Valikus on üle kolmekümne eesti muinasjutu inglise keeles: „Ahne hunt”, „Kuuneitsi”, „Laulev puu”, „Söepuder”, „Taevane tare”, „Ussinaine” ja palju teisi. Raamatus on ära toodud ka muinasjuttudes olevate laulude noodid. Muinasjutul ei ole sünnipaika. On inimese meel, kuhu ta pesa on teinud, kus ta haub ja nukkub, et oleks jõudu edasi minna. Ta võiks elada igavesti, rännates ühe inimese juurest teise juurde, ühe keele juurest teise juurde, ühe rahva juurest teise juurde. Muinasjutt on see, mida me iga päev oleme ja elame, aga mida me ei saa teisti väljendada kui jutustades ja vestes. Olgu õnnistatud igaüks, kes paotab raudust, et lasta sisse muinasjutt. Olgu õnnistatud igaüks, kes paotab raudust, et lubada muinasjutt tema rännakule.

A fairy tale has no birthplace. There is only the mind of the person in whom it has nested, where it roosts and metamorphoses to gain the strength to carry on. It can achieve immortality by wandering from one person to another, from one language to another, from one nation to another. A fairy tale is what we are and what we experience every day but can only express through speaking and storytelling. May all who push open the iron door to let a fairy tale enter find fortune. May all who push open the iron door let a fairy tale venture onward find fortune. This collection contains over thirty Estonian fairy tales in English: “The Greedy Wolf”, “The Moon Maiden”, “The Singing Tree”, “Coal Porridge”, “The Hut in the Heavens”, “The Snake’s Wife” and many more. It also includes the music for songs sung in the stories.

“From Estonia with love” on pilguheit Eesti aja- ja kultuuriloosse, loodusesse ja eestlase meelelaadi. Ingliskeelsed jutud ja lummavalt kaunid loodusfotod toovad põhjamaise väikse maa, mis on seestpoolt kordades suurem, kui väljastpoolt paistab, külalisele lähemale. Ja loodetavasti panevad teda ka armastama. Vähemasti nii on raamatu autorid seda mõelnud. Ikka – armastusega Eestist. Raamat on inglise keeles.

This book explores how Estonia, despite high levels of poverty, has transformed its education system to become Europe's top performer on PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment). The engaging narrative uncovers reforms, mistakes and lessons learnt that have been harnessed to create a high-performing, high-equity education system, which includes social and education policies fostering equity, inclusion, learner autonomy, as well as schoolteacher and principal professionalism, autonomy and responsibility. It unearths how easy access to a wide range of data such as perceptions of well-being, autonomy and connectedness, in addition to examination results, builds internal and external accountability, and contributes to collective stakeholder efficacy. Grounded in research from Estonia and beyond, this is an ideal read for educators, administrators, academics, university students, change agents and parents interested in school system improvement. As equity, equality and inclusion are core drivers of the Estonian education system, this book would also be of interest to those working in social justice, inclusion and diversity.

Fifty summers of music - during which the tradition of classical music festivals has grown and evolved in Pärnu - is a significant milestone. Pärnu has earned its spot among international music towns. It has been a long road with countless twists and turns, many travellers, a journey through inconstant times and circumstances. The travellers on this journey have shared a common goal - to bring good music to Pärnu, offer experiences, and tug at each listener's heartstrings. This booklet is only a brief overview, but I do hope to see thorough tractates from musicologists in the future. The programmes, performers, and organisers of Pärnu's summer festivals of classical music are worth it. The journey, which started half a century ago, continues. Ela Tomson, complier

“Every woman is born with a palette of healthy archetypes – The Girl, The Lover, The Chatelaine, and the Queen. Balance in this ancient code of womanhood brings along a balanced and wholesome life. Unfortunately, women often fall from the healthy archetypes to their shadow forms possessing either too much or too little of that particular energy. Archetypes and the shadow archetypes are like angels and demons of the female psyche. I wrote „The Art of Being a Woman” in hope that by acknowledging the shadows and expressing the healthy archetypes women can look at themselves from a new perspective and change their lives for better.

This book is an excellent description of the journey of human development, based on the author’s personal experiences. It’s easy to theorize that true growth begins when you’ve lost everything that you’ve built over your lifetime, but it’s a whole other thing to actually experience it and live to tell the story. Tiit Trofimov has done that with disarming honesty and humor, giving us an uncensored account of one man’s winding path to living as his true self. This type of developmental transformation usually begins after age 35, if at all. Many people don’t dare to step on the deeper path, opting instead to attempt to rebuild some semblance of their former life. If you choose to begin the inner journey, you’ll soon discover that nothing remains the same. Your world becomes multidimensional, your previous patterns more transparent and your being more authentic. You’ll begin to accept the world and yourself as you truly are and your actions are no longer driven by the narrow material needs of your ego. Your existence takes on a deeper meaning. This is the beginning of a whole new life. The End is the Beginning shows us that midlife transformation is not only possible, but essential – as crucial a threshold of life as coming of age. Thank you, Tiit, for sharing your journey! – Alar Tamming Transpersonal Psychologist & Vice President of Estonian Transpersonal Association
