There is not much else, but it is charming in summer! It was under the willow-tree in one of these gardens that Johanne and Knud spent a great deal of their time and theirs was a beautiful friendship. But everything would change when Johanne had to leave for Copenhagen with her father! Would they remain friends? Or even, as Knud hoped, could they become more than friends? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Book excerpt: La Chambre sous le saule, est, selon le mot de son auteure, une sorte de « poésifiction » : forme en prose fragmentée, langue volontairement fluide. Ce qui y est à l'œuvre et que l’auteure nomme le don d’instase est magique, chamanique. C’est quand tout concorde un instant. Réceptivité à la nature, aux bêtes, aux sensations, au surnaturel, à l’esprit du monde; joie d’habiter et recueillement sont les maîtres mots. Mais la contrepartie du don est sombre et cherche à tout gâcher. L’auteure écrit dans cette tension. « C’est du décousu main, et en même temps, dès le titre, prosodique ("La chambre sous le saule"), iambe et anapeste nous sont promis, comme jadis et naguère par “la mort / des amants” », écrit Michel Deguy.

Book excerpt: From the day he was born in the late 1800s, Willie Canes father knew he was special. Willie was taught to trap and hunt in the Tensaw River Delta of South Alabama and became well known for his skills. He was a strong man with a reputation of having no fear and knowing the ways of the swamp. Like the popular stories Jeramiah Johnson and Grizzly Adams, this story is of a young man that learned life the hard way. Willie had one close friend Sam Calhoun and some animals that kept him company. One day a gypsy told him of things to come, even of his desires for a woman that also lived in the delta. Molly Bell, a neighbor, captured his heart as he did hers. Molly left the swamp for the city, leaving Willie alone with no reason and a broken heart that was until she returned. The story is full of history, excitement, mystery, and love.

Book excerpt: Love is patient and kind...1 Corinthians 13:4 West Virginia, 1869 Three years ago, Dr. Daniel Kavanagh settled down in the quaint town of Mount Laurel and established a medical practice there. The single doctor has been nursing an unrequited crush on Serena Norman, the local schoolteacher. Just down the road lies the coal mining town of Owenduffy, considered by most in Mount Laurel to be a backwoods hamlet. When the mine company's doctor abandons his post, Daniel agrees to visit one day a week, much to the consternation of his fellow residents, including his secret love, Serena. Addie Rose, the daughter of an Owenduffy coal miner, has a gift for caring for others. When a receptionist position in Daniel's office suddenly becomes available, what windows of opportunity will God open for Addie Rose—just a job, a possible career as a nurse, or maybe something more? Harp on the Willow is a touching tale of true love, the kind that can only come from a Savior who first loved us.

Book excerpt: In early nineteenth-century Japan—the “silver age” of Edo-period literature—Ryutei Tanehiko was a well-known author of popular illustrated fiction. This account of his life and works covers his early yomihon (lengthy romances of improbable perils and adventures) and his gokan (intricately plotted stories in simple language intended for a general audience). Special emphasis is given his most popular work—the illustrated serial Nise Muraskai inaka Genji (An Impostor Murasaki and Rustic Genji), which ran for fourteen years—Japan’s first national bestseller. Andrew Markus deftly shows how Tanehiko transposed episodes of the eleventh-century Genji monogatari to a fifteenth-century Muromachi setting in a plot dependent on the conventions of nineteenth-century kabuki. Markus fleshes out Tanehiko’s diaries and the remarks of his contemporaries to create a fascinating picture of an author who, after years of spectacular success, fell victim to the Tenpo Reform promulgations against “morally inappropriate” publications and whose mysterious death sent shock waves through the publishing world.

Book excerpt: Included in the "Most Anticipated Books of 2024" by the Chicago Review of Books In the backyard of Margaret and Joe Dowling’s new house in the north suburbs of Chicago, Joe plants a young willow tree as a symbol of home, belonging, and growth. As the years pass, the willow becomes a place for Margaret to share life’s wisdom with their four young daughters. Years after leaving the nest, now in their early forties, the Dowling women find themselves faced with changes that will define their lives. Debra, the oldest, is shattered when she is asked for a divorce. Rose, who has long hidden her true self, finally begins to evaluate her pattern of being in uncommitted relationships. Linney fears losing Magnolia, the magical shop where she works. Charlotte, the youngest, is the only one who knows their mother is terminally ill, and has been charged by her with keeping it a secret. And Margaret, now faced with the greatest of challenges and struggling with whether she has done enough to help her daughters find their way in life, calls them all to the family home to reunite under the willow one last time. A metaphorically rich and reflective tale of sisterhood and strength, The Wisdom of the Willow is a story of hope and healing, of the choices that shape our lives, and the challenges we all face as we seek to find our places in the world.

The third installment of Where Love Meets War finds us right in the middle of mystical factions pitted against each other. For the first time in the series, the lives of everyone involved comes rushing together for a fight with no clear ending, and no clear solutions. The only thing we know for sure is that the answers are locked safely away, and it will take a revolution of thought to free them.
