  The Science of Getting Rich is the classic guide to creating wealth through the Law of Attraction. First published in 1910, a hundred years later it inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and movie, The Secret. According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."

  The Nursery ''Alice''

  Lewis Carroll

  The Nursery "Alice" (1890) is a shortened version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll adapted by the author himself for children "from nought to five". 
  It was first published in 1890 by Macmillan, 25 years after the original Alice, and featured a new illustrated cover by E. Gertrude Thomson, who was a good friend of Dodgson. 
  The work is not merely a shortened and simplified version, along the lines of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland retold in words of one syllable. It is written as though the story is being read aloud by someone who is also talking to the child listener, with many interpolations by the author, pointing out details in the pictures and asking questions, such as "Which would you have liked the best, do you think, to be a little tiny Alice, no larger than a kitten, or a great tall Alice, with your head always knocking against the ceiling?" There are also additions, such as an anecdote about a puppy called Dash, and an explanation of the word "foxglove".

When eligible bachelor Dick Naseby meets the lovely young Esther Van Tromp - a woman estranged from her cherished father, a talented artist whose success takes him around the world - he is too well-bred and smitten with her to confess the truth: he knows her father well.

  From Beyond (Unabridged)

  The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, inter-dimensional environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the inter-dimensional creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such inter-dimensional entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator pulls out his gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it is placed on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.

  Lesley Castle - Full Cast Drama

  Jane Austen

  In the realm of classic literature, the name of Leslie Castle often occupies a quieter corner, overshadowed by the towering works of authors such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë. However, in the rich tapestry of literary history, Leslie Castle by Anne Isabella Thackeray (later known as Mrs. Ritchie) stands as a charming and insightful novella that deserves recognition for its unique narrative style, character development, and themes that resonate with readers even today. 
   
  First published in 1864 under the pseudonym "Ivan Turgénieff," Leslie Castle presents a fascinating blend of satire and social commentary, wrapped in a narrative that unfolds through a series of letters. This epistolary form allows readers a direct glimpse into the hearts and minds of the characters, shedding light on their innermost thoughts and emotions. Through this intimate narrative technique, Thackeray masterfully paints the vivid personalities of her characters, bringing them to life with remarkable depth. 
   
  At the heart of Leslie Castle are two cousins, Lady Lesley and Lady Theodosia, who serve as the primary narrators. Through their letters, readers gain insight into their contrasting personalities and worldviews. Lady Lesley, the elder cousin, is a sensible and practical woman, often portrayed as the voice of reason. In contrast, Lady Theodosia, the younger and more impulsive of the two, embodies the romantic and whimsical spirit. The dynamic between these two characters offers an engaging exploration of the tension between pragmatism and romanticism, a theme that resonates across generations.
