Excerpt from Fancy Free, Vol. 1 of 3: And Other StoriesShe stood at the open window, hands linked behind her, a piece of sugar held between her lips, and a coaxing smile in her large blue eyes, as she watched a canary perched on the top of his cage. The bird glanced with a critical turn of the head, now at the pretty temptress, and again at the open window which offered him freedom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Robin Gray, Vol. 1 of 3: A NovelNicol McWhapple, with a startled expression on his sharp, hawkish features, sat in his chair, clutching his silver snuff-box tightly with one hand, whilst the other was arrested midway between the box and his nose with a pinch of the pungent dust.He stared searchingly at the frank, good-natured face of the young man who was standing on the hearth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
