Between the Forest and the HillsAnn Lawrence Special Discount! 1883937396 Between the Forests and the Hills is a humorous fantasy tale set in ancient Britain. Iscium, an isolated Roman town in the west of Britain, is cut off from the collapsing Empire. Most of the town senators and officials are primarily concerned with keeping a low profile with the neighboring barbarians and renovating the city baths--with the exception of the crotchety old bishop. But when young Falx runs away, and finds a lost barbarian girl, things begin to happen. The children are brought back by a one-eyed merchant who returns them to an Iscium quivering with the possibility of a barbarian invasion. The mysterious merchant has a plan--involving two talking ravens and The Hallelujah Chorus--and life is never quite the same again, for either the Romans or their invaders. Ages 12-up. Paperback, 247pgs.

Noah Webster's 1828 DictionaryVision Forum Special Discount! 7-7VFNWD36547 Please allow extra-time for this item- Ships in 2-3 weeks. This gigantic, oversized, expensive, heavy book is perhaps second only to the Bible in terms of importance in your home. When Noah Webster first published this book, he understood that whoever defined the words of a culture would capture that culture. So he sought to give the American people a dictionary in which words have meaning in terms of their relationship to Jesus Christ. In fact, this is the only comprehensive dictionary of the English language in print that seeks to communicate a distinctively biblical worldview, even to the point of using Scriptures in the definitions. Your children can join the ranks of those generations of American leaders who were weaned on Webster. Our book is sturdy and well bound with acid-free paper and a gold foil stamp. A worthy investment. Hardback. 11 1/4"H x 8 1/2"W x 2 1/2"D. 2,000 pgs. Item 7-7FACEDict; 36547.

Simply GrammarAuthor: Karen Andreola Special Discount! 1-889209015 Simply Grammar is built around the use of narration because it is the most natural and effective way to use language. "Narration is not the work of a parrot." That is work-book mentality. It is the absorbing into oneself the beautiful thought from a book, making it ones own and then giving it forth again with just that little touch that comes from one's own mind. What a child digs for becomes his own possesssion. Narration challenges and strengthens all the powers of mind: attending, remembering, visualizing, comprehending, synthesizing (seeing the whole from the parts) and articulating. Ideas are what the mind feeds on and this primer gives at least one idea a day. For grade levels 4-8, the book can be used even through high school years as a reference.
