Polly Shulman: The Grimm Legacy

The Grimm Legacy


Description

Elizabeth has just started working as a page at the New York Circulating Material Repository - a lending library of objects, contemporary and historical, common and obscure. And secret, too - for in the repository's basement lies the Grimm Collection, a room of magical items straight from the Grimm Brother's fairy tales. But the magic mirrors and seven-league boots and other items are starting to disappear. And before she knows it, she and her fellow pages - handsome Marc, perfect Anjali, and brooding Aaron - are suddenly caught up in an exciting, and dangerous, magical adventure.

Sixth adventure about Fleabag Monkeyface and his gross-loving friends Fleabag Monkeyface turns gross-eologist when the Golden Toilet of Baboon is stolen from the ancient city of Smell Dorado. Greedy gross-antique collector Baron Von Dirtoffen has been searching the world for valuable artefacts for his Travelling Museum of Gross and the Golden Toilet will be his prize exhibit. However, the theft has unleashed an ancient curse and if the Toilet isn't returned by the next solar eclipse - in two days time! - a host of zombie monkeys will appear and destroy the world. Only Fleabag and his friends, Gerald and Gene, can save the Earth from an onslaught of zombie monkeys! Aristophanes has long been admired for his brilliant satire of the social, intellectual, and political life of Athens at its height. The new Loeb The Grimm Legacy free epub Classical Library edition of his plays - with a suitably romping translation facing a freshly edited Greek text - is brought to completion with this fourth volume. "Frogs" was produced in 405 b.c., shortly after the deaths of Sophocles and Euripides. Dionysus, on a journey to the underworld to retrieve Euripides, is recruited to judge a contest between the traditional Aeschylus and the modern Euripides, a contest that yields both comedy and insight on ancient literary taste. In "Assemblywomen" Athenian women plot to save Athens from male misgovernance. They institute a new social order in which all inequalities based on wealth, age, and beauty are eliminated-with raucously comical results. The gentle humour and straightforward morality of "Wealth" made it the most popular of Aristophanes' plays from classical times to the Renaissance. Here the god Wealth, cured of his blindness, is able to distinguish good people from bad.
