- Un Grillo En Times Square: Revised and updated edition with a foreword by Stacey Lee
1
Una versión actualizada del clásico de todos los tiempos para niños, con un ratón hábil para los negocios, un tierno gato callejero y un talentoso grillo de campo, ahora con un prólogo y revisiones de la autora de literatura juvenil, Stacey Lee. Tucker es un ratón de ciudad con mucha calle. Pensó que lo había visto todo. Pero nunca ha visto a un grillo, lo cual no es ninguna sorpresa porque, junto con su amigo Harry Gato, Tucker vive en el corazón de la ciudad de Nueva York: la estación de metro de Times Square. Chester Grillo nunca pensó abandonar su pradera en Connecticut. Seguiría allí de no haber seguido el cautivador aroma de un embutido y acabar en la canasta de picnic de alguien. Ahora, como todo turista en la ciudad, quiere recorrer. Y no puede haber encontrado a dos mejores guías —y amigos— que Tucker y Harry. El trío vive muchas aventuras, desde disfrutar de las imágenes y los sonidos de Broadway hasta escapar de un humeante fuego. Chester también se hace amigo de alguien más. Es un niño, Mario, que lo rescata de un rincón empolvado de la estación de metro y lo lleva a vivir a la seguridad del quiosco de periódicos de sus padres. Al principio espera poder quedarse con Chester como mascota, pero Mario pronto se da cuenta de que el grillo es más que eso. Porque Chester tiene un talento oculto y nadie —ni siquiera el propio Chester— se da cuenta de que el pequeño grillo de campo tal vez sea capaz de enseñarles alguna que otra cosa hasta a los más duros neoyorquinos. Un grillo en Times Square es George Selden en su máxima expresión, y las nuevas ilustraciones que complementan el trabajo ilustrativo de Garth Williams hacen de esta una edición verdaderamente excepcional.
- The Cricket in Times Square: Revised and updated edition with foreword by Stacey Lee
1
An updated version of the timeless children's classic featuring a business-savvy mouse, a kind alley cat, and a talented country cricket, featuring a new foreword and revisions by YA author Stacey Lee. Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. The Cricket in Times Square is George Selden at his best, and the new illustrations and interior images by Garth Williams make this edition a special treat.
- Tucker's Countryside
2
Chester Cricket needs help. That's the message John Robin carries into the Times Square subway station where Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse live. Quickly, Chester's good friends set off on the long, hard journey to the Old Meadow, where all is not well. Houses are creeping closer. Bulldozers and construction are everywhere. It looks like Chester and his friends' home will be ruined and the children of the town won't have a place to play. Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse are used to the city life. Now in the country, they need to find a place to stay and good things to eat. And most of all they must think of a plan to help their friends.
George Selden
George Selden (1929-1989) was the author of A Cricket in Times Square, winner of the 1961 Newbery Honor and a timeless children's classic. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Selden received his B.A. from Yale, where he was a member of the Elizabethan Club and contributed to the literary magazine. He spent three summer sessions at Columbia University and, after college, studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship. People often asked Selden how he got the idea for The Cricket in Times Square. "One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station. The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently." The popular Cricket series grew to seven titles, including Tucker's Countryside and The Old Meadow. In 1973, The Cricket in Times Square was made into an animated film. Selden wrote more than fifteen books, as well as two plays. His storytelling blends the marvelous with the commonplace realities of life, and it was essential to him that his animal characters display true emotions and feelings.
