Along with their appealing homespun humor and language so vivid and colorful you can virtually hear it pouring out of the characters' mouths, Mark Twain's works had a wickedly satiric bite. In a proudly democratic spirit, and with a lively storytelling style that both children and adults alike devour, Twain took comic aim at antebellum Southern racism--especially in his often-misunderstood masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; aristocratic superiority (in The Prince and the Pauper); and even the American can-do spirit (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court). With its array of wonderful illustrations, this collection from perhaps the ultimate American writer is perfect for all ages, and includes not only the above titles, but The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with its clever, mischievous hero; Pudd'nhead Wilson, a complex mystery about a slave woman who swaps her light-skinned son with a judge's child; and several short stories.

Jane Austen's sparkling and witty novels continue to entrance readers today--as proven by the rapturous reception given the many film and TV adaptations of her work. Pride and Prejudice, Austen's most well-loved story, tells of Lizzy Bennet and her five sisters as they search for true love-a love Lizzy nearly loses because of pride. Fanny, of Mansfield Park, comes to live with her aunt and uncle in their elegant mansion. But she finds herself both out of place and in love with her handsome cousin Edmund. Can shy Fanny win him from the outgoing and charming Miss Crawford? Persuasion, Austen's last final novel, explores the consequences of giving in to the opinions of others, rather than following one's own heart. Delightfully illustrated with delicate line drawings.

Henry James looked at society’s rules and foibles with a sharp, critical eye. Shifting from America to Europe, the New World and the Old, he saw how rigid conventions could destroy lives and happiness. His views come to life in 5 of his classic, richly textured novels included here: Daisy Miller, Washington Square, The Portrait of a Lady, The Bostonians, and The Aspern Papers.
