culture. education. literary studies.
Iโm happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story). This one contains a non-fiction story โMy Herbariumโ by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."
โGhostland: In Search of a Haunted Countryโ is an excellent, genre-blending book, that brings together nature and travel writing, literary and cultural history, exploration of the supernatural, plus the added element of memoir. Itโs filled with the sense of love, wonder, and appreciation for Englandโs landscapes and the ghostly tales that quietly echo through its forests, hills and moors.
In this post weโll read a wonderful autumn-themed poem by one of my favourite authors, Sarah Orne Jewett. Describing the scenery surrounding her hometown of South Berwick, Maine, the poet paints the picture of beauty and richness of a sunny November day.
In this post I am going to share with you a wonderfully simple poem by Joyce Kilmer. Entitled โTreesโ, the poet uses it to express the majestic nature of these living beings, superior even to artistic creation and intelligence of man.
