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.

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.

Author:
Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898

Description:
A girl named Alice is bored while on a picnic with her
older sister, who is reading aloud. Alice takes interest
in a passing white rabbit that is dressed in a waistcoat
and muttering "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"
She follows the rabbit down a rabbit hole, then finds
herself falling down into a dreamlike world. As she continues
to try to follow the rabbit, she has several adventures.
She grows to gigantic size and then shrinks to a fraction
of her original height, meets a group of small animals
swimming in a sea of her own (previously shed) tears,
and gets trapped in the rabbit's house when she enlarges
herself again. After meeting the Duchess, she carries
away a baby which changes into a pig, then meets the Cheshire
cat, which disappears, leaving only its smile behind.
She joins the Mad Hatter and the March Hare at a never-ending
tea party, goes to the seashore and meets a Gryphon and
a Mock Turtle, and finally attends the trial of the Knave
of Hearts, who has been accused of stealing tarts. Just
as Alice defies the Queen of Hearts, the dream ends and
Alice wakes up at the picnic with her sister.
