The
Tale of Peter Rabbit-2nd-Ed
Author:
Potter, Beatrix, 1866-1943
Language: English
Description:
Peter Rabbit and his three sisters
(Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail) live
with their mother under the roots
of a large fir tree. Peter, who is
an adventurous young bunny, invades
the garden of Mr. McGregor. This is
the same garden where his father had
met with an unfortunate accident and
was made into a pie. After Peter has
helped himself to some of the garden's
vegetables and wanders about to find
some parsley to settle his full belly,
he is chased by the angry farmer.
As he runs, he loses his shoes among
the vegetables, and then gets caught
up in the netting that protects a
group of gooseberry bushes. Peter
escapes just in time after a group
of helpful birds encourage him to
try to loose himself one more time.
He loses his jacket as he wiggles
free just before Mr. McGregor can
trap him with a sieve. He then ducks
into a gardening shed and hides in
a watering can, but gives himself
away when he can't help but sneeze.
After three more close calls (avoiding
a cat and eluding Mr. McGregor twice)
he finally makes it safely out of
the garden and returns home, to collapse
on the floor of his home. Mr. McGregor
makes a scarecrow of the clothing
Peter leaves behind. Peter's sisters
enjoy a bread and blackberry dinner,
but Peter finds he is still not feeling
well (after having eaten too much
and then spent time in the wet watering
can) and is sent to bed by his mother
with only a bit of chamomile tea for
his meal.

The
Tale of Timmy Tiptoes
Author:
Potter, Beatrix, 1866-1943
Language: English
Description:
Timmy Tiptoes, a squirrel, and his
wife Goody decide to gather nuts to
lay up for the winter and spring.
When the tree stumps they were using
to store their nuts in are full, they
begin to use a woodpecker’s
tree hole. Meanwhile, a squirrel named
Silvertail digs up another squirrel’s
nuts, resulting in a fight and causing
a spate of digging by the other squirrels.
A flock of birds flies by, one of
them singing about digging up nuts.
The squirrels follow this bird to
where Timmy and Goody are gathering
nuts, where it continues to sing its
song. When they hear the birdsong,
the squirrels attack Timmy and chase
him. Capturing him, they take him
to the tree hole he had used to store
his nuts in and force him into it,
injuring him. They intend to imprison
him until he confesses. Goody meanwhile
returns home, but as Timmy does not
return, she goes out to look for him.
When
Timmy comes to, he finds himself finds
himself tucked into a moss bed and
confronted by a chipmunk, who on hearing
his story, entices Timmy into eating
quantities of nuts while he is confined
to bed. Unable to find Timmy, Goody
continues to gather nuts on her own.
While emptying some into an empty
tree root, she encounters a chipmunk
who tells her that her home is being
inundated with nuts and that her husband
Chippy Hackee is missing. Upon learning
that Goody’s husband Timmy is
also missing, Mrs. Hackee leads her
to where Chippy is, the same hole
that Timmy had been forced into by
the other squirrels. Timmy and Goody
are reunited, but Timmy is too fat
to squeeze out of the hole. Chippy
on the other hand, refuses to leave.
Two weeks later the top of the tree
is blown off in a strong wind, enabling
Timmy to return home. Chippy continues
to stay until he is forced to leave
by the arrival of a bear. Timmy and
Goody now keep their nut cache secured
with a padlock.

Author:
Andrew Lang

In "The Violet Fairy Book,"
we hear strange and exotic tales from
the far corners of the earth - Japanese,
Serbian, Lithuanian, Africa, Portuguese,
Rumanian, and Russian. But they are
told in the common language of the
fairy tale, and the events will be
familiar to children and grown-ups
alike. A magical dog called Schippeitaro
helps his Japanese master; a man outwits
a dragon in a Rumanian tale; and a
Swahili story tells about a youth
who visits the King of the Snakes.

