letters from children, telling me of their pleasure in reading the story and
asking me to "write something more" about the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.
At first I considered these little letters, frank and earnest though they

Book Title: God The Invisible King
Author: Herbert George Wells
Book Description:
PREFACE
This book sets out as forcibly and exactly as possible the religious
belief of the writer. That belief is not orthodox Christianity; it
is not, indeed, Christianity at all; its core nevertheless is a

its statements that need shock or offendMore... | |

Book Title: Extracts From Adam's Diary
Author: Mark Twain
Book Description:
[NOTE.--I translated a portion of this diary some years ago, and
a friend of mine printed a few copies in an incomplete form, but
the public never got them. Since then I have deciphered some more
of Adam's hieroglyphics, and think he has now become sufficiently
important as a public character to justify this publication.--M.More... | |

Author: Charles Dickens

CHAPTER I - Part The First
Once upon a time, it matters little when, and in stalwart England, it matters little where, a fierce battle was fought. It was fought upon a long summer day when the waving grass was green.

A man may have no bad habits and have worse.

Book Title: FENIMORE COOPER'S LITERARY OFFENCES
Author: Mark Twain
Book Description:
The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer stand at the head of Cooper's
novels as artistic creations. There are others of his works

scenes even more thrilling. Not one can be compared with
either of them as a finished whole.

CHAPTER I
My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
Presbyterian. This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
distinctions myself. To me they are only fine large words meaning
nothing. My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and
see other dogs look surprised andMore... | |
