  They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever. 
  In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, our fun-loving protagonist goes on multiple adventures, getting into all kinds of trouble as he navigates the messiness of boyhood. 
  Sawyer is now so emblematic of a particular time and place in American history that it boosted the tourist industry of Hannibal, St. Louis - where the novel is set, and where Mark Twain himself grew up.

  Hailed as a masterpiece on publication, The Moonstone still thrills as a supreme detective story. But it is also a novel of mounting suspense, as the action follows the Moonstone’s trail.  The gem is tracked from the bloody looting of Seringapatam to the peaceful heart of England and on to the grim slums of London’s East End.  By skilfully using separate narrators with their differing viewpoints, Wilkie Collins deepens the mystery.  Even the great Sergeant Cuff makes a false deduction. The fate of the Moonstone remains uncertain until the final revelation.

  The Cricket on the Heart is a novella by Charles Dickens, published by Bradbury and Evans, and released 20 December 1845. Dickens began writing the book in October 1845 and finished it by December. Like all of Dickens’s Christmas books, it was published in book form, not as a serial. Dickens described the novel as “quiet and domestic innocent and pretty.” It is subdivided into chapters called “Chirps”, similar to the “Quarters” of The Chimes or the “Staves” of A Christmas Carol. It is the third of Dickens’s five Christmas books, preceded by A Christmas Carol (1843) and The Chimes (1844), and followed by The Battle of Life (1846) and The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain (1848).

  The Battle of Life - The Lost...

  The Battle of Life is an 1846 novel by Charles Dickens. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth and followed by The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. 
   
  The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title. 
   
  Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two respects: it has a non-urban setting, and it is resolved with a romantic twist. It is even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one. 
   
  It is one of Dickens's lesser-known works and has never attained any high level of popularity – a trait it shares with The Haunted Man, in contrast to the other of his Christmas Books
