Books with title Kia the Queen

This is the timeless folktale of a young prince who undoes the terrible spell on a castle by accomplishing three impossible tasks with the help of some small creatures he saved from cruelty. The lean narrative moves quickly to its satisfying conclusion and preserves just the essentials to keep a child's attention and interest. Iassen Ghiuselev is a master draughtsman who meticulously executes every nuance of the situation, costumes, and characters. His settings, in the old world beauty of the Renaissance, carry a bearing and weight in sharp contrast to the pastel-pretty designs of other illustrated fairy tales. The rich tapestry colors and lavish attention to detail create an atmospheric mystery and enrich the story with a magic of their own.

Cats, cats and more cats, they are everywhere. But where is the cat that will be queen of the temple? The one with the goddess within her must be found and many people are out looking. Mew-sheri's sisters have told her that even a child can find the Queen Cat, so Mew-sheri is searching harder than anyone. This story about Mew-sheri's determination to find the Queen Cat is perfect for reading aloud or for reading alone.

Excerpt: ...up that day. Next morning, however, all were out bright and early to help him do so. The snow-flakes had been there before, however, and one unfortunate had stepped on a treacherous fork, and was caught. Having arranged two more ice-boxes and letter traps, for which the pieces had been cut yesterday, they all gathered around Tug to watch him set his first twitch-up. Pg 136 With one of the tent spikes he dug a slanting hole in the ice, into which he inserted one end of his hickory splint, which was about four feet long, fastening it firmly by ramming ice and snow down into the hole beside it, which would quickly freeze solid. A short distance from the foot of the splint he then laid down a short board, which was braced at the foot (or end farthest from the splint) against the side of a trough cut in the ice. The remaining three sides of the board were then fenced in by small blocks of ice. Next, taking from his pocket a cord made by twisting two horse-hairs together, he slipped one end through a loop in the other, thus making a noose, and tied it to the top of the hickory splint. This done, he bent down the splint until he hooked its tip under the nearest end, or head, of the board, which was raised a couple of inches from the ground. Spreading the noose carefully out upon the board, he sprinkled within a particularly nice lot of crumbs, then laid a little train away from the foot of the board as a leader, and the snare was ready. The weight of the bird treading upon the board to get the bait would press it down enough to let the lightly caught whip end of the splint spring up: this would pull the noose with a sudden movement, and the bird would find itself dangling in the air by the legs or a wing, or possibly by the neck. Pg 137 Removing their captive, and resetting the square trap, the whole party went out of sight to await further results. Yesterday they had captured thirteen birds in all, and had eaten only nine. With three more traps, they...

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German folklorists who lived in the 18th-19th centuries. They are mostly famous for collecting and publishing fairy tales. Nowadays it's hard to find a person who hasn't heard of Cinderella, Rapunzel, or Snow White! Once upon a time there lived a king who had three sons. The two elder sons were brave and smart, so they travelled the world to seek fortune until they indulged in an idle way of living. Then the third son, who was neither as smart nor as brave, decided to find them. When he did they laughed at him, but ultimately they all decided to travel together. They three brothers had a lot of adventures, and according to their moral choices they got punished or rewarded.
