具體描述

內容簡介

An easy-to-read, page-turning account of Harriet Tubman's life—from her childhood in slavery to her years as a conductor on the Underground Railroad to her later work as a suffragette and as a spy in the Civil War. This remarkable true story brings to life one of America's greatest female role models.

作者簡介

Monica Kulling was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. When she was seven, she moved with her family to her father's boyhood home in Switzerland. Here Monica continued with grade one, the big difference being she didn't understand a word anyone was saying!

The big adventure lasted only a year. Monica and her family moved back to British Columbia to live in the small town of Chilliwack in the heart of the Fraser Valley. Monica's parents operated a delicatessen, where Monica and her four siblings worked, each in their turn.

Monica was now in grade two and speaking English all the time, which suited her better. She wasn't the kind of girl who always had her nose in a book or kept a diary of all the great girl things she was doing, and she never won a spelling bee!

Monica was an outdoor girl. She loved recess and playing marbles or dodge ball, red rover or baseball. After school, Monica climbed trees, played baseball even in the rain, and rode her bike all over town. On weekends, she took her younger sister and brother to the movies.

Monica loved comic books. They gave her a chance to practice her reading! Nancy and Sluggo and the Superheroes were special favourites.

Monica lived the life of a free-range kid. She had plenty of time to go where she wanted, to sit under a tree and daydream, and to have adventures.

Monica still didn't read much, even in high school. She did love the illustrated classic comic books and had the entire collection of almost 200. These comics gave her an intimate knowledge of the great works of literature in the English language.

If Monica didn't especially like to read or write, how did she get started as a writer? She loved music, especially the music of the sixties and the lyrics of poets like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. When she was sixteen, Monica heard the words of Paul Simon in his song "The Boxer" and those of Joni Mitchell in her song "Both Sides Now," and she was blown away.

Monica was glued to the radio and records, going over the poetry of the lyrics in her mind. She had long ago put away comic books and taken up the guitar. She soon became hooked on the passion and poetry of the wonderful song writers of the day--Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Laura Nyro, and many more. Monica was also studying poetry in school and was soon reading the great poets, because she wanted to, not because she had to.

Monica started to write her own poems and, after high school, studied creative writing at the University of Victoria. In her final year, she took a course in children's literature. She loved it so much, she began to write for children. In 1992, she published her first book, a picture book about an orange cat, called I Hate You, Marmalade!

Monica Kulling lives in Toronto, Ontario.

精彩書評

"This biography of Harriet Tubman introduces young children to the idea of slavery and relates how one woman became a "conductor" on the underground railroad. A brave and courageous woman, she is credited with making nineteen trips south and bringing more than three hundred people out of slavery. Part of the "STEP into Reading" series."

讀書能陶冶人的情操,給人知識和智慧。所以,我們應該多讀書,讀書能夠蕩滌浮躁的塵埃汙穢,過濾齣一股沁人心脾的靈新之氣,甚至還可以營造齣一種超凡脫俗的嫻靜氛圍。讀陶淵明的《飲酒》詩,體會“結廬在人境,而無車馬喧”那種置身鬧市卻人靜如深潭的境界,感悟作者高深、清高背後所具有的定力和毅力;讀世界經典名著《巴黎聖母院》,讓我們看到如此醜陋的卡西莫多卻能夠擁有善良美麗的心靈、淳樸真誠的品質、平靜從容的氣質和不卑不亢的風度,他的內心在時間的見證下摺射齣耀人的光彩,使我們在尋覓美的真諦的同時去追求心靈的高尚與純潔。讀王濛的《寬容的哲學》、林語堂的《生活的藝術》以及古人流傳於世的名言警句,這些都能使我們擁有誠實捨棄虛僞,擁有充實捨棄空虛,擁有踏實捨棄浮躁,平靜而坦然地度過每一個晨曦每一個黃昏。

也許是因為像這樣的故事看得多瞭,我開始喜歡幻想,我喜歡做夢,因為有許多在現實生活中不能完成的事在夢裏都能實現。我並且相信,善良的人都會有好報,像灰姑娘,像白雪公主,等等。

裏麵的故事常常感動著我,給我印象最深的一篇故事是《灰姑娘》,裏麵講述的是一個美麗善良的小女孩。她的媽媽死去瞭,父親給她找瞭一個後媽。那個後媽帶著兩個小女孩,這兩個女孩愛美、狠毒。這樣,灰姑娘就被欺負,天天睡在廚房裏,身上很髒,所以彆人稱她灰姑娘。她在媽媽的墳墓旁,認識瞭小白鴿。有一次,國王幫王子選妃,舉行瞭三天宴會。最後,灰姑娘被選上瞭王妃,而兩個姐姐氣得暈過去瞭。

評分

這一套書很有名,對學習英語很有幫助,但一直價格很高,這本不高,而且促銷買的,不錯。

評分

當然,那裏也有許多王子與公主的故事,例如,美麗善良的“白雪公主”,聰明可愛的“小紅帽”,沉睡瞭一百年的公主“睡美人”,可惡凶狠的老巫婆,饞嘴的狐狸和聰明的鵝

評分

湊單買的原版,讓小朋友瞭解下美國蓄奴史。語言淺顯。
