Category: Adventure, Children, Classic eBook Title: Ozma of Oz Author: Frank Baum eBook Description: Author's Note My friends the children are responsible for this new "Oz Book," as they were for the last one, which was called The Land of Oz. Their sweet little letters plead to know "more about Dorothy"; and they ask: "What became of the Cowardly Lion?" and "What did Ozma do afterward?"--meaning, of course, after she became the Ruler of Oz. And some of them suggest plots to me, saying: "Please have Dorothy go to the Land of Oz again"; or, "Why don't you make Ozma and Dorothy meet, and have a good time together?" Indeed, could I do all that my little friends ask, I would be obliged to write dozens of books to satisfy their demands. And I wish I could, for I enjoy writing these stories just as much as the children say they enjoy reading them. Well, here is | ||||

 eBook Title: The Treasure Hunter Author: Robin Moore and Howard Jennings eBook Description: This book, based on the true life stories of treasure hunter Howard Jennings, was really responsible for opening up the world of exploration for me. At the time I first read it, I was working as a private investigator and I decided to find out if his stories were actually true. In my efforts to find Jennings, I spoke with Robin Moore, who told me that Jennings had unfortunately died a few years earlier in a commercial airplane crash in Istanbul, while on the trail of one of the greatest treasures of his career. This terrific book is essential reading for treasure hunters, prospectors, adventurers and explorers. It inspired me to be able to eventually make a comfortable, full-time living as an explorer. I believe you will find it as compelling as I did. | ||||

Category: Adventure, Children, Classic eBook Title: Tik-Tok of Oz Author: Frank Baum eBook Description: To My Readers The very marked success of my last year's fairy book, "The Patchwork Girl of Oz," convinces me that my readers like the Oz stories "best of all," as one little girl wrote me. So here, my dears, is a new Oz story in which is introduced Ann Soforth, the Queen of Oogahoo, whom Tik-Tok assisted in conquering our old acquaintance, the Nome Kin. It also tells of Betsy Bobin and how, after many adventures, she finally reached the marvelous Land of Oz. There is a play called "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz," hut it is not like this story of "Tik-Tok of Oz," although some of the adventures recorded in this book, as well as those in several other Oz hooks, are included in the play. Those who have seen the play and those who have read the other Oz hooks will find | ||||

 eBook Title: Robinson Crusoe Author: Daniel Defoe eBook Description: I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull. He got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade lived afterward at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznear; but by the usual corruption of words in England we are now called, nay, we call ourselves, and write our name, Crusoe, and so my companions always called me. I had two elder brothers, one of which was lieutenant-colonel to | ||||

 eBook Title: The Case Book Of Sherlock Holmes Author: Arthur Conan Doyle eBook Description: PREFACE THE CASE BOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES I fear that Mr. Sherlock Holmes may become like one of those popular tenors who, having outlived their time, are still tempted to make repeated farewell bows to their indulgent audiences. This must cease and he must go the way of all flesh, material or imaginary. One likes to think that there is some fantastic limbo for the children of imagination, some strange, impossible place where the beaux of Fielding may still make love to the belles of Richardson, where Scott's heroes still may strut, Dickens's delightful Cockneys still raise a laugh, and Thackeray's worldlings continue to carry on their reprehensible careers. Perhaps in some humble corner of such a Valhalla, Sherlock and his Watson may for a time find a place, | ||||

 eBook Title: Valley Of Fear Author: Arthur Conan Doyle eBook Description: PART 1 The Tragedy of Birlstone Chapter 1 The Warning "I am inclined to think -- " said I. "I should do so," Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently. I believe that I am one of the most long-suffering of mortals; but I'll admit that I was annoyed at the sardonic interruption. "Really, Holmes," said I severely, "you are a little trying at times." He was too much absorbed with his own thoughts to give any immediate answer to my remonstrance. He leaned upon his hand, with his untasted breakfast before him, and he stared at the slip of paper which he had just drawn from its envelope. Then he took the envelope itself, held it up to the light, and very carefully studied both the exterior and the flap. "It is Porlock's writing," said he thoughtfully. "I | ||||

Category: Adventure, Children, Classic eBook Title: The Road to Oz Author: Frank Baum eBook Description: To My Readers Well, my dears, here is what you have asked for: another "Oz Book" about Dorothy's strange adventures. Toto is in this story, because you wanted him to be there, and many other characters which you will recognize are in the story, too. Indeed, the wishes of my little correspondents have been considered as carefully as possible, and if the story is not exactly as you would have written it yourselves, you must remember that a story has to be a story before it can be written down, and the writer cannot change it much without spoiling it. In the preface to "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz" I said I would like to write some stories that were not "Oz" stories, because I thought I had written about Oz long enough; but since that volume was published I | ||||
