One Good Quest Deserves Another: A Crown of Amaranth Story

13 year old Paul and his 10 year old sister Chaeley wished for nothing more than a carefree summer filled with lots of swimming, boating, and hiking. And they got their wish...sort of.
 They got to go boating when they "borrowed" their grandfather's sailboat. And they got to go swimming when the boat sank off the coast of a tropical island. Now they are going to get to go hiking, because a bizarre genie named Rialti has turned Chealey into a camel and won't turn her back until they bring him a magical dragon's horn from the other side of the Crown of Amaranth.
 For the protection of the magical people and animals that live in the Crown of Amaranth, its exact location must remain secret. It is one of the last refuges of giants, trolls, witches, unicorns, fairy folk, and dragons, all of whom have their own reasons for delaying the children in their quest.

Finding Froebel: The Man Who Invented Kindergarten

Friedrich Froebel, the 'father of kindergarten', is one of the most influential pedagogues of the 19th century. However, relatively little is known about his life, his successes and failures, and his personal relationships. Based on many untranslated and unknown letters, this new biography presents Froebel as a brilliant but also flawed man. Beginning with his childhood and the early death of his mother, as well as his difficult relationship with his father and stepmother, we see the early seeds of Froebel's interest in children and the training of early childhood practitioners. While Froebel lacked basic academic knowledge due to his poor early education, he was able to overcome these deficits and found an educational institute, and develop ground-breaking educational theories about play and pedagogy. He authored multiple books, including his most famous work The Education of Man. The focus of this book, though, is not on Froebel's educational theories but on his complicated relationships with his family, the Keilhau community, and the mother of one of his pupils, Caroline von Holzhausen, whom he called the "rune of his life". After many personal and professional disappointments, Froebel finally came up with the idea that made him famous until today: kindergarten. In the last decade of his life, he became a salesman of this new idea and worked tirelessly for the establishment of the kindergarten movement. However, when the Prussian government banned kindergarten shortly before his death, Froebel was broken - even if kindergarten lives until today.

The Pan: Wendy's Daughter (The Pan Series)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD\nPain was Joe Grim’s self-expression, his livelihood and reason for being. 
A superstar boxer who rarely won a fight, Grim distinguished himself for his extraordinary ability to withstand physical punishment. 
In this wild and expansive novel, Michael Winkler moves between the present day and Grim’s 1908–09 tour of Australia, bending genres and histories into a kaleidoscopic investigation of pain, masculinity, and narrative. 
Pain is often said to defy the limits of language. And yet Grimmish suggests that pain – physical and mental – is also the most familiar and universal human condition; and, perhaps, the secret source of our impulse to tell stories.\n“A powerful blast of literary ingenuity and originality.” – Lloyd Jones, author of Mister Pip 
"Grimmish meets a need I didn't even know I had. I lurched between bursts of wild laughter, shudders of horror, and gasps of awe at Winkler’s verbal command: the freshness and muscle of his verbs, the unstoppable flow of his images, the bizarre wit of the language of pugilism—and all the while, a moving subterranean glint of strange masculine tenderness." – Helen Garner\n‍“All the makings of a cult classic. It’s grotesque and gorgeous, smart and searching.” – Beejay Silcox, The Guardian

The Image of Language: An Artist's Memoir

Michael Winkler never had any plans to become an artist. On a rainy Seattle night in December of 1980, he discovered, by accident, that there are inexplicably meaningful patterns encoded in the signs for words. The relationship between the meaning of words and the patterns they create was so fascinating that he explored it all night. 
The next morning, a chance encounter with a curator resulted in an offer to present the 'word-images' in a solo exhibition. Michael Winkler has now explored the imagery and implications of the patterning hidden in the signs of language for over 40 years. There has been support for his work, but it has also faced obstacles. It directly challenges a foundation of linguistics that underlies contemporary ideas about culture. 
In this memoir, he tells the story of the discovery, and talks about the works created to explore its imagery and implications. He discusses his project's relationship to: prehistoric markings, contemporary philosophy, mathematics, and new research into the signs of language. 
His text and images present a fascinating perspective on the nature of language, in the context of the career of a unique artist.
