Publisher's Summary:

As his parents shouting tears through the walls to the room where he is supposed to be sleeping, young Neil Waldman buries his face in his pillow and tries to swallow his tears.

Seeking refuge from a turbulent home life, Neil and his three siblings turn to the world of creativity. Their mothers book from an art museum in Russia is all the children need to set fire to their imaginations. And from there, drawing and painting become much more than pleasurable diversions - they become lifelines of hope that allow the youths to believe that there is lasting beauty in the world.

Members Reviews:

A spirited account of an artist's beginnings.

It was a well written account of the beginnings of a well known writer and illustrator, which also included numerous examples of not only his own work, but that of some of his family members!

love that Waldman

My sister found this book, what a wonderful read about the creative journey of a great mind. It inspired me and backs up the notion of doing all we can to build our kid's creative processes.

Portrait of the children's book author as a young man

If a person wanted to tell the story of their life in a biographical format, why would they choose to make their intended audience children rather than adults? Maybe the person in question would feel that children could better appreciate their life and accomplishments. Or maybe they're unsure of their writing skills and thought that kids rather than grown-ups would be easier to write for. Maybe they are of an artistic temperament and feel that if they spotted their book with beautiful glossy illustrations, kids would gravitate more readily to that aspect of the story. And maybe they've always seen their childhood, rather than adulthood, as the part of their life with the best narrative, and unless a biography has copious amounts of abuse in it, adults aren't going to be as interested as children. For artist Neil Waldman, his motivation for writing, "Out of the Shadows: An Artist's Journey" for children may have knowingly or unknowingly have their roots in all of these reasons. The book is lovingly put together, with fantastic pieces of arts spotting the text. It is not, perhaps, the first autobiography I would hand to children that need to read one for school, but it may contain some of the best explanations on how a person truly becomes an artist. It's flawed but worthy.

Neil Waldman was born in the Bronx, one of the first American-born children of his Russian/Galician immigrant relatives. At family gatherings, Neil would often have to face the inevitable question that began, "You are our family's first generations born in freedom. So what are you going to do with it? What are you going to be when you grow up?" A hard question for a child at any age, but early on little Neil hit upon what he wanted to be. An artist. When he found his mother's book of Vincent van Gogh paintings, Neil discovered a love that would last him his entire life.

Weihnachten steht vor der Tür - eigentlich doch wunderbare Aussichten. Aber nicht für Greg, dem ist das zu viel Druck. Schließlich muss man sich in der Vorweihnachtszeit immer extra gut benehmen. Besonders seit seine Mutter diese gruselige Puppe rausgeholt hat, die für den Weihnachtsmann spioniert, und die dauernd woanders hockt und Greg beobachtet... Zu allem Übel werden die Heffleys dann auch noch von einem Schneesturm überrascht und eingeschneit. So bleibt die Familie im Haus gefangen. Der Strom fällt aus, das Essen wird knapp, und alle gehen sich kräftig auf den Wecker... Stellt sich die Frage: Gibt es eine schlimmere Strafe, als mit der eigenen Familie eingesperrt zu sein? Da heißt es: Nerven behalten. Nur keine Panik!

Title: The Reluctant Dragon

Author: Kenneth Grahame

Narrator: Bobbie Frohman, full cast

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-04-13

Publisher: Alcazar AudioWorks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

When a dragon is discovered up on the Downs, the Boy is not in the least surprised. He's always known the cave there was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to be living in it. The Boy decides to pay a visit to the cave, and he thinks he knows just what to expect. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales!

The reluctant dragon is far more interested in writing and reading poetry than in belching fire to frighten and threaten the townspeople. The boy and the dragon have a wonderful time with St. George, the famous slayer of dragons, in a mock battle of ferocious, but harmless fun.

Kenneth Grahame (18591932) was a children's novelist and bank executive, with a long a successful career at the Bank of England. Grahame was born in Scotland, but after the death of his mother when he was five, went to live with his grandmother in a charming country village in Berkshire, England. Grahame and his siblings had an idyllic childhood; their surroundings inspired the setting for The Wind in the Willows. Grahame's writing career was inspired by the stories he told his beloved only child, who suffered poor health during his very short life.

It was good but not great

I enjoyed this story. Especially the Dragon and Saint George, but the boy was a bit whining more then I thought necessary. All in all though it is a classic story and I recommend it but for that one reason gave it 4 stars.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Lorsqu'une grande voix du XXème siècle vous lit un conte, il n'y a plus qu'à fermer les yeux et se laisser emporter par l'histoire : Cendrillon, Don Quichotte, Fanfan la Tulipe, La Belle au bois dormant...

Le narrateur

Sur le plan théâtral, sa rencontre avec Jean Vilar, fondateur du TNP Théâtre National Populaire, va se concrétiser avec l'adaptation du Cid en 1951, joué dans la cour du Palais des Papes d'Avignon. En France, le fameux festival de théâtre d'Avignon prend alors naissance. Sa vie de comédien lui permet d'être en permanence par monts et par vaux. Il se rend, entre autres, à New-York, Tokyo, Mexico, Rio, Pékin et effectue une tournée en Europe de l'Est. Au faîte de sa gloire, l'acteur génial et doté d'une aura incomparable, idole des années cinquante, s'éteint subitement, terrassé par un cancer du foie. Il allait avoir trente sept ans.
