The author is an 80+ year old grandfather with six grandchildren. His 'family name' is Pom Pom. This came from the first attempt of the eldest grandchild to say 'Grandpa', and has stuck ever since. The youngest grandchild, Ruby, lives 300 miles or so from Pom Pom and Grannie. Because they do not see her all that frequently, one day Pom Pom thought it would be a good idea to send her a home-made card just as a way of keeping in touch. This was 'The Story of Ollie the Owl'. Ruby loved it and thought it great fun--as did her friends. So Pom Pom sent eleven more cards over a period of time, They all told stories about a variety of countryside animals who each have their special challenges, but manage to solve them in the end. Each has Pom Pom's painting of the animal and a poem to accompany the painting. Ruby hopes other children like them as much as she did.

Marcada por su temprana orfandad materna, la escritora británica Charlotte Brontë, que a lo largo de su corta vida acumuló muchos lutos, revela en su obra el apasionado deseo de encontrar un lugar en el mundo. Jane Eyre, la obra que consagró su éxito fulminante, tiene los ingredientes de una novela gótica, pero rebasa con mucho las convenciones del género. Cándido Pérez Gállego explica en la Introducción cómo Jane, la protagonista, es portavoz de un nuevo modo de descubrir la realidad, y su reflexión nos lleva a un viaje hacia la autenticidad. Al valor histórico –Charlotte Brontë logra un cuadro enormemente plástico de la sociedad británica de su época– se unen aquí el valor moral y el literario. Porque, en efecto, superando las técnicas tradicionales de los diálogos, una especie de «comentario mental» abre en Jane Eyre el camino que conducirá a Virginia Woolf. « Amable lector: ¡ojalá no sientas nunca lo que yo sentí entonces! ¡Ojalá no llores nunca las ardientes y tumultuosas lágrimas que yo lloré en aquella ocasión! ¡Ojalá no eleves nunca al cielo una plegaria tan desesperada y angustiosa como la que entonces brotó de mis labios! ¡Ojalá no te veas nunca en el caso de ser instrumento del dolor de aquel a quien amas, como me sucedía a mí!»
