这是一部描写家人亲情和姐妹情深的感人至深的力作，也是吐露漂泊异乡的追梦者孤独和寂寞之感的代表作。 姐姐林恩教会凯蒂说的个词是“基拉-基拉”，它在日语中是“亮晶晶”的意思。凯蒂喜欢这个词！长大一些后，她就用“亮晶晶”来形容自己喜欢的所有东西：蔚蓝的天空啊，皑皑的白雪啊，可爱的小猫小狗啊，美丽的蝴蝶啊，还有那五颜六色的餐巾纸啊，等等。 十岁那年，凯蒂全家从美国艾奥瓦搬到东南部佐治亚的一个小镇，日常生活的艰辛和周围人的对他们一家的歧视，像阴山一样笼罩在凯帝的心头，是姐姐教会了她如何勇敢地面对一切的不如意，努力去发掘和欣赏生命中各种各样美好的事物，而维系家庭成员的浓浓的亲情，更是为她增添了无比的勇气和力量。不幸的是，姐姐后来得了重病，凯蒂无微不至地照顾她，直到她生命的后一刻
Epic. Bestselling. Award-winning. The complete Dark Is Rising Sequence is now available as one keepsake collection. Will Stanton’s ordinary life is shattered with the dreadful revelation that the Dark—the source of all evil—is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. He finds that he is no ordinary boy, but the last-born of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to keeping mankind free from the Dark. Soon Will is swept up in the great battle, along with his ageless master, Merriman; the three Drew children, who are mortal but have their own vital part to play; and a strange boy named Bran. These six fight fear and death in a quest through time and space interwoven with the most ancient myths of the islands of Britain—until, at last, Will and Bran find the weapon that will ultimately vanquish the Dark. One of the most celebrated fantasy sequences of all time, The Dark Is Rising is a searing, epic rendering of the eternal conflict between good and evil. This complete collec
Maidens, monks, and millers’ sons — in these pages, readers will meet them all. There’s Hugo, the lord’s nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant’s daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There’s also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd — inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manu*, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany — this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.
