Black Beauty
A handsome horse with a glossy black coat and a pretty white star on his
forehead, Black Beauty seems to lead a charmed life. Although his
mother warns him that there are 'bad, cruel men' in the world, he begins
his life in a happy home, with a friendly groom to look after him and
plenty to eat. However, when a change of circumstances means that he is
sold, he soon discovers the truth of his mother's words. Anna Sewell's
moving story is one of the best-loved animal adventures ever written.
Anne of Green Gables
Brother and sister Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert look forward to meeting
the young orphpan boy whom they hope to give a good life to at their
Avonlea farm, Green Gables. When they are accidentally sent Anne Shirley
instead, they make the most of the orphanage's mistake, and welcome the
imaginative girl with loving arms. Under their care and through the
friendships she forges at school, Anne enjoys adventures and experiences
that teach her how to be loving and caring in return.
Heidi
Heidi is the timeless tale of the orphan girl Heidi, who lives
with her grandfather in the mountains of Switzerland and who brings
cheer and comfort into the lives of all who know her. This edition of
Johanna Spyri's classic novel features illustrations in full color by
Jessie Wilcox Smith.
The Secret Garden
On
the grounds of Misselthwaite, her Uncle Archibald's estate near the
Yorkshire moors, nine-year-old Mary Lennox finds a walled-in garden that
has been locked securely for years. With
the help of Dickon Sowerby, a young local boy who can charm animals,
Mary cultivates the garden, an experiences that both improves her health
and raises her spirits.
Ultimately,
the secret garden proves beneficial not only to to Mary, but to her
sickly cousin Colin, whom her estranged uncle has locked away in
solitude following the death of his beloved wife, Colin's mother.
Nurtured with love and tenderness, the secret garden proves it has the
power to heal the heart.
Aesop's Fables
Aesop's Fables features more than 200 fables, specially selected for young readers and beautifully illustrated with engravings and color plates by Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, and Ernest Griset. It includes all of the classic fables whose titles and morals have become part of our common cultural vocabulary, among them "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Dog in the Manger," and "The Fox and the Grapes." Part fairy tale, part fantasy story, part parable with a lesson to impart, each of these fables is a polished gem of storytelling craft whose luster never dulls.
A Little Princess
At Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, young Sara Crewe enjoys the friendship of her classmates and the staff—much to stern Miss Minchin's disdain. When Sara is unexpectedly impoverished, she is forced to become a servant under Miss Minchin's control. To escape her dreary life, Sara imagines herself as a princess, and her experiences soon teach her that being a princess on the inside counts more than any outward expression of royalty.
The Wind in the Willows
First published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows chronicles the adventures of four friends drawn together by their love of the Thames River valley: mild-mannered Mole, refined Ratty, solitary Badger, and irascible and reckless Toad. More than a century after Kenneth Grahame first imagined his tale as bedtime stories to tell his son, The Wind in the Willows remains one of the best-loved classics of children's literature. This edition is illustrated with the full-color art of Nancy Barnhart, reprinted from the book's first American edition.
