ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
Witty, whimsical, and often nonsensical, the fiction of Lewis Carroll has been popular with both children and adults for over 150 years. This leather-bound volume takes readers on a trip down the rabbit hole in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and begin the adventure anew when Alice steps through a mirror into another magical in Through the Looking Glass. Fans of Carroll will also delight in the inclusion of Alice's Adventures Underground, the original unpublished manuscript that would later be transformed into the much-loved novel.
CHARLES DICKENS: FOUR NOVELS
Oliver Twist. Pip. The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The characters of Charles Dickens live on in our imaginations long after we've read his renowned works of social commentary and vivid storytelling. Although these novels were written more than a hundred years ago, no home library today would be complete without them. This Canterbury Classics edition collects some of Dickens's most famous and beloved works-The Adventures of Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations-in one edition.
EDGAR ALLAN POE
Edgar Allan Poe was a master of tales of the mysterious and macabre. From the eerie incantations of The Raven to the persistent fright of The Tell-Tale Heart, his stories and poems are unforgettable explorations of the darker side of life that still offer lessons and insight into human behaviour today, making them an integral component of just about any library. This leather-bound edition collects some of his best-known work, as well as an essay by a Poe scholar, Edgar Allan Poe is the perfect introduction for new readers and the perfect resource for devoted fans.
THE BRONTE SISTERS
This handsome leather-bound edition includes the most acclaimed novels of each of the Brontë sisters: Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women's perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public. A scholarly introduction provides an overview of the sisters' childhood in northern England, their literary influences, and their enduring legacy.
P. LOVECRAFT TALES OF HORROR
The stories of H. P. Lovecraft have been a source of fascination for readers since they were published in the early twentieth century, and legions of fans continue to reinvent his dark and fantastical world to this day. This collection of short stories by the master of the macabre contains more than twenty of his most popular works, including The Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Dunwich Horror. Each story will leave the reader feeling unsettled and uncertain, but also appreciative of the unique elements that Lovecraft introduced to the literary world.
