Publisher's summary
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen and illustrator Minnie Phan comes an unforgettable story of a Vietnamese American girl whose life is transformed by a wildfire.
When Simone is awakened by her mom as a wildfire threatens their home, it is the beginning of a life-changing journey. On their way to take shelter in a high school gym, the family passes firefighters from a prison unit battling the fire. Simone’s mom tells her that when she was a girl in Viet Nam, she was forced to evacuate her home after a flood. Joined by other children sheltering in the gym, Simone, a budding artist, encourages everyone to draw as a way to process their situation. After a few days, Simone and her mom are able to return to their home, which is fortunately still standing, and her outlook has changed. As Simone begins creating a piece of art with one of her new friends, she realizes that even though they are young, they can dream and work together for a more sustainable future. With a poetic, haunting family story by esteemed author Viet Thanh Nguyen and gorgeous art from illustrator Minnie Phan, this powerful tale introduces an unforgettable young heroine who awakens to a new role fighting for her community and for the future of the planet.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
A doctor who treats a person afflicted with leprosy using macabre methods is an unstable physician. Although Rimel admitted that he wrote the story himself and Lovecraft only made stylistic corrections, the work is characterized by the very distinct style of the latter. Even though the writer from Providence congratulated his junior colleague on the text and claimed to have made only minor corrections, it could have been a typical courtesy on his part. A supporter of the hypothesis of Lovecraft's authorship is that Rimel did not create anything else in a similar style.

Porcelain and Pink - one of the stories, which entered in a collection of eleven short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald Tales of the Jazz Age (1922). Originally appearing in the January 1920 issue of The Smart Set, Porcelain and Pink was the earliest of the stories Fitzgerald would later reprint in a book-length collection. Porcelain and Pink is a comic one-act play. The plot involves a young woman in a bathtub and a case of mistaken identity. The story is a bit of a lark, a one-act burlesque that opens with a splendidly droll parody of stage directions, featuring a blue porcelain bathtub.

В 1894-1895 годах в свет выходят знаменитые "Книга джунглей" и "Вторая книга джунглей", подлинные шедевры Редьярда Киплинга. Сказка "Слуги Её Величества" (Книга джунглей) о том, как животные, которые служат людям во время военных походов, рассуждают о военных сражениях. Во время войны животные вместе с людьми несут все тяготы и неудобства походной жизни. Однажды ночью солдат, который немного понимал язык животных, подслушал, о чем говорят животные в лагере. Оказывается, о том же, что и люди.

Христова ночь (Предание) — сказка русского писателя Михаила Салтыкова-Щедрина впервые появилась в печати в 1886 году в №245 "Русских ведомостей". Вместе с "Христовой ночью" в этом номере была впервые напечатана и сказка "Путём-дорогою". Эта сказка посвящена проблемам нравственности (или морали). Для большей доходчивости (до сознания широкого круга читателей) Салтыков-Щедрин использует евангельскую притчу о предательстве Иуды и воскресении Христа (а также сюжет легенды об Агасфере, «Вечном Жиде») в форме христианской проповеди.

An absurd (and unfinished) story about the threat posed by the infinite network of scissor-shaped spacecraft with completely alien shapes faced by the civilization of plant-animal creatures. A mockery ridiculing the popular space opera of the 1930s. Although Lovecraft and Barlow intended to write one paragraph each, the latter created the majority of the work.

In the vast expanse of the Algerian desert, an adventurer embarks on a solitary journey to explore ancient temples hidden among the dunes. As he delves into the ruins, he uncovers engravings on the walls that hint at a civilization far more advanced than ours, one that predates history as we know it. Suddenly, he’s whisked away by unseen forces and comes face-to-face with these ancient beings. In a twist of fate, he learns the secret behind their diminished stature, as they have evolved into beings of small form but immense intellect, a stark contrast to their grand legacy etched in stone.

The God of His Fathers: Tales of The Klondyke. It was written by Jack London in the 1919 year. As a young man in the summer of 1897, Jack London joined the Klondike gold rush. From that seminal experience emerged these gripping, inimitable wilderness tales, which have endured as some of London's best and most defining work. With remarkable insight and unflinching realism, London describes the punishing adversity that awaited men in the brutal, frozen expanses of the Yukon, and the extreme tactics these adventurers and travelers adopted to survive.

Even his son has to leave him because he has a new family to feed and take care of.
