Looking cups mice demonstrated the same author also wrote stories for children based on the characters. Jane?

Author is Jane? can not remember his name. My British friend gave me several of his books and I know there are also tea cups to collect based on his history. Does anyone know?

Mary Jane begin? she does the wind in the willows, I think. I googled but i cannot find anything.

Disney’s American Legends: Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Johnny Appleseed, The Brave Engineer [VHS] $14.99 American history and pioneer mythology blur in this collection of animated Disney shorts hosted by James Earl Jones. From Disney’s Golden Age come the marvelous Johnny Appleseed (1948), a fanciful, folksy, story-song tale of the real-life planter who seeded the Midwest, and The Brave Engineer (1950), a screwball version of “The Ballad of Casey Jones.” Paul Bunyan (1958) is pure tall tale turn…

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too [VHS] $12.98 This third installment of the Disney Pooh series, first released in 1974, is perhaps the liveliest, in part because the hyperactively bouncy stuffed tiger of the title seems tailor-made for animation. The story line, in which Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and company have to come to terms with the disruptive new presence in the Hundred Acre Wood, could almost be described as morally uplifting. And the ch…

Jack and the Beanstalk – The Real Story [VHS] $4.25 This ambitious miniseries begins with Jack’s descendant (Matthew Modine) and works its way backward to the story of the original young man and the beanstalk.

Fortunat…

Moral Disorder $4.16 A moving new book of fiction which could be seen as a collection of eleven stories that is almost a novel or a novel broken up into eleven interrelated stories. It resembles a photograph album – a series of clearly observed moments that trace the course of a life, and also of the other lives intertwined with it – those of parents, of siblings, of children, of friends, of enemies, of teachers and even of animals. As in a photograph album, times change, and every decade is here, from the 1930s through the 50s, 60s and 70s to the present day. The stories follow the central character through large cities, suburbs, farms and northern forests, and through the cycle of childhood and adolescence into adulthood. By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood’s celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. As The New York Times says, the reader has the sense that Atwood has complete access to her people’s emotional histories, complete understanding of their hearts and imaginations.
