A
Girl of the Limberlost
By
Gene Stratton Porter
Description: Along the old Limberlost
trail, my girl, torn to pieces sobbing.
Her courage always has been fine, but
the thing she met to-day was too much
for her. We ought to have known better
than to let her go that way. It wasn't
only clothes; there were books, and entrance
fees for out-of- town people, that she
didn't know about; while there must have
been jeers, whispers, and laughing.

Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn
Author:
Mark Twain
Description:
Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope,
alive with the poetry and vigor of the
American people, Mark Twain's story about
a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi
was the first great novel to speak in
a truly American voice. Influencing subsequent
generations of writers -- from Sherwood
Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian,
T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and
William Faulkner to J.D. Salinger -- "Huckleberry
Finn," like the river which flows
through its pages, is one of the great
sources which nourished and still nourishes
the literature of America.

Adventures
of Mr Mocker
Author:
Thornton W. Burgess
Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
Sammy Jay brushed and smoothed out his
handsome blue coat and made himself as
pert and smart-appearing as possible.
He had been so worried lately that he
hadn't taken much care of himself, which
is very unusual for Sammy Jay. Now, however,
he felt so much better that he began to
think about his looks. When he had finished
dressing, he started for the alders beside
the Laughing Brook just to have a look
around. Of course he didn't expect to
find his voice down there, for who ever
saw a voice? Still he thought that he
might find something that would explain
the mystery.

Aesop
and Hyssop
Description: Aesop's Fables or Aesopica
refers to a collection of fables credited
to Aesop (620–560 BC), a slave and
story-teller who lived in Ancient Greece.
Aesop's Fables have become a blanket term
for collections of brief fables, usually
involving personified animals. The fables
remain a popular choice for moral education
of children today. Many stories included
in Aesop's Fables, such as The Fox and the
Grapes (from which the idiom "sour
grapes" was derived), The Tortoise
and the Hare, The North Wind and the Sun
and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, are well-known
throughout the world. |

Author: v. S. Vernon jones
With
an introduction by G. K. Chesterton
And
illustrations by Arthur Rackham
1912
edition:
Description:
Aesop embodies an epigram not uncommon in
human history; his fame is all the more
deserved because he never deserved it. The
firm foundations of common sense, the shrewd
shots at uncommon sense, that characterise
all the Fables, belong not him but to humanity.
In the earliest human history whatever is
authentic is universal: and whatever is
universal is anonymous. In such cases there
is always some central man who had first
the trouble of collecting them, and afterwards
the fame of creating them.
