Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively designed edition bound in genuine bonded leather. These books make elegant, eye-catching additions to any home library. The collection includes: * The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll * Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales * The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis * The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe * H.G. Wells: Seven Novels * The Divine Comedy by Dante * The Iliad & The Odyssey by Homer * The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle * Jane Austen: Seven Novels * The Complete Works of William Shakespeare The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, Sylvie and Bruno, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, and "The Hunting of the Snark." as well as Carroll's poetry, essays, phantasmagoria, and a substantial collection of the miscellaneous writings—some only previously published in their original publications. Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales is a collection of more than 120 of the Grimm Brothers' best tales including such classics as "Cinderella," "Snow White," "Hansel and Gretel," "Rapunzel," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "The Frog Prince," as well as others that are no less delightful. The Chronicles of Narnia have enchanted millions of readers over the last fifty years, and the magical events described in C. S. Lewis's immortal prose have left many a lasting memory. For here is a world where a witch decreeseternal winter, where there are more talking animals than people, and where children can become royalty. This edition features beautiful full-color illustrations and eye-catching end papers. Edgar Allan Poe is credited with having pioneered the short story, having perfected the tale of psychological horror, and having revolutionized modern poetics. The entirety of Poe's body of imaginative work encompasses detective tales, satires, fables, fantasies, science fiction, verse dramas, and some of the most evocative poetry in the English language. Immensely popular during his lifetime, H. G. Wells, along with Jules Verne, is credited with inventing science fiction. This new volume Wells's best-loved and most critically acclaimed works. In each, the author grounds his fantastical imagination in scientific fact and conjecture while lacing his narrative with vibrant action, not merely to tell a "ripping yarn," but to offer a biting critique on the world around him. A landmark of world literature, The Divine Comedy tells of the poet Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise in search of salvation. Before he is redeemed by his love for the heavenly Beatrice, he learns the meaning of evil, sin, damnation, and forgiveness through a series of unforgettable experiences and encounters. This edition of The Divine Comedy features Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned and 135 full-page reproductions of Gustave Dore's classic engravings from the 1867 edition. Homer's two epics of the ancient world, The Iliad & The Odyssey, tell stories as riveting today as when they were written between the eighth and ninth century B.C. The Iliad, which tells of the siege of Troy by the Greeks, is an unforgettable tale of nations at war and of the courage and compassion heroic soldiers show upon the field of battle. The Odyssey is the story of the Greek hero Odysseus and the many marvels and challenges he encounters during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. This edition employs Samuel Butler's classic translations of both texts. Here, in one volume are all four full-length novels and fifty-six short stories about the colorful adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Every word Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resident. Also included is an introduction by lifetime Sherlockians, Christopher and Barbara Roden. Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a stage from which to address issues of gender politics and class-consciousness rarely expressed in See less »
