The brilliant English author G. K. Chesterton, widely known for his style of blending philosophy and theology into his writing, has taken the classic whodunnit genre and turned it upside down with his collection of mysteries, The Club of Queer Trades.Filled with Chesterton’s masterful storytelling and his strong held belief of questioning the truth, The Club of Queer Trades is more than just a mystery novel. Instead, Chesterton takes his readers on a lighthearted, but deeply moving journey that cannot easily be forgotten after being put down. This short, yet wild 20th century novel contains six amusing stories which follows a club of eccentric characters, all who have peculiar trades in which they make a living from.The narrator, “Cherub” Swinburne, is a detective who is tasked with investigating the problems that crop up from the club members’ unique situations. With his friend Basil Grant, a retired judge, the two end up in whacky adventures while trying to solve these queer mysteries, sometimes finding that unquestioned facts can be unreliable. With Chesterton’s genius writing, his delightfully weird characters, and the quirky mysteries that need solving, The Club of Queer Trades is a short, but immeasurably satisfying read.

Jonathan Swift thought that England's anti-poverty proposals were so outrageously evil that nothing short of an absurd parody of them would suffice. His "Modest Proposal: For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick" is presented with a completely straight face. The irony is this: in the three centuries since, humanity has made it increasingly difficult to find evils so absurd that no one would actually attempt them, leaving modern-day Swifts with little material to work with anymore.

"Heart of Darkness" remains one of the most provocative English novels of the twentieth century, exploring timeless themes such as: human depravity, racism, and madness. This edition is based on the one published in Conrad's collection of novellas in 1902 called "Youth."The darkness of the human heart is on full display as Marlow and Mr. Kurtz react to the jungles in the heart of Africa. The river that takes them into Africa's interior reveals to them all that the 'civilized' are hardly that.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most beloved fictional detectives that has graced English literature, and we have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to thank for making the introduction. Doyle began enchanting readers with Sherlock Holmes' deductive skills and crime fighting abilities in the late 1800s and early 1900s and the famous detective has remained popular to this day. However, readers were stunned when Holmes died while grappling with the criminal mastermind, Moriarty. In light of the public outcry, Doyle realized that the demise of Holmes had been premature. "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" occurred soon after.

"Wonderful Stories for Children" by Hans Christian Andersen was originally published in Dutch but was first translated into English in 1846 by Andersen's friend, Mary Howitt. This edition contains the original 1846 illustrations, which were in black and white. "Wonderful Stories for Children" was one of Andersen's first collections of fairy tales made available to English readers.

C. S. Lewis reports that this book by George MacDonald 'baptized his imagination.' It would take years, but eventually this baptism would contribute to Lewis' conversion to Christianity. Lewis also writes that there isn't anything that he had written that had not been influenced by the writings of MacDonald. Given the influence of Lewis, it is astonishing that it has taken the world so long to discover George MacDonald--but discovering, it is. This 'fairie romance' calls forth the question: is there more to reality than we suppose?

Published in January of 1776, Thomas Paine's fiery defense for independence came at just the right moment to turn the tide of American opinion towards freedom and liberty. Some sought to answer Paine, but "so rapid was the change of opinion" thanks to Paine's arguments, that America's leaders not only could not oppose him, but realized it was better to ride the wave of patriotism that Paine had facilitated by distributing his pamphlet far and wide. George Washington would later read some of Paine's works to the soldiers of the revolution, and Paine would later dedicate his own works to the first president. And yet, though nearly all know the name Thomas Paine and are aware of his book, "Common Sense," few have read it for themselves. This book provides you the opportunity to do just that.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most beloved fictional detectives that has graced English literature, and we have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to thank for making the introduction.

This edition is a reprint of one of the earliest collection of short stories that Doyle wrote, published in 1892. No 'liberties' have been taken with the original text. Enjoy these short stories about the amazing Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. Watson, just as Doyle wrote them.

H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" launched the science fiction genre. Over time, it has been adapted into different formats, and with each adaptation, changes from the original had to be made. Sometimes it is nice to see how things all began, without all of the alterations made in later editions or in film adaptations. This edition is the one as Wells himself wrote it for the very first time, in 1895, as published by Henry Holt.

It was Hans Christian Andersen who brought us the story of "The Little Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Emperor's New Clothes," and other classic folk and fairy tales, legends and myths, such as the "The Princess and the Pea" and "Thumbelina." Since Andersen wrote in the 1800s, Hollywood has taken a crack at his stories and innumerable illustrated works for children have been written based on them. As is so often the case, the book is better than the movie. Andersen's original tales for children have appeal beyond the many abbreviated versions made since. In this edition, the reader is invited into the imagination of Hans Christian Andersen.
