Instead, she said, "The Magic Half." I was a little surprised, but decided to read it myself. The other night I asked her, what was her favorite book in the last year? I thought she would mention one of the Magic Treehouse books. Several months passed before my daughter got around to reading it. While looking for other Ivy and Bean books on the web, I saw a review of the Magic Half, and it sounded good, so I ordered it, too. We ran into Annie Barrows' books first through the Ivy and Bean series, of which my daughter read all in print.

She has probably read over a hundred books in the last year. I've tried to get her to branch out, so I've bought her other books, too, including classics.

Jeffrey Kent Eugenides is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and short story writer of Greek and Irish extraction.Įugenides was born in Detroit, Michigan, of Greek and Irish descent. The apple was early so important, and generally distributed, that its name traced to its root in many languages signifies fruit in general. Niebuhr observes that “the words for a house, a field, a plough, ploughing, wine, oil, milk, sheep, apples, and others relating to agriculture and the gentler way of life, agree in Latin and Greek, while the Latin words for all objects pertaining to war or the chase are utterly alien from the Greek, while the Latin words for all objects pertaining to war or the cause are utterly alien from the Greek.” Thus the apple-tree may be considered a symbol of peace no less than the olive. Tacitus says of the ancient Germans, that they satisfied their hunger with wild apples ( agrestia poma) among other things. An entire black and shriveled Crab-Apple has been recovered from their stores. It appears that apples made a part of the food of that unknown primitive people whose traces have lately been found at the bottom of the Swiss lakes, supposed to be older than the foundation of Rome, so old that they had no metallic implements. The geologist tells us that the order of the Rosaceœ, which includes the Apple, also the true Grasses, and the Labiatœ, or Mints, were introduced only a short time previous to the appearance of man on the globe. It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple-tree is connected with that of man. |
