Neil Gaiman - The Wolves in the Walls
Grade 2-4-Lucy hears sounds in her house and is certain that the "sneaking, creeping, crumpling" noises coming from inside the walls are wolves. Her parents and her brother know "if the wolves come out-, it's all over," and no one believes that the creatures are there-until they come out. Then the family flees, taking refuge outside. It is Lucy who bravely returns to rescue her pig puppet and who talks the others into forcing the animals to leave. Gaiman and McKean deftly pair text and illustrations to convey a strange, vivid story evolving from a child's worst, credible fear upon hearing a house creak and groan. Glowing eyes and expressive faces convey the imminent danger. This rather lengthy picture book displays the striking characteristics of a graphic novel: numerous four-panel pages opening into spreads that include painted people; scratchy ink-lined wolves; and photographed, computer-manipulated images. Children will delight in the "scary, creepy tone" and in the brave behavior displayed by the intrepid young heroine.
Charles Lamb - Mary Lamb - Shakespeare-mesék / Tales from Shakespeare
A XIX. század elején egy testvérpár, Charles és Mary Lamb mesékké alakították a valaha élt legnagyobb drámaíró, William Shakespeare történeteit. Céljuk ezzel az az eredeti művek olvasásához még túl fiatal olvasóközönség bevezetése volt Shakespeare világába. Könyvük végül ifjúsági irodalomból a felnőttek körében is népszerű klasszikussá vált. Jelen kötetben a húsz közül három mesét nyújtunk át az olvasónak kétnyelvű kiadvány formájában: Szentivánéji álom, Romeo és Júlia, illetve Hamlet, dán királyfi.
A nyelvtanulók szempontjait szem előtt tartva a minél kényelmesebb használhatóságra törekedtünk a kötet összeállításakor, ezért egymás mellé igazítva található minden oldalpáron az angol szöveg a bal, a magyar pedig a jobb oldalon. A három mesét így az angol szöveggel párhuzamosan követheti végig az olvasó – akár bekezdésről bekezdésre, mondatról mondatra – Vas István kiváló fordításában. A Shakespeare-drámák magyarításában is elévülhetetlen érdemeket szerző költő a mesék átültetése során törekedett arra, hogy az eredetin túl a magyar Shakespeare-hagyományból is ízelítőt adjon: munkája során felhasználta a klasszikussá lett magyar fordítások szavait, szófordulatait is. A két szöveg összevetése ezért a nyelvtanuláson és -gyakorláson túl fordításelméleti szempontból is érdekes és tanulságos tevékenység.
A holdfényes erdőben tündérbűbáj hatása alatt bolyongó szerelmesek, a tragikus sorsú veronai szerelmespár és a bosszút halogató dán királyfi történetének mese formájában való olvasása garantáltan remek szórakozást nyújt az idősebb és a fiatalabb olvasók számára egyaránt, nem utolsósorban pedig hozzásegít az angol nyelv alaposabb elsajátításához.

But Vasilisa doesn’t mind—she spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her beloved siblings, listening to her nurse’s fairy tales. Above all, she loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. Wise Russians fear him, her nurse says, and honor the spirits of house and yard and forest that protect their homes from evil.
After Vasilisa’s mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa’s new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.
And indeed, crops begin to fail, evil creatures of the forest creep nearer, and misfortune stalks the village. All the while, Vasilisa’s stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in a convent.
As danger circles, Vasilisa must defy even the people she loves and call on dangerous gifts she has long concealed—this, in order to protect her family from a threat that seems to have stepped from her nurse’s most frightening tales.
