    In memory of other days,Dear critic, when your whispered praiseCheered on the limping pen.How short, how sweet those younger hours,How bright our suns, how few our showers,Alas, we knew not then!If but, long leagues across the seas,The trivial charm of rhymes like theseShall serve to link us twainAn instant in the olden spellThat once we knew and loved so well,I have not worked in vain!

    Guy Wetmore Carryl was an American humorist and poet. Some of Carryl's better-known works were his humorous poems that were parodies of Aesop's Fables, such as “The Sycophantic Fox and the Gullible Raven” and of Mother Goose nursery rhymes, such as “The Embarrassing Episode of Little Miss Muffet,” poems which are still popular today.

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, June 10, 2015)
    About the Book These are titles about women who have been prominent in any field of endeavour, including education, literature, the arts, music, politics, medicine, science and technology. This also includes women who have been prominent in history, in women’s organizations, and part of the movement for women’s suffrage.Also in this Book Women's studies examines women’s lives and experiences, the social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and relationships between power and gender. Subjects include feminist theory, standpoint theory, intersectionality, multiculturalism, transnational feminism, social justice, affect studies, agency, biopolitics, materialisms, and embodiment. And in this Book Women's fiction focuses on women's life experiences that are generally marketed to female readers, and should not be confused with Women's writing, which relates to books written by women rather than for them specifically. There is no comparable maket for males. Women's fiction often describes a woman on the cusp of life changes, her personal development, and her transformative journey through her relationships with others, in particular her romantic relationship.

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

    Paperback (Independently published, Jan. 2, 2020)
    Most of the one and two star reviews should be ignored as they are simply complaints based on the reviewers' misperceptions and mistaken expectations. This book was published in 1902, long before the word gay was hijacked. It contains no sex of any kind, not even innuendos or double entendres. Nor is there anything vulgar, profane or crude. Instead it contains rhyming versions of several familiar fairy tales with amusing and/or odd twists to the tales. It reminds me just a little of some of the quirky humor in Rocky and Bullwinkle. Many of the rhymes were originally published in Harper's Magazine, The Century, Life, The Smart Set, The Saturday Evening Post and The Home Magazine. They were not written in Ancient English, Old English or a foreign tongue as some reviewers have complained. Though I suppose to some of those who have passed through our modern public education system, they may as well have bee