Description:
1917. 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 book begins: Perhaps
the things which happened could only
have happened to me. I do not know.
I never heard of things like them
happening to any one else. But I am
not sorry they did happen. I am in
secret deeply and strangely glad.
I have heard other people say things-and
they were not always sad people, either-which
made me feel that if they knew what
I know it would seem to them as though
some awesome, heavy load they had
always dragged about with them fallen
from their shoulders. To most people
everything is so uncertain that if
they could only see or hear and know
something clear they would drop upon
their knees and give thanks. See other

Kessinger Publishing.

Upon a massive bench of polished ersite
beneath the gorgeous blooms of a giant
pimalia a woman sat. Her shapely,
sandalled foot tapped impatiently
upon the jewel-strewn walk that wound
beneath the stately sorapus trees
across the scarlet sward of the royal
gardens of Thuvan Dihn, Jeddak of
Ptarth, as a dark-haired, red-skinned
warrior bent low toward her, whispering
heated words close to her ear. "Ah,
Thuvia of Ptarth," he cried,
"you are cold even before the
fiery blasts of my consuming love!
No harder than your heart, nor colder
is the hard, cold ersite of this thrice
happy bench which supports your divine
and fadeless form! Tell me, O Thuvia
of Ptarth, that I may still hope -
that though you do not love me now,
yet some day, some day, my princess,
I -"

Book number 7 in the original Tom

Tom Swift has gone through four series
and through generations of the Tom

Excerpt:
"Well, Tom Swift, I don't believe
you will make any mistake if you buy
that diamond," said the jeweler
to a young man who was inspecting
a tray of pins, set with the sparkling
stones. "It is of the first water,
and with-out a flaw." "It
certainly seems so, Mr. Track. I don't
know much about diamonds, and I'm
depending on you. But this one looks
to be all right." "Is it
for yourself, Tom?" "Er
- no - that is, not exactly,"
and Tom Swift, the young inventor
of airships and submarines, blushed
slightly.

Only momentarily was Tom Swift halted
in his progress toward the scene of
the blaze in the fireworks factory.
To him, and to the chum who sat beside
him on the seat of the electric runabout,
it appeared that the blast had actually
stopped the progress of the car. But
perhaps that was more their imagination
than anything else, for the machine
swept on down the hill, at the foot
of which was the conflagration.

Description:
Book number 12 in the original Tom
Swift series.
Tom Swift has gone through four series
and through generations of the Tom

Excerpt:
There were plenty of marks in the
soft ground and turf, which was still
damp from the night's rain, though
it was now afternoon. Unfortunately,
however, in approaching the house
after leaving the aeroplane, Ned and
Tom had not thought to exercise caution,
and, not suspecting anything wrong,
they had stepped on a number of footprints
left by the kidnappers.

Book number 3 in the original Tom

Tom Swift has gone through four series
and through generations of the Tom
Swift family.
Excerpt:
Any one who has taken a flight in
an aeroplane or gone up in a balloon,
will know exactly how Mary Nestor
felt on this, her first sky ride of
any distance. For a moment, as she
looked over the side of the machine,
she had a distinct impression, not
that she was going up, but that some
one had pulled the earth down from
beneath her and, at the same time,
given her a shove off into space.
Such is the first sensation of going
aloft.

Excerpt:
Are you all ready, Tom? "All
ready, Mr. Sharp," replied a
young man, who was stationed near
some complicated apparatus, while
the questioner, a dark man, with a
nervous manner, leaned over a large
tank. "I'm going to turn on the
gas now," went on the man. "Look
out for yourself. I'm not sure what
may happen."

Description:
Book number 19 in the original Tom
Swift series.
Tom Swift has gone through four series
and through generations of the Tom
Swift family.
Excerpt:
Professor Swyington Bumper seemed
to live in a region all by himself.
Though he was on board the Bellaconda,
he might just as well have been in
an airship, or riding along on the
back of a donkey, as far as his knowledge,
or recognition, of his surroundings
went. He seemed to be thinking thoughts
far, far away, and he was never without
a book--either a bound volume or a
note-book. In the former he buried
his hawk-like nose.

