Left to right in the snap left: children's story, peace stuff, painting stuff and animal stuff.
The children's story was a nicely produced book which appeared to be a story about young monkeys, intended to help with counting, elementary sums or both. Plenty of nuts or fruits about which looked rather like acorns, but which were presumably not.
The book was entirely in foreign and did not look like either Japanese or Chinese to us, which made Korean a good bet, particularly as there is a large colony of them in New Malden. There is also a company which has bought space on the platform signage at Motspur Park, I thought oil services, but Google fails to reveal. Must check later today.
In the meantime, careful inspection of the book reveals, reference 1, also entirely in foreign. But Google's translate page option gets through to the 'Korea' word, even though most of what looks like text must be embedded graphics which the translate page option does not see.
Enthusiastic mission statement stuff, including: 'Through picture books, children learn the most basic rules and order necessary for human beings./ Especially in childhood, there is a characteristic that it is easy to be good or bad, so it needs careful attention./ YeoWon Media's picture storybooks are good friends who know the minds of these children, and sometimes they grow up together as excellent teachers./ We are still working today with the hopes that it will be a new alternative to the existing order based on marketing strategy that thinks novel planning, editing, and trust that deviates from the fixed point though it is not yet deeply in depth./ We are all born in the body, creating a positive relationship with the surrounding self. /So what is most needed to live in the world is confidence, and this positive confidence is determined in childhood./ What we need now is the wisdom and wisdom to look into the future of 20 years. Raise the value of a lifetime rather...'. Even allowing for the vagaries of machine translation not the sort of thing one would expect in an English book. Nevertheless, mostly sentiments that we can all sign up to.
Further news about peace, painting and animals in due course. More immediate problem is to decide what to do with the rather handsome monkey book. Keep it?
