Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Some minutes must be kept.The second tale of The Wizard of Owl Cottage - a warm, old-fashioned fairy tale for readers 8-12, written by a grandfather for his grandchildren and told in the unhurried, wry voice of the classic nursery tale.Last summer, Sophia, Emma, and Harvey crossed an ancient stone wall by accident. This time, they are invited. A silver acorn appears on Emma's pillow, calling the three children back through the circle for tea at Owl Cottage - where the kettles have names, the furniture has opinions, and a dark door beneath the stairs must never, ever be opened.But the Warden is called away on an errand beyond the wall. The tall clock by the hearth strikes thirteen. And somewhere in the night, Owl Cottage quietly loses an hour.While Madam Brindlewake - a very old, very proper, tea-loving dragon - keeps the cottage and the door, the children go searching through a landscape made of time itself for the three true times: First Light, Middle Chime, and Last Ember. Their errand leads them through a dew orchard where mornings are grown, down to a drowned bell that remembers too much, and into the hall between the ticks of a clock, where every door opens onto a different sky.Because far below the cottage, the prisoner has stolen one small minute. It is only a minute, he whispers. Only a look. Only one little mercy. That, as the children discover, is exactly the trouble.Dragon Time is a fairy tale about patience, promises, and the minutes we keep - about learning that not all pressure should be obeyed, that anger can break what duty means to protect, and that good keeping takes patience. There is danger of the quiet, whispering kind; courage of the small, stubborn, everyday kind; and comfort of the oldest kind - a lamplit kitchen, a kettle beginning to sing, and a dragon who keeps the fire.Illustrated throughout with eighteen engraved chapter medallions, and finished with Madam Brindlewake's own stovetop cookie recipe and a nature-lover's glossary of the Fibonacci sequence. Dragon Time stands on its own, but readers of Berry Time will find the promises deepening from tale to tale.The magic is old. The stakes are gentle but real. And the tea, naturally, matters. Some minutes must be kept. When Owl Cottage loses an hour, three children and a very proper tea-loving dragon must recover three true times - before the prisoner below turns one stolen minute into an open door. Book two, for ages 8-12. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Some walls are built to keep things out. Some are built to keep things in. The trick is knowing which kind you are looking at - before you climb over.Sophia notices walls. Emma notices when grown-ups are lying. Harvey notices berries - which is exactly how all the trouble begins.On a bright June morning, three cousins wander past the last mown yard and discover an ancient stone wall where no wall has ever been. It runs in a perfect, mortarless curve with no gate and no break, ringing a wood that is too green, too quiet, and far too old - where the oaks are oakier than oaks and the shade is more shade than shade. Along the wall grow berries no bird will touch: gold-red, moon-blue, and deepest, coldest black.And when Harvey's hand closes around the darkest one, something deep beneath the earth answers with a small, patient, metal sound.A chain.At the heart of the circle waits Owl Cottage, where the kettles have names, the furniture has opinions, and three owls keep watch from the roof. Its keeper is the Warden: a jovial, ancient, unsettlingly powerful wizard keeping a very old promise - and guarding a door that must never be opened.To mend what they have broken, the cousins must restore three forgotten wards before the boundary fails: the Sun Meadow Stone, the Moonbrook Gate, the Blackthorn Root. Each errand tests one child exactly where they are strongest: * Sophia, who keeps everyone safe - until safety becomes a cage.* Emma, clever enough to doubt everything - until cleverness becomes pride.* Harvey, kind to every small and lonely thing - until kindness forgets to be wise.For something is waiting beneath Owl Cottage. A prisoner who never shouts and never threatens - a gentle, sorrowful, endlessly patient voice that knows each child's name for goodness and asks, so softly, for one small kindness. It will not tempt them to be cruel. It will tempt them to be good in exactly the wrong way.The Wizard of Owl Cottage: Berry Time is a warm, old-fashioned fairy tale in the tradition of the great read-aloud classics - funny, tender, and quietly wise. It is a story about boundaries and bravery, mercy and its counterfeits, and the hardest lesson of all: learning which doors should stay shut, and why kindness, cleverness, and courage each need wisdom to remain good.Brimming with bickering cousins, opinionated kettles, a box turtle of ancient disapproval, and an owl calling "Who cooks for you?" through the trees, this is a book to be devoured under the covers and shared aloud at bedtime - with a gentle invitation to talk about when to help and when to hold back, and why some boundaries are a form of love.Perfect for readers ages 8 to 12 and families reading together. Fans of Narnia, The Tale of Despereaux, Tuck Everlasting, and The Penderwicks will feel right at home.Step over the wall. Just remember: some doors are meant to stay closed.Includes a glossary of the real wildflowers, trees, and fungi the children meet - a hidden nature guide tucked inside a fairy tale. Three children discover a hidden wood beyond an ancient wall, where one stolen berry awakens a dangerous prisoner. To set things right, they must complete three magical errands and learn that courage must be guided by wisdom and mercy. This item is printed on demand.

Just remember: some doors are meant to stay closed.Includes a glossary of the real wildflowers, trees, and fungi the children meet - a hidden nature guide tucked inside a fairy tale. When three children stumble upon a mysterious stone boundary, they accidentally disturb an ancient seal and must embark on a magical quest to restore forgotten wards before a gentle, deceptive prisoner escapes from beneath a wizard's home.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Some minutes must be kept.The second tale of The Wizard of Owl Cottage - a warm, old-fashioned fairy tale for readers 8-12, written by a grandfather for his grandchildren and told in the unhurried, wry voice of the classic nursery tale.Last summer, Sophia, Emma, and Harvey crossed an ancient stone wall by accident. This time, they are invited. A silver acorn appears on Emma's pillow, calling the three children back through the circle for tea at Owl Cottage - where the kettles have names, the furniture has opinions, and a dark door beneath the stairs must never, ever be opened.But the Warden is called away on an errand beyond the wall. The tall clock by the hearth strikes thirteen. And somewhere in the night, Owl Cottage quietly loses an hour.While Madam Brindlewake - a very old, very proper, tea-loving dragon - keeps the cottage and the door, the children go searching through a landscape made of time itself for the three true times: First Light, Middle Chime, and Last Ember. Their errand leads them through a dew orchard where mornings are grown, down to a drowned bell that remembers too much, and into the hall between the ticks of a clock, where every door opens onto a different sky.Because far below the cottage, the prisoner has stolen one small minute. It is only a minute, he whispers. Only a look. Only one little mercy. That, as the children discover, is exactly the trouble.Dragon Time is a fairy tale about patience, promises, and the minutes we keep - about learning that not all pressure should be obeyed, that anger can break what duty means to protect, and that good keeping takes patience. There is danger of the quiet, whispering kind; courage of the small, stubborn, everyday kind; and comfort of the oldest kind - a lamplit kitchen, a kettle beginning to sing, and a dragon who keeps the fire.Illustrated throughout with eighteen engraved chapter medallions, and finished with Madam Brindlewake's own stovetop cookie recipe and a nature-lover's glossary of the Fibonacci sequence. Dragon Time stands on its own, but readers of Berry Time will find the promises deepening from tale to tale.The magic is old. The stakes are gentle but real. And the tea, naturally, matters.…
