Mark Twain moves from broad comedy to biting social satire in this literary classic.

Cracked on the head by a crowbar in nineteenth-century Connecticut, Hank Morgan wakes to find himself in King Arthur's England. After using his knoweldge of an upcoming solar eclipse to escape a death sentence, Hank must then navigate his way througha medieval world whose idyllic surface masks fear, injustice, and ignorance.

Considered by H. L. Mencken to be "the most bitter critic of American platitude and delusion...that ever lived," Twain enchants readers with a Camelot that strikes disturbingly contemporary notes in this acclaimed tour de force that encompasses both the pure joy of wild high jinks and deeply probing insights into the nature of man.

“No romantic novel ever written in America . . . is one half so beautiful as My #65533;ntonia.” —H. L. Mencken

Widely recognized as Willa Cather’s greatest novel, My #65533;ntonia is a soulful and rich portrait of a pioneer woman’s simple yet heroic life. The spirited daughter of Bohemian immigrants, #65533;ntonia must adapt to a hard existence on the desolate prairies of the Midwest. Enduring childhood poverty, teenage seduction, and family tragedy, she eventually becomes a wife and mother on a Nebraska farm. A fictional record of how women helped forge the communities that formed a nation, My #65533;ntonia is also a hauntingly eloquent celebration of the strength, courage, and spirit of America’s early pioneers.

Gordon Tapper is Assistant Professor of English at DePauw University. He is the author of The Machine That Sings: Modernism, Hart Crane, and the Culture of the Body, from Routledge.

For fans of Old Yeller and Shiloh, Where the Red Fern Grows is a beloved classic that captures the powerful bond between man and man's best friend.
 
   Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two, dogs. So when he's finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own--Old Dan and Little Ann--he's ecstatic. It doesn't matter that times are tough; together they'll roam the hills of the Ozarks.
   Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan's brawn, Little Ann's brains, and Billy's sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters--now friends--and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair, and that the seeds of the future can come from the scars of the past.

Sarah, Plain and Tall

Natalie Savage Carlson

This is the delightfully warm and enjoyable story of an old Parisian named Armand, who relished his solitary life. Children, he said, were like starlings, and one was better off without them. But the children who lived under the bridge recognized a true friend when they met one, even if the friend seemed a trifle unwilling at the start. And it did not take Armand very long to realize that he had gotten himself ready-made family; one that he loved with all his heart, and one for whom he would have to find a better home than the bridge. Armand and the children's adventures around Paris -- complete with gypsies and a Santa Claus -- make a story which children will treasure.

James Matthew Barrie

When J. M. Barrie was six, his fourteen-year-old brother David died in a skating accident. His distraught mother took comfort in the thought that by dying young, David would, at least, always remain a boy. This may have been the germ of Peter Pan. The story of the boy who wouldn't grow up began as a play produced on December 27, 1904. A smashing success from the first, it has remained a holiday staple in England ever since. Barrie expanded the story in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), and novelized the play as Peter and Wendy (1911). Both of these works, along with a later short story, are included here, making this the most complete edition available of the Peter Pan saga. Like the best children's literature, Peter Pan has an edge to it; certainly, Peter's namesake is one of the edgier Greek gods. An analogy with Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland may be instructive: Both authors had trouble with adult relationships and interacted best with children, and both created complex child characters who survive adult-sized trials. And both Alice and Peter will live forever.
