In 'Lafcadio' van Shel Silverstein wil een jonge leeuw vrienden worden met een jager - maar als dat mislukt, eet hij hem op en leert zelf schieten.

Op speelse wijze zet 'Lafcadio' kinderen en volwassenen aan het denken: kun je veranderen zonder jezelf te verliezen? En wat als je nergens meer thuis bent?

Songs of Ireland

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Songs of Ireland is an album by the Brobdingnagian Bards released on Saint Patrick''s Day in 2002. Unlike the band''s previous albums which featured songs of various Celtic origins, this album is a compilation of almost entirely Irish songs. "The Unicorn Song" is a version of the poem by Shel Silverstein, recorded by The Irish Rovers in 1968. The Bards, however, added a final verse to the song, providing an alternate, happy ending to the tale of the extinction of unicorns. The Brobdingnagian Bards were a Celtic music group from Austin, Texas, USA. Marc Gunn, formerly of Austin Texas'' alternative rock bands Skander and Breastfed, released a solo album (Geography) featuring himself on autoharp and Andrew McKee on recorder in 1998. This initial collaboration lead to the official formation of the Brobdingnagian Bards in 1999.

A Boy Named Sue

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. "A Boy Named Sue" is a country song, written by Shel Silverstein and sung by Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash was at the height of his popularity when he recorded this song live at San Quentin State Prison in California. The concert was recorded for broadcast by Granada Television on February 24, 1969 and for the Johnny Cash At San Quentin album. Cash also performed the song (with comical variations on the original performance) in December, 1969, in concert at Madison Square Garden. The song became Cash's biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, spending three weeks at #2 in 1969; it also topped the country music and adult contemporary charts that same year. The song tells the preposterous, yet moving, tale of a young man's quest for revenge on an absent father, whose only contribution to his entire life was naming him Sue, commonly a feminine name, which regularly resulted in the young man suffering from ridicule and bullying.
