Maravillosa O, La -Z
Una deliciosa aventura para niños y adultos Littlejack tiene un mapa del tesoro y el capitán pirata Black tiene un barco, el Aeiu, asà que lo más lógico es que se pongan de acuerdo para viajar a una isla remota en busca del tesoro. Al llegar allÃ, los intrépidos aventureros preguntan a los lugareños por el paradero del supuesto botÃn, pero no obtienen respuesta alguna. En venganza, Black, que odia la letra O, prohÃbe que los isleños usen esa vocal. La tacha de rótulos, carteles y libros. Como aun asà no le entregan el tesoro que busca, Black empieza a prohibir también todo aquello cuyo nombre contiene la letra O, como los caballos, las rosas o los yoyós. La isla, que se llama Ooroo, queda reducida a una simple «r», y algunos residentes, como el señor Otto Ott, tartamudean al intentar presentarse. Los isleños, liderados por el valiente poeta Andreus, se rebelan contra los piratas para recuperar la O. La aparición de un castillo mágico y un antiguo hechizo decidirán la contienda.

The author of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and the creator of numerous New Yorker magazine cover cartoons, was born in Columbus, Ohio on December, 8, 1894. One of the foremost American humorists of the 20th century, his inimitable wit and pithy prose spanned a breadth of genres, including short stories, modern commentary, fiction, children's fantasy and letters. Thurber's father, Charles, was a civil clerk, and his mother, Mame, was an eccentric woman who would influence many of her son's stories. Thurber had two brothers, William and Robert. One day while playing "William Tell" with them as youngsters, Thurber lost the sight in one eye when an arrow pierced it. Ultimately, he would go blind in both eyes, but that never stopped him from writing or drawing. Thurber CarnivalFrom 1913-1917, Thurber attended the Ohio State University where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. It was at this time that the Thurbers rented the house at 77 Jefferson Avenue, which became Thurber House in 1984. Due to his eye injury, Thurber was not able to complete a compulsory ROTC course so OSU would not let him graduate, although they did give him an honorary degree later. Thurber launched his professional writing career as a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch in 1920. He began writing for the New Yorker in 1927 after friend E.B. White (Charlotte's Web) got him a job at the magazine. Thurber started as an editor for the magazine but quickly became a writer. His career as a cartoonist began in 1930, when White dug some of Thurber's drawings out of the trash and submitted them to be published in the New Yorker. Thurber wrote nearly forty books and won a Tony Award for his popular Broadway play, A Thurber Carnival, in which he often starred as himself. Thurber died of complications from pneumonia on November 2, 1961. --Thurberhouse.org
