When Princess Penelope is born, she suffers from a disability that confines to her bed. As she grows, she wishes she could run and play in the meadow just like all of the other children she sees outside of her window. One day, her wish comes true. A group of fairies has heard her pleas, and with their magic, Princess Penelope becomes mobile. The fairies create the most beautiful chair with big wheels on each side and flowers all over. Penelope is so happy with her chair. It allows her to play outside and go to school. And, she uses her special chair to help others. A picture book for children, The Adventures of Princess Penelope communicates the message that to be unique is the perfect way to be.
Penelope wants to go to work just like her family does. But what's a good job for a cuddly little dog? When the lovable Boston terrier sets out to explore different careers, none of them seem to be the right fit. Then one happy day, while visiting Grandpop's retirement home, Penelope finds her true calling.
“Slow and steady wins the case” as a dedicated London policeman puzzles through a fatal fall, a financial mystery, and an eccentric family’s many secrets (Kirkus Reviews). Miss Penelope Blow’s fatal fall from her bedroom window would seem like a tragic accident, if it weren’t for Penelope’s multiple visits to Scotland Yard before her death, trying to get in touch with Inspector Littlejohn. Now, before he ever had a chance to talk to the woman, he’s driven to look deeper into a case that may very well be murder—with no cooperation from Penelope’s wealthy, secretive, and thoroughly odd family . . . “As is often the case in Bellairs’ novels, his prose is often very wryly amusing. . . . One of his most readable tales, offering an interesting mix of characters and a satisfying puzzle to solve.” —Mysteries Ahoy

1926- Edinburgh, Scotland: Penelope Collins and her father are the only ones who remember the folk and fairy tales of the world. Lonely Penelope's life changes for adventure after a vindictive teacher expels her for telling the tales she knows. An enchanted fox appears that night to tell her a wondrous truth: her mother is alive, and creates the tales forgotten by the world on a hidden isle just across the sea, but her mother's in danger. Like Prometheus bringing fire to earth, Penelope must travel to the Isle and bring the tales she loves back to the Realm of Men. Terrors lurk at each encounter with the fairy and folk tale inhabitants of the isle. None of whom are left the way Penelope remembers. A rogue sprite follows her journey and photographs her quest to find the Hob King, the cursed leader of the hobs, who kidnapped her mother. Now it's up to quiet, lonely Penelope to save her mother, save the stories, and save the world from looming destruction. The Story Weaver Chronicles: Penelope and the Hob King combines the ancient myths of Mesopotamia and the fairy tales of Northern Europe. It is illustrated with over 40 beautiful photos and is the first in a photographic trilogy.
