Little Black Mingo is the hero of the tale based in India. She resides with a vicious older woman called Black Noggy who systematically assaults her. The old lady takes Mingo to the river to obtain some water one day. She encounters a crocodile - sized mugger while fishing at the river - who wants to consume her. A mongoose saves her and recommends a technique to thwart the mugger.Mingo tricks the mugger into being captured by nearby fishermen after taking guidance out of the mongoose. The fishermen present Mingo with a gorgeous red dress as a thank you for helping them catch the dangerous mucker. Black Noggy is jealous of MinGo's brand new gown when she arrives home. Noggy heads to the river in enviously awaiting a gown of her own. She isn't as fortunate as Mingo and is afterwards taken adrift by another mugger.The tiny Black Mingo, freed from the clutches of the evil old lady, resides happily with the mongoos in the jungle.Just like other works by Bannerman, it tells the tale of dark skinned protagonist sucked into a distant land, causing discussions regarding its potential racial undertones. Therefore, several present day readers consider it critically within the context of postcolonial literature. However the primary plot centers around wit, courage and the victory of the weak.

Le démon japonais est réputé pour avoir un visage effrayant. C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi le théâtre Nō s'en inspire, à travers le masque du Oni. Canines pointues, cornes du diable, visage rouge et yeux enragés, le Oni fait peur et il semble bien souvent maléfique.Cependant, le démon japonais n'est pas aussi mauvais que sa réputation. Il arrive parfois que les Kami (dieux du Shintoïsme), et Bouddha lui-même, soient protégés par ces démons mythiques qui prônent la morale et la juste autorité.Bien sûr, le démon japonais n'est pas que protection: qu'il torture les âmes dans son chaudron géant ou qu'il dévore des enfants, le Oni est un Yokai qu'il faut craindre dans la plupart des situations et dès le plus jeune âge.Grâce à cet ouvrage, vous allez découvrir toute la richesse culturelle de cette créature qui participe aux fondamentaux du folklore japonais. De l'horrible Onibaba au pitoyable Hitotatara, voici une compilation d'étonnantes histoires des démons du Japon. Réponse au commentaire du 23 août 2022: en effet ce livre ne comprend pas de contes adaptés à une lecture auprès d'enfants, le soir venu. Ce sont de vrais petits mythes qui sont apparus à divers endroits du Japon, qui plairont particulièrement à ceux qui apprécient le Folklore dans son ensemble et à ceux qui portent un intérêt à la culture japonaise. Réponse au commentaire du 27 septembre 2021: il s'agit de petites histoires et mythes dont on a parfois que très peu d informations. J'aurais pu ne pas ajouter ces éléments culturels néanmoins même quelques lignes sur un Oni précis peuvent rajouter de la complexité à cette espèce de Yokai. Voilà pourquoi il n'y a parfois que peu d'informations sur un Oni précis: ce ne sont pas des récits d'invention mais des témoignages localisés sur les Yokai.

The tale was told and retold so many times that even became part of China thinking. (For more about that idea, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.) The No Three Hundred Taels of Silver Buried Here story is from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories, and is published in multiple Mead-Hill editions. Each edition is illustrated by a different artist. Each artist uses a different style of Chinese illustration. Each illustrated set can be collected; the collections can be put together to build a special library of China tales and stories. Mead-Hill website: www.mead-hill.com

This book changed my life.- Someone who the author definitely didn't pay to say that. This book is so good, it might be better than me.- Jesus. A love-sick Masai warrior, a princess turned scientist, and two cousins who have to save their families from illness, collide in a zany adventure with zebras, zombies, and Zambonis. (Okay, okay, there might not be Zambonis in East Africa, but you get the idea). Read the three interwoven stories that started the Snog Team Six adventure (and find out where Esmeralda the blind, East African, ninja assassin learned her fly moves). The Snog Team Six series is science fiction, fantasy, and humor mashed up in shameless-perfect-proportions. It's a story of scrappy misfits caught up in a fight they didn't pick but they will finish. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter, it's adored by fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus series; Hank Green's Carl Saga; TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea; Garth Nix's Lefthanded Book Sellers; and Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It's irreverent, clever; full of humor and heart. You won't be able to put it down.
