    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Sept. 2, 2015)
    About the Book Poetry is a form of literature that applies aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to elicit emotion and meanings in addition to, or in place of, the ostensible sound / meaning. The sonnet is of the most common forms of poetry, which was popular from the Late Middle Ages. By the 13th century the sonnet was standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme and logical structure. Odes were first developed by poets writing in ancient Greek, like Pindar, or in Latin, like Horace. Odes appear in many of the cultures that were influenced by Ancient Greece and Rome. An elegy is a melancholy mournful poem, which may be a lament for the dead.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

  • Story Thieves

    James Riley

    Hardcover (Aladdin, Jan. 20, 2015)
    A hilarious, action-packed New York Times bestselling series launches with a story-within-a-story, from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy.Life is boring when you live in the real world, instead of starring in your own book series. Owen knows that better than anyone, what with the real world’s homework and chores. But everything changes the day Owen sees the impossible happen—his classmate Bethany climb out of a book in the library. It turns out Bethany’s half-fictional and has been searching every book she can find for her missing father, a fictional character. Bethany can’t let anyone else learn her secret, so Owen makes her a deal: All she has to do is take him into a book in Owen’s favorite Kiel Gnomenfoot series, and he’ll never say a word. Besides, visiting the book might help Bethany find her father… …Or it might just destroy the Kiel Gnomenfoot series, reveal Bethany’s secret to the entire world, and force Owen to live out Kiel Gnomenfoot’s final (very final) adventure.
