| the spider and the fly by mary howitt: The White Peacock D H Lawrence, 2020-03-12 I stood watching the shadowy fish slide through the gloom of the mill-pond. They were grey, descendants of the silvery things that had darted away from the monks, in the young days when the valley was lusty. The whole place was gathered in the musing of old age. The thick-piled trees on the far shore were too dark and sober to dally with the sun; the weeds stood crowded and motionless. Not even a little wind flickered the willows of the islets. The water lay softly, intensely still. Only the thin stream falling through the mill-race murmured to itself of the tumult of life which had once quickened the valley.I was almost startled into the water from my perch on the alder roots by a voice saying: Well, what is there to look at? My friend was a young farmer, stoutly built, brown eyed, with a naturally fair skin burned dark and freckled in patches. He laughed, seeing me start, and looked down at me with lazy curiosity.I was thinking the place seemed old, brooding over its past.He looked at me with a lazy indulgent smile, and lay down on his back on the bank, saying: It's all right for a doss-here. |

| the spider and the fly by mary howitt: The Spider and the Fly (Illustrated) Mary Howitt, 2023-02-24 Mary Howitt's classic 19th Century poem, The Spider and the Fly, warns its young readers against the danger of flattery and evil counsel.

The poem is told in an engaging rhyme and rhythm and is colorfully illustrated by Ukrainian artist Yelyzaveta Anysymova. This edition of Howitt's tale of moral hazard is a great addition to any child's bookshelf. Mary Howitt (1799-1888) was an English author of over 180 books, many written for children.

She was recognized and rewarded for her life's work with a silver medal from the Literary Academy of Stockholm and a Civil List Pension from the United Kingdom. Yelyzaveta Anysymova is a self-taught children's book artist from Ukraine. She draws inspiration from the people and beauty of her hometown of Zaporizhzhia. |
