Books with author John D Fitzgerald

This book is part of a series of children's books by American author John Dennis Fitzgerald (1906–1988). Set in the fictitious small town of Adenville, Utah, between 1896 and 1898, the stories are loosely based on Fitzgerald's childhood experiences. Although John D. Fitzgerald was born in Price, Utah, several references in the stories suggest Adenville is located in Utah's "Dixie," in the southwestern corner of the state, near St. George. The town was indeed a village located west of Cedar City about which little is known. The town is mentioned by Dr. Stephen L. Carr in his book, The Historical Guide to Utah Ghost Towns, published 2009 by Western Epics. Chronicled by the first-person voice of John Dennis Fitzgerald, the stories mainly center on the escapades of John's mischievous older brother, Tom Dennis Fitzgerald, a.k.a. "The Great Brain." The Great Brain was made into a movie released in 1978, with the main character played by Jimmy Osmond.[1] Mercer Mayer originally illustrated the books except for 1995's The Great Brain Is Back (which was illustrated by Diane deGroat). Mr. Mayer did the original cover illustrations for the first seven books as well, but Carl Cassler re-did the cover illustrations for some of the re-prints of the first seven books.

Lance Purcelle finds himself befriended by a more senior student who reveals a secret of staggering implications. With this revelation Lance is thrust into a world of timeless conflict between the Legion of Shadows and the Guardians. When Lance discovers that fellow student, the beautiful Lady Jennifer Findabair, is in direct lineage to a most famous lady from times now shrouded in myth he is astounded to discover his own links to that same period. Their finding of the most sought after cup in history and its continued protection from the Legion of Shadows takes Lance and Jennifer on an incredible journey involving both the British and French secret services. Not only is the survival of the school at stake but also the continued existence of their beloved England. The first of the Chronicles of Jennifer Findabair describes the beginning of a timeless love story set against the majesty of two great nations.

One of the masterworks of 20th-century literature, The Great Gatsby is a novel of Jazz Age romance and the dark side of the American Dream that has been beloved for generations. Because of multiple revisions and the tight production schedule, the text of the first edition did not appear as Fitzgerald had intended. Now noted Fitzgerald biographer Matthew J. Bruccoli has produced the critical, accurate edition.
