Black
Beauty
Author:
Anna Sewell, Lisa R. Church
Illustrated by Lucy Corvino
Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
Following Sterling's spectacularly successful
launch of its children's classic novels (240,000
books in print to date), comes a dazzling new
series: " Classic Starts." The stories
are abridged; the quality is complete. "Classic
Starts" treats the world's beloved tales
(and children) with the respect they deserve--all
at an incomparable price. "Black Beauty
"is the classic horse story, a beautiful
and touching tale told by the title character
himself. Set in Victorian London, it follows
Beauty's life and changing fortunes as he moves
from owner to owner. As the horse encounters
new experiences and new friends who reveal their
own histories, the story quietly paints a fascinating
portrait of how animals were treated during
that era.

Blue
Beard
Description:
Bluebeard was a wealthy aristocrat, feared because
of his "frightfully ugly" blue beard.
He had been married three times, but no one
knew what had become of his wives. He was therefore
avoided by the local girls. When Bluebeard visited
one of his neighbours and asked to marry one
of her daughters, they were terrified, and each
tried to pass him on to the other. Eventually
he persuaded the younger daughter to marry him,
and after the ceremony she went to live with
him in his château.
Very
shortly after, however, Bluebeard announced
that he had to leave the country for a while;
he gave over all the keys of the chateau to
his new wife, including the key to one small
room that she was forbidden to enter. He then
went away and left the house in her hands. Almost
immediately she was overcome with the desire
to see what the forbidden room held, and finally
her visiting sister convinced her to satisfy
her curiosity and open the room.
However,
the wife immediately discovered the room's horrible
secret: Its floor reeked of blood, and the dead
bodies of her husband's former wives hung on
the walls. Horrified, she locked the door, but
blood had come onto the key which would not
wash off. Bluebeard returned unexpectedly and
immediately knew what his wife had done. In
a blind rage he threatened to behead her on
the spot, and so she locked herself in the highest
tower with her sister. While Bluebeard, sword
in hand, tried to break down the door, the sisters
waited for their two brothers to arrive. At
the last moment, as Bluebeard was about to deliver
the fatal blow, the brothers broke into the
castle, and as he attempted to flee, they killed
him.
He
left no heirs but his wife, who inherited all
his great fortune. She used part of it for a
dowry to marry her sister to the one that loved
her, another part for her brothers' captains
commissions, and the rest to marry a worthy
gentleman who made her forget her ill treatment
by Bluebeard.

Literature / Classics / Criticism
Description:
A wonderful change came over Mike Flynn. Until
he met Rodney he seemed quite destitute of ambition.
The ragged and dirty suit which he wore as bootblack
were the best he had. His face and hands generally
bore the marks of his business, and as long
as he made enough to buy three meals a day,
two taken at the Lodging House, with something
over for lodging, and an occasional visit to
a cheap theater, he was satisfied.

Author:
Charles Dickens
Language:
English
Description:
Charles Dickens, who was born in 1812, is considered
one of the greatest of English novelists. Certainly
he is the most popular. Not only did he have
an important place in nineteenth-century literature,
but he was also an outspoken and influential
critic of society. He wrote fifteen novels as
well as a number of stories and Christmas books.
In lots of these children were important characters.
In his day, no one understood children better
than Dickens, and he was the first writer to
describe what children thought and felt and
to capture the way they spoke. And he was not
afraid to write about the hard and sad lives
that many children led.
In the stories in this book, which have been
retold by Charles Dickens's granddaughter, Mary
Angela Dickens, you will meet some of the children
who appear in the works of Charles Dickens.
There is Oliver Twist, who had many misadventures
after he escaped from the terrible workhouse
where he was born, and David Copperfield, the
hero of Dickens's most popular novel, much of
which records his own experiences. Little Paul
Dombey is the young son of Dombey and Son, and
Amy is the heroine of Little Dorrit.
On these pages, you'll also make the acquaintance
of Tiny Tim, from A Christmas Carol, the fat
boy from The Pickwick Papers, Jenny Wren from
Our Mutual Friend, and the blind little toymaker
from The Cricket on the Hearth, and Little Nell
and the marchioness from The Old Curiosity Shop.
Howard Copping's wonderful paintings and drawings
bring Dickens's fascinating characters, both
young and old, to life.

