaborated upon, illustrated, and beaten soundly by Mr. Cris Grimly, etcher and illuminator, featuring two brave children, their diminutive but no less courageous gazelle, and a large number of extremely dangerous trolls, monsters, bugbears, creatures, and other such nastiness, many of which have perfectly disgusting eating habits and ought not, under any circumstances, to be encouraged.” ChildrenTwoStoriesNumbersDangerousOughtHabitCircumstancesCreaturesEatingBraveMonstersGhostCourageousDisgustingBeatenDisturbingLarge NumbersThirteenIngeniousRhymingTrollBe EncouragedGhost StoriesEating HabitsNastinessGazellesCoupletsGaiman Author:Neil Gaiman
“Children are living beings - more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love.” PeopleWorldShouldChildrenSchoolSpiritDevelopmentHabitLessonsBuiltMental HealthMereShellsPersonal Love Book:The English Writings of Rabindranath Tagore: A miscellany Source: The English Writings of Rabindranath Tagore: A miscellany
