Walker, Carole.
A Saviour of Living Cargoes: the Life and Work of Caroline Chisholm
(Wolds Publishing, first UK edition, 2010).
Caroline Chisholm's philanthropic work was of lasting benefit to British emigrants and colonies - to Australia in particular. In New South Wales, she found shelter and employment for female immigrants and pressed officials to adopt her schemes for settling families on the land. In London, she arranged free passages for emancipists' wives and children and encouraged families to emigrate to Australia. In Victorian goldfields, she provided accommodation for the needy traveller. Tireless and resourceful, she cared little for personal reward or position; and by her own endeavours and careful persuasion, she demonstrated her faith in people, the strength of womanhood, and the need to protect the vulnerable and help working people and their families. This biography casts new light on her life and achievements. Paperback. Brand new, mint condition. xvi + 239pp. Order No. NSBK-C14738

Mpata, Agnes and Thabit, Issa.
Wie die Tiere ihre Farbe Bekamen:
(Brockhaus Stgt, 2011).
Der stolze König Löwe hat einen Sohn bekommen. Und deshalb lädt er alle Tiere zu einem grossen Fest ein. Die Freude ist riesig, nur - wie putzt man sich am festlichsten heraus für diesen Anlass? Lange überlegen die Tiere, wälzen Ideen hin und her. Dann hat der kleine Leopard einen genialen Einfal - sich gegenseitig farbig anzumalen! Begeistert machen sie sich an die Arbeit. Ziemlich turbulent geht es dabei zu, und für manche Tiere kommt es ganz anders als geplant. Wir erfahren, wie der Pavian zu seinem roten Hinterteil kam und wieso der Esel seitdem bei den Menschen lebt. Hardback. Very good. pp. Order No. NSBK-A16077
Keywords: 9783871030369, Africa, African, Tansania, Tanzania, children's stories, childhood
