#GREEN EMBER BOOKS IN ORDER FULL#
The story is full of nourishing themes: good vs evil, redemption, self-sacrifice, loyalty, bravery - all the good stuff that feeds the imagination and inspires children (and all of us really) to be the heroes of our own stories. The Green Ember features adventure, suspense, and a wonderful selection of inspiring quotes. It is the story of two young rabbit siblings, Heather & Picket, who lived very ordinary lives (supposing you were a talking rabbit of course) in Nick Hollow until their family was kidnapped and their home destroyed by an army of evil wolves.
Smith’s desire is to tell new stories with an old soul, full of old virtues and “vintage adventure”, and that’s just what he did. Smith’s The Green Ember is just such a book. They may be hard to find at times, but they are being written.
I love them! But I do realize that all classics were new at some point in time and that just because an author is now dead does not mean their books are good or wholesome.Īs much as I get excited and feel compelled to tell everyone I know when I discover a classic work of children’s literature that I missed out on as a child, I’m even more excited when I discover books of equal value that are being written today. Let me confess to you straight out that I tend to have a bias towards the older, time-tested children’s classics.
