 | |  | | Category: Adventure, Classic Book Title: The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Author: Daniel Defoe Book Description: CHAPTER I - REVISITS ISLAND

Any one would think that after thirty-five years' affliction, and a variety of unhappy circumstances, which fewMore... | |

 | |  | | Category: Adventure, Children, Classic Book Title: The Emerald City of Oz Author: Frank Baum Book Description: Author's Note
Perhaps I should admit on the title page that this book is "By L. Frank Baum and his correspondents," for I have used many suggestions conveyed to me in letters from children.

AFTER the publication of "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ" I began to receive