Later my father married another woman who let
me see the difference between my own mother
and a step-mother. She did not seem to love
me and turned my father against me. Then my
father sent me to school to a Welshman, Mr.
Rico, who kept the free school in the town of
Lancaster. He was exceedingly cruel and dealt
unjustly with me. This discouraged me so about
school and lessons that I remember wishing often
times that I might take care of pigs.

Edithas
Burglar
Author:
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Illustrated by Henry Sandham
Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
1888. Burnett, began as a novelist, but she
is now best remembered for her children's books
including The Secret Garden and Sara Crewe (which
was later rewritten to become The Little Princess).
Her romance novels were also quite popular during
her lifetime. The story begins: I will begin
by saying that Editha was always rather a queer
little girl, and not much like other children.
She was not a strong, healthy little girl, and
had never been able to run about and play; and,
as she had no sisters, or brothers, or companions
of her own size, she was rather old-fashioned,
as her aunts used to call it. She had always
been very fond of books, and had learned to
read when she was such a tiny child, that I
should almost be afraid to say how tiny she
was when she read her first volume through.
Her papa wrote books himself, and was also the
editor of a newspaper; and, as he had a large
library, Editha perhaps read more than was quite
good for her. She lived in Long; and, as her
mamma was very young and pretty, and went out
a great deal, and her papa was so busy, and
her governess only came in the morning, she
was left to herself a good many hours in the
day, and when she was left to herself, she spent
the greater part of her time in the library
reading her papa's big books, and even his newspapers.

I might be a less clever woman than I am, and

tales they discovered are now brought together
with the marvelous pictures that in 1900 first
established the reputation of one of the greatest

Author:
John Thackray Bunce
Sociology
Description: To all these, and more, whom there
is no room to mention, we must add other dwellers
in Fairyland--forms, in one shape or other,
of the great Sun-myths of the ancient Aryan
race--such as Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table and Vivien and Merlin, and Queen
Morgan le hay, and Ogier the Dane, and the story
of Roland, and the Great Norse poems which tell
of Sigurd, and Brynhilt, and Gudrun, and the
Niblung folk. And to these, again, there are
to be added many of the heroes and heroines
who figure in the Thousand-and-one Nights--such,
for example, as Aladdin, and Sindbad, and Ali
Baba, and the Forty Thieves, and the Enchanted
Horse, and the Fairy Peri Banou.

Findelkind
Author:

Description:
When spring came, Findelkind sat by the edge
of the bright pure water among the flowering
grasses, and felt his heart heavy. Findelkind
of Arlberg who was in heaven now must look down,
he fancied, and think him so stupid and so selfish,
sitting there. The first Findelkind, a few centuries
before, had trotted down on his bare feet from

Five
Children and It
Author:
Edith Nesbit
Children's Books/Ages 9/12 Fiction
Description:
Be careful what you ask for. You may get it!
That's the message author Edith Nesbit clearly
imparts in this delightful tale of five youngsters
who discover a bizarre sand creature that grants
wishes. There's a catch, of course: the wishes
come undone at sunset; and worse yet, things
often get out of hand because not much thought
is put into what people really want. An enchanting
tale that's sure to delight today's young readers
as much as it did generations ago.

Folk-Lore
and Fable
Author:
Aesop
Description:
1909. Many tales have been collected and they
are represented in the present volume by the
household tales preserved by Grimm. Far earlier
written down, but less primitive in kind, are
the Aesopic Fables. Still more recent, both
in kind and in date, are the Wonder stories
of modern manufacture represented here by the
tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen had
a marvelous knack of entertaining children by
repeating old folk tales of the type collected
by Grimm; and his success in this led him on
to attempt inventing new ones.

Folle-Farine
Author:
Ouida
Fiction / General
Description:
The old serving woman, terrified in so far as
her dull brutish nature could be roused to fear,
did what she knew, what she dared. She raised
the little wounded naked creature, and carried
her to her own pallet bed; restored her to consciousness
by such rude means as she had knowledge of,
and staunched the flow of blood.
