The Boy who Fell Off the Mayflower, Or, John Howland's Good Fortune

Once upon a time a great White Bear tapped on the window pane of a poor man's cottage and offered to make him as rich as he was then poor, if he would only give him the youngest and most beautiful of his daughters. So begins this most romantic fairy tale, in which the four winds themselves play a part. It is an epic story of a bewitched prince and the determined girl who loves him; a tale of rags and riches, hags and heroism, magic and mystery, a curse and a quest, wicked trolls and some of the longest noses vou will ever have seen

Because Grandad has explained how all things in the natural world pray and make a gift to the beauty of life, his grandson is comforted when Grandad dies.

Grandad's Prayers of the Earth

In famed author-illustrator P.J. Lynch's gorgeous tale, he creates two worlds-underwater and above-to tell an epic and haunting love story. Jacob and his father are the only people who fish Lake Spetzia, which was formed when the river was dammed and their town was flooded. The villagers say the lake is haunted, but Jacob and his father don't want to leave, because Jacob's mother is buried in the cemetery below the water. As Jacob grows up, a village girl named Ellen falls in love with him, and he with her. But before they are married, Jacob disappears-lured underwater by the ghosts who inhabit the sunken village. Years go by, with Jacob held captive by the watery spirits and Ellen never giving up hope that she will find him, until a fateful night when Jacob sees the light of Ellen's boat floating above. Can he break free and reach the surface? Masterful illustrations alive with achingly expressive characters and eerie underwater light bring readers into acclaimed creator P.J. Lynch's rich world of love, loss, and hope.
