Magic Tree House book number thirteen, titled "Vacation Under the Volcano", is an exciting and educational adventure for young readers. Written by Mary Pope Osborne, this book follows the journey of siblings Jack and Annie as they travel back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, just days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. In this installment of the popular series, Jack and Annie are sent on a mission by the magical librarian Morgan le Fay to find a special kind of writing called "True Books". Equipped with their trusty research book, the siblings must find four different books from different time periods and return them to the magic tree house. As they arrive in ancient Pompeii, Jack and Annie are amazed by the bustling city and its unique customs. They meet a young girl named Celia who becomes their guide and helps them navigate through the city.

Her 1958 story The Planet Savers introduced the planet of Darkover, which became the setting of a popular series by Bradley and other authors. The Darkover milieu may be considered as either fantasy with science fiction overtones or as science fiction with fantasy overtones, as Darkover is a lost earth colony where psi powers developed to an unusual degree. Bradley wrote many Darkover novels by herself, but in her later years collaborated with other authors for publication; her literary collaborators have continued the series since her death.

Coleção As Brumas de Avalon [4 volumes] A Senhora da Magia, A Grande Rainha, O Gamo-Rei e O Prisioneiro da Árvore são os quatro volumes que compõem As Brumas de Avalon - a grande obra de Marion Zimmer Bradley -, que reconta a lenda do rei Artur através da perspectiva de suas heroínas. Guinevere se casou com Artur por determinação do pai, mas era apaixonada por Lancelote. Ela não conseguiu dar um filho e herdeiro para o marido, o que gera sérias conseqüências políticas para o reino de Camelot. Sua dedicação ao cristianismo acaba colocando Artur, e com ele toda a Bretanha, sob a influência dos padres cristãos, apesar de ser juramento de respeitar a velha religião de Avalon. Além da mãe de Artur, Igraine e de Viviane, a Senhora do Lago que é a Grande Sacerdotisa de Avalon, uma outra mulher é fundamental na Morgana, a irmã de Artur. Ela é vibrante, ardente em seus amores e em suas fidelidades, e polariza a história com Guinevere, constituindo-se em a sua grande rival. Sendo uma sacerdotisa de Avalon, ela tem a Visão, o que a transforma em uma mulher atormentada. Trata-se, acima de tudo, da história do conflito entre o cristianismo, representado por Guinevere, e da velha religião de Avalon, representada por Morgana. Ao acompanhar a evolução da história de Guinevere e de Morgana, assim como dos numerosos personagens que as cercam, acompanhamos também o destino das terras que mais tarde seriam conhecidas como Grã-Bretanha. As Brumas de Avalon evoca uma Bretanha que é ao mesmo tempo real e lendária - desde as suas desesperadas guerras pela sobrevivência contra a invasão saxônica até as tragédias que acompanham Artur até a sua morte e o fim da influência mítica por ele representada. Igraine, Viviane, Guinevere e Morgana revelam através da história de suas vidas e sentimentos a lenda do rei Artur, como se ela fosse nova e original.

About the author

Marion Zimmer Bradley

Marion Eleanor Zimmer Bradley was an American author of fantasy novels such as The Mists of Avalon and the Darkover series, often with a feminist outlook.

Bradley's first published novel-length work was Falcons of Narabedla, first published in the May 1957 issue of Other Worlds. When she was a child, Bradley stated that she enjoyed reading adventure fantasy authors such as Henry Kuttner, Edmond Hamilton, and Leigh Brackett, especially when they wrote about "the glint of strange suns on worlds that never were and never would be." Her first novel and much of her subsequent work show their influence strongly.

Early in her career, writing as Morgan Ives, Miriam Gardner, John Dexter, and Lee Chapman, Marion Zimmer Bradley produced several works outside the speculative fiction genre, including some gay and lesbian pulp fiction novels. For example, I Am a Lesbian was published in 1962. Though relatively tame by today's standards, they were considered pornographic when published, and for a long time she refused to disclose the titles she wrote under these pseudonyms.

Her 1958 story The Planet Savers introduced the planet of Darkover, which became the setting of a popular series by Bradley and other authors. The Darkover milieu may be considered as either fantasy with science fiction overtones or as science fiction with fantasy overtones, as Darkover is a lost earth colony where psi powers developed to an unusual degree. Bradley wrote many Darkover novels by herself, but in her later years collaborated with other authors for publication; her literary collaborators have continued the series since her death.

Bradley took an active role in science-fiction and fantasy fandom, promoting interaction with professional authors and publishers and making several important contributions to the subculture.

For many years, Bradley actively encouraged Darkover fan fiction and reprinted some of it in commercial Darkover anthologies, continuing to encourage submissions from unpublished authors, but this ended after a dispute with a fan over an unpublished Darkover novel of Bradley's that had similarities to some of the fan's stories. As a result, the novel remained unpublished, and Bradley demanded the cessation of all Darkover fan fiction.

Bradley was also the editor of the long-running Sword and Sorceress anthology series, which encouraged submissions of fantasy stories featuring original and non-traditional heroines from young and upcoming authors. Although she particularly encouraged young female authors, she was not averse to including male authors in her anthologies. Mercedes Lackey was just one of many authors who first appeared in the anthologies. She also maintained a large family of writers at her home in Berkeley. Ms Bradley was editing the final Sword and Sorceress manuscript up until the week of her death in September of 1999.

Probably her most famous single novel is The Mists of Avalon. A retelling of the Camelot legend from the point of view of Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar, it grew into a series of books; like the Darkover series, the later novels are written with or by other authors and have continued to appear after Bradley's death.

Her reputation has been posthumously marred by multiple accusations of child sexual abuse by her daughter Moira Greyland, and for allegedly assisting her second husband, convicted child abuser Walter Breen, in sexually abusing multiple unrelated children.

They must race against time to complete their mission and find the fourth True Book before the volcano erupts and the city is destroyed. Throughout "Vacation Under the Volcano", the main idea revolves around the importance of history and the power of knowledge. Jack and Annie learn valuable lessons about bravery, resilience, and the impact of historical events on the present day. Through the vivid descriptions and engaging plot, young readers are transported to ancient Rome and encouraged to explore the wonders of history. Overall, "Vacation Under the Volcano" is a captivating and educational read that combines adventure, history, and magic. It not only entertains young readers but also sparks their curiosity and encourages them to learn more about the past..