Swift and His Electric Locomotive
Author:

Description:
Book number 25 in the original Tom
Swift series.
Tom Swift has gone through four series
and through generations of the Tom
Swift family.
Excerpt:
"An electric locomotive that
can make two miles a minute over a
properly ballasted roadbed might not
be an impossibility," said Mr.
Barton Swift ruminatively. "It
is one of those things that are coming,"
and he flashed his son, Tom Swift,
a knowing smile. It had been a topic
of conversation between them before
the visitor from the West had been
seated before the library fire and
had sampled one of the elder Swift's
good cigars. "It is not only
a future possibility," said the
latter gentleman, shrugging his shoulders.
"As far as the Hendrickton and
Pas Alos Railroad Company goes, a
two mile a minute gait - not alone
on a level track but through the Pas
Alos Range - is an immediate necessity.
It's got to be done now, or our stock
will be selling on the curb for about
two cents a share."

Excerpt:
The moment Tom disappeared behind
his machine shop, Sam Snedecker began
a desperate struggle to escape from
Ned Newton. Now Ned was a muscular
lad, but his work in the bank was
confining, and he did not have the
chance to get out doors and exercise,
as Sam had. Consequently Ned had his
hands full in holding to the squirming
crony of Andy Foger.

Excerpt:
Now, see here, Mr. Swift, you may
think it all a sort of dream, and
imagine that I don't know what I'm
talking about; but I do! If you'll
consent to finance this expedition
to the extent of, say, ten thousand
dollars, I'll practically guarantee
to give you back five times that sum.
"I don't know, Alec, I don't
know," slowly responded the aged
inventor. "I've heard those stories
before, and in my experience nothing
ever came of them. Buried treasure,
and lost vessels filled with gold,
are all well and good, but hunting
for an opal mine on some little-heard-of
island goes them one better."
"Then you don't feel like backing
me up in this matter, Mr. Swift?"

"Where are you going, Tom?"
asked Mr. Barton Swift of his son
as the young man was slowly pushing
his motor-cycle out of the yard toward
the country road. "You look as
though you had some object in view."
"So I have, dad. I'm going over
to Lanton." "To Lanton?
What for?" "I want to have
a look at that motor-boat." "Which
boat is that, Tom? I don't recall
your speaking about a boat over at
Lanton. What do you want to look at
it for?"

Shove the spark lever over, and turn
on more gasolene! We'll make a record

Andy!" added the lad on the seat
beside the driver. "This is immense!"
"I rather thought you'd like
it," remarked Andy Foger, as
he turned the car to avoid a stone
in the road. "I'll make things
hum around Shopton!"

Oh, dear! Some more of Captain Kidd's

the housekeeper. "Don't you bother
with it, Mr. Swift. I had a cousin

was. He spent all the money he had
and all he could borrow digging for
it, and he never found a penny. Don't
waste your time on such foolishness.

Excerpt:
"Some one to see you, Mr. Tom."
It was Koku, or August, as he was
sometimes called, the new giant servant
of Tom Swift, who made this announcement
to the young inventor. "Who is
it, Koku?" inquired Tom, looking
up from his work-bench in the machine
shop, where he was busy over a part
of the motor for his new noiseless
airship. "Any one I know? Is
it the 'Blessing Man?'" for so
Koku had come to call Mr. Damon, an
eccentric friend of Tom's.

Warlord
of Mars
Author:
Burroughs, Edgar Rice
Fiction / Science Fiction
224 pages
Excerpt:
In the shadows of the forest that
flanks the crimson plain by the side
of the Lost Sea of Korus in the Valley
Dor, beneath the hurtling moons of
Mars, speeding their meteoric way
close above the bosom of the dying
planet, I crept stealthily along the
trail of a shadowy form that hugged
the darker places with a persistency
that proclaimed the sinister nature
of its errand. For six long Martian
months I had haunted the vicinity
of the hateful Temple of the Sun,
within whose slow-revolving shaft,
far beneath the surface of Mars, my
princess lay entombed - but whether
alive or dead I knew not. Had Phaidor's
slim blade found that beloved heart?
Time only would reveal the truth.
Six hundred and eighty-seven Martian
days must come and go before the cell's
door would again come opposite the
tunnel's end where last I had seen
my ever-beautiful Dejah Thoris.
