Summary

"There is no place like home for the Bobbsey twins—especially when there is a mystery to solve!"

Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie are back in Lakeport! While their previous adventures took them far afield, The Bobbsey Twins at Home proves that life in a busy household is never quiet. From winter snowstorms and sledding mishaps to the excitement of school days and local festivities, the twins find themselves at the center of every neighborhood event. When small mysteries begin to crop up around town—including a missing fire engine toy and strange happenings at the Bobbsey lumber yard—the older twins, Nan and Bert, must use their wits to set things right while keeping an eye on their energetic younger siblings.

The Heart of Lakeport: This volume provides the most detailed look at the Bobbseys' domestic life. Readers are introduced to the cozy atmosphere of their home, the bustling activity of Mr. Bobbsey's lumber yard, and the charming community of Lakeport. It captures a bygone era where the greatest thrills were found in simple community gatherings and outdoor play.

Early 20th-Century Childhood: The Bobbsey Twins at Home serves as a wonderful historical mirror. It describes the games, chores, and social expectations of children in 1916. Whether they are dealing with a school bully or planning a surprise for their parents, the twins handle every situation with the pluck and honesty that made them icons of American juvenile literature.

A Foundational Mystery: Before they were world travelers, the Bobbseys were neighborhood detectives. This book emphasizes the "everyday mystery"—lost items, misunderstood secrets, and the importance of helping neighbors. It is an ideal read-aloud book for families, fostering a love for storytelling and problem-solving in young readers.

    History of Tom Jones a Foundling...

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
BOOK 9: Among other good uses for which I have thought proper to institute these several introductory chapters, I have considered them as a kind of mark or stamp, which may hereafter enable a very indifferent reader to distinguish what is true and genuine in this historic kind of writing, from what is false and counterfeit. Indeed, it seems likely that some such mark may shortly become necessary, since the favourable reception which two or three authors have lately procured for their works of this nature from the public, will probably serve as an encouragement to many others to undertake the like.

    Dive into the heart of satire with Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, a timeless masterpiece that has captivated readers for centuries. Beyond the surface of this enchanting tale of shipwrecks and fantastical realms lies a sharp critique of society, politics, and human nature. Through the extraordinary voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift takes us on an adventure to the tiny world of Lilliput, the giant lands of Brobdingnag, and beyond, each a mirror reflecting the absurdities of our own world. 
Swift's brilliant satire has not only defined a genre but also influenced countless works of literature and philosophy. Gulliver's Travels is more than just an adventure story; it’s a profound commentary on the human condition, power, and pride, all delivered with Swift’s signature wit. This edition not only brings the classic tale to life but also includes critical essays that illuminate Swift's enduring relevance and the depth of his critique on the societal constructs of his time and ours. 
Whether you’re drawn to epic tales, intrigued by satire, or seeking insight into humanity's complexities, Gulliver's Travels is an unforgettable journey that promises to entertain, challenge, and provoke thought long after the final page is turned.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
As the Century staggers to a close under the burdens of its expansive history authors, freed from many constraints, are exploring new ideas on a more intimate scale but on a wider landscape.  Their now everyday names and reputations are forged in these stories.

    Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
THE STORY OF THE INEXPERIENCED GHOST: The scene amidst which Clayton told his last story comes back very vividly to my mind. There he sat, for the greater part of the time, in the corner of the authentic settle by the spacious open fire, and Sanderson sat beside him smoking the Broseley clay that bore his name.

    History of Herodotus The - Book...

    Herodotus, George Rawlinson

    One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
BOOK 1: CLIO: These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the barbarians1 from losing their due meed of glory.
