Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are unmarried siblings who live on their ancestral farm, Green Gables, in the quiet town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. They apply to adopt a boy from an orphanage. By mistake, however, a red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old girl named Anne Shirley is sent to the Cuthbert siblings. They decide to keep her despite her not being of the appropriate gender. Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables. Though Anne has good intentions, she gets into a lot of trouble. She often finds herself in conflict with her adoptive mother and other local women, as she has trouble acting like a "proper lady" and abiding by standard rules of etiquette and social expectations. The Cuthbert's agree; she is special - a girl with an enormous imagination.

A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. UNABRIDGED - ORIGINAL STORY

For a while everything was very quiet in the nursery. The night light burned dimly in its pretty vase of rosy crystal, showing Sally as she lay fast asleep and breathing softly, the braids of her bright hair lying loosely on the pillow, and one little plump hand holding fast the Teddy bear's soft and somewhat resisting paw. But presently something under the bedclothes stirred at first gently, then more vigorously. A little moving heap edged its way out from under the sheets and blankets, and a queer little brown figure in pink striped pajamas shook itself free and stood up by Sally's pillow. The papa bear was wide awake, ready for action and very anxious to explore his new surroundings. A Wonderful Children's Story set in the early 1900's, this is a delightful story of Teddy Bears arrival in the department store and the adventures of them when bought and brought into a family's home.

White Fang is one of the great books written by Jack London. He uses his unique style of writing to describe the animals and their surrounding in a very interesting manner. The story takes place in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush and details White Fang's journey to domestication. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild, which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild. White Fang is part dog and part wolf. He soon learns to follow the harsh law of the North--kill or be killed. White Fang experiences the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. As well as the kind nature of humans and how hard it can be for a wild animal to adapt to humans and their way of life. If you like animals, especially dogs you have to read this book.

Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident. Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out. L. Frank Baum

The "Wonder-Book" is a children's book, made up of classic legends, re-told for them, and set in a slight frame-work, as entertainment given to a company of children at Tanglewood.

Children and adults will happily enter a world of magic and imagination, led by Nathaniel Hawthorne one of the greatest American storytellers.
