Peggy’s party was a quiet affair. Most of her friends had gone down with Whooping Cough and couldn’t make it. So she, Mum and nanny held a very little, private party, which was in some ways better than the manic affair they had last year with all her friends running riot. After all the tidying up was done, one cracker remained un-pulled. Mum and nanny both said it was Peggy’s special birthday treat. She took it and rattled it and shook it and tried guessing what it was. Nanny was becoming exasperated and said “Oh for heaven’s sake, just open it will you!” Peggy gave the cracker an almighty pull and out flew the toy, right across the room and under the cupboard. Peggy dashed across the room and squeezed as far under the cupboard as he could. She saw it was a bright, shiny sparkly ring and she squealed with delight. “Come on out you come,” said nanny dragging her out by the ankles. “Oh what a mess you are,” fluffed nanny as she dusted off the cobwebs with a paper napkin. The ring was bright and golden and had a big emerald green stone set into it. She tried it on all her fingers but it would only fit her thumb. She slipped it on and arms raised, playfully cried out “I wish I were all grown up!” “I’m ready whenever you are,” said a deep voice behind her. Peggy screamed and turned round quickly, and then nearly jumped out of her skin with astonishment. For behind her, on the other side of the table, stood a Giant! What happened next you ask? Well, you’ll just have to download this book and join Peggy and her Giant on their many adventures. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Peggy, Giant, Fairy tale, Nannie, nanny, Mother, Mayor, lovely, suddenly, turn, Fairy, green, nursery, door, Noah, tea, party, fun, mothers with children, expectant mothers, pregnant women, bedtime story, parents, adventure, childrens story, fable, brown, flew, fly, exciting, yellow, green, ring, wishes, Fairies, Dragon, Pixies, garden, sweets, thumb, village, shout, Mazing, maze, wings, sugar, sweet, frightened, picture, photo, afraid, cross, Ogres, wood, disappear

The annals of field primatology are filled with stories about charismatic animals native to some of the most challenging and remote areas on earth. There are, for example, the chimpanzees of Tanzania, whose social and family interactions Jane Goodall has studied for decades; the mountain gorillas of the Virungas, chronicled first by George Schaller and then later, more obsessively, by Dian Fossey; various species of monkeys (Indian langurs, Kenyan baboons, and Brazilian spider monkeys) studied by Sarah Hrdy, Shirley Strum, Robert Sapolsky, Barbara Smuts, and Karen Strier; and finally the orangutans of the Bornean woodlands, whom Biruté Galdikas has observed passionately. Humans are, after all, storytelling apes. The narrative urge is encoded in our DNA, along with large brains, nimble fingers, and color vision, traits we share with lemurs, monkeys, and apes. In Storytelling Apes, Mary Sanders Pollock traces the development and evolution of primatology field narratives while reflecting upon the development of the discipline and the changing conditions within natural primate habitat. Like almost every other field primatologist who followed her, Jane Goodall recognized the individuality of her study animals: defying formal scientific protocols, she named her chimpanzee subjects instead of numbering them, thereby establishing a trend. For Goodall, Fossey, Sapolsky, and numerous other scientists whose works are discussed in Storytelling Apes, free-living primates became fully realized characters in romances, tragedies, comedies, and never-ending soap operas. With this work, Pollock shows readers with a humanist perspective that science writing can have remarkable literary value, encourages scientists to share their passions with the general public, and inspires the conservation community.

Welcome to the 12th issue of The Travel Club! A whole year has passed since the pandemic first hit, a year that seems to have gone in a flash while at the same time dragging on forever. The Travel Club was launched in May 2020, back during the early days of the first lockdown. As guidebook sales slumped, we knew that our survival lay in the support of our readers, a community of dedicated travellers. Your support surpassed anything we could have imagined, and that is something for which we will always be grateful. But The Travel Club was never a charitable endeavour. We wanted to create something that offered genuine and long-term value to its members, something that would become a much-loved, essential resource for those who are serious about travel. I hope you feel we’ve succeeded. The e-zine has gone from strength to strength each month, withstories and contributions from far and wide – just take a look at this bumper issue! – and we’ve continued to build the list of exclusive membership benefits and discounts too (many of which will come in handy as the world begins to open up). Of course, if you’ve any feedback or suggestions of ways in which we could improve things further, or you’d be interested in contributing yourself, please do drop us a line at [email protected]. We want to do the very best we can and – when we start exploring the world again – to do so hand in hand with all those who were with us during the dark times.
