Garth Williams

    Garth Williams sa navždy zapíše do pamäti ako ilustrátor, ktorý dal podobu najrôznejším detským postavám. Jeho umelecká ruka oživila nezabudnuteľnú myšku Stuarta Littlea, láskavého pavúka Charlotte, jej priateľa Wilbura a mnohé ďalšie zvieratá, rozprávkové bytosti aj deti. Williams sa okrem ilustrácií venoval aj písaniu vlastných kníh pre deti, ale práve jeho jedinečný výtvarný štýl a schopnosť vtisnúť postavám osobitosť ho preslávili najviac. Jeho dielo tiež poukázalo na dôležitosť umenia v diskusii o spoločenských otázkach.

      Focusing on the U.S. military's development of special aircraft types during World War II, including many experimental aircraft and one-off secret projects, this book shows how U.S. aviation designs and weapons progressed under the pressure of global warfare. From the state-of-the-art aircraft at the beginning of the war, to the advances during the conflict, each special type is covered in detail: armed photo reconnaissance, catapult launched seaplanes, naval floatplanes, autogyros, and special-operations armed drones. Often described as less glamorous than fighters and bombers, these special types of WWII combat aircraft offer a unique contribution to military aviation and aeronautical advancement.

    • Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. The Cricket in Times Square is a 1961 Newbery Honor Book.
