  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Tom Gillies - The Knots He Tied...

  Mrs. George Gladstone

  Tom Gillies grows up on Norton Island, two miles and a half from the watering-place of Dixtown, and goes out to his first situation, lodging with Miss Pringle and earning his first wages. The knots of the title are the habits a boy ties for himself — the small lies and idle ways that, as the book warns, grow harder to burst asunder every day — and the ones a friend can help him untie. Mrs. George Gladstone wrote plain instructive tales for the religious publishers, and this one keeps close to ordinary working life. Fifty-eight plates, from Millais to Marianne North, trace the same lesson in landscapes, harbours and boys at work.

  To Build A Fire is the best known of all London's stories. It tells the story of a new arrival to the Klondike who stubbornly ignores warnings about the folly of traveling alone. He falls through the ice into a creek in seventy-below weather, and his survival depends on being able to build a fire and dry his clothes, which he is unable to do. The famous version of this story was published in 1908.

  Twelve cases from Watson's second gathering: a racehorse gone from a Dartmoor stable, a Greek interpreter, a naval treaty, a crooked man, and at the end the Reichenbach Fall, which Doyle wrote in order to be free of the character for good. He told his mother he meant to kill Holmes and she wrote back begging him not to. Twenty thousand subscribers canceled The Strand. Its 77 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.

  Middlemarch (Book 2: Old and Young)

  Middlemarch (Book 2: Old and Young), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.

  Tarzan of the Apes

  The ultimate jungle adventure, brought to life in a whole new way. 
   
  Tarzan of the Apes begins with a shipwreck on the coast of Africa and ends with one of the most bittersweet conclusions in adventure fiction. In between is everything - a boy who grows up learning the laws of the jungle instead of the laws of civilization, who teaches himself to read from books left behind in a cabin, who becomes lord of a world that has no use for the rules he was born into. 
   
  Edgar Rice Burroughs published Tarzan of the Apes in 1912 and created one of the most recognizable characters in all of popular culture. But the original novel is wilder and more interesting than most people expect. This isn't a simple jungle man swinging through trees - it's a genuinely compelling story about identity, belonging, nature versus nurture, and what it means to be human when you've never been told what human is supposed to look like. 
   
  And yes, there is also a lot of vine swinging. It holds up.
