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:

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.
