Story
本作作者菊池寛は、小説家で、劇作家で、ジャーナリスト、東京市会議だったり、大映の社長だったり。文藝春秋社つくって、芥川賞・直木賞も創立した。日本麻雀連盟初総裁をつとめ、競馬に入れ込み馬主にもなり、将棋も嗜み「人生は一局の将棋なり 指し直す能わず」と嘯いている。 頭の回転早くお茶目でいたずら好きで屈託なくむとんちゃく、大人になっても泥まみれで遊んでいる子供のような彼は、ねらいたがわず合戦とか武将も大好きで、ウンチクたれてるだけでは飽き足らず本作を上梓した。 本作は戦国時代の幕開けとなった合戦。「特に勇壮な場面や、華々しい情景には乏しい。活躍する人物にも英雄豪傑はいない」と冒頭にあるようにこの合戦に着目した著書は少ない。その合戦を日本の代表する合戦に入れた菊池寛の史観を端的に表した作品でもある。

こどものための聴く絵本シリーズ
自己犠牲をいとわず、仇討ちを果たす忠義と意地の物語
本作品は文豪・菊池寛が編集し直した原稿がベースになっています。この作品の題材になった赤穂事件は、江戸時代中期の元禄14年3月14日、江戸城殿中の松之大廊下で赤穂藩藩主・浅野長矩(内匠頭)が高家肝煎・吉良義央(上野介)に刃傷に及んだことがきっかけとなって起こりました。史実をもとに浄瑠璃・歌舞伎で作品が創られていき、その集大成とも呼ばれる「仮名手本忠臣蔵」は、客が不入りでもこの演目が出れば当たるというほどの人気だったそうです。
●あらすじ
元禄14年の三月のこと。江戸城にあった松の廊下で、赤穂藩主浅野内匠頭が江戸幕府の家臣、吉良上野介を刃で切り付け、重症を負わせた。調査の結果、加害者の浅野内匠頭が切腹となった一方で、吉良上野介に対して処分が下されなかった。当時は、事件の加害者と被害者は共に処分がある「喧嘩両成敗」という決まりがあり、本来であれば吉良側にも処分が下るはずだったが、処分が下ったのは浅野側のみであった。浅野内匠頭は即日切腹となっただけではなく、治めていた藩はお取り潰し、藩士は失業し浪人となった。その結果を不服とする赤穂藩の家老・大石内蔵助をはじめとする赤穂浪士47名は、藩主の無念を晴らすべく赤穂藩お取り潰しの撤回運動を行うが叶わず、Failed to add items

貧乏なおじいさんに育てられた少年ネルロと、フランダース産の大きな犬パトラッシュ。
ネルロはパトラッシュが前の主人に捨てられたときに出逢い、それ以来ふたりはこれ以上なく親しくなりました。
ネルロとパトラッシュとおじいさんは、小さな小屋でつつましく暮らし、牛乳を運んでわずかな日銭を稼いでいました。
貧乏な中でも優しい人たちと出会い、3人で幸せな毎日を過ごしていたのです。
しかし、ある日、ある出来事を境に、しあわせな毎日が変わっていきます。
ネルロには夢がありました。

つらい状況に置かれながらも、家族と夢のために進むネルロ。
そんな中、アントワープの町の絵の審査会の日がやってくるのです。

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.
