Mother Goose’s Menagerie was written by Carolyn Wells, and contains a set of beautiful, full-colour, Peter Newell illustrations. The ‘Mother Goose Rhymes’ are a collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, originally penned by the legendary (and only some claim imaginary), ‘Mother Goose.’ They have inspired many folklorists and illustrators (including Charles Perrault, Arthur Rackham, Jessie Willcox-Smith and Jennie Harbour) – as well as countless generations of children and parents. The book encompasses favourite tales such as ‘Five Little Pigs’, ‘Mother Hubbard’s Dog’, ‘Mary’s Lamb’ ‘The Three Bears’ and ‘The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon’ – all of which appear in their original translation.Carolyn Wells (1864 – 1942) was an American author and poet, who penned many works of fiction as well as a series of adult mysteries. Her masterful text is accompanied by the drawings of Peter Newell (1862 – 1924); a fellow American artist and author. A native of Illinois, Newell built a reputation for his humorous drawings and poems, which appeared in many magazines, as well writing and illustrating his own children’s books. The combination of Wells’s text and the Peter Newell illustrations, create a wonderful book – to be revelled and delighted in by both young and old alike.Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors. - Del 1 - Associated Shades

“That is true,” said Ward. “And they do do you, my beloved William. It’s a wonder to me you are not dizzy turning over in your grave the way they do you.”
Everyone who has ever died has had to cross the River Styx in the underworld. But even after death, men will be men. On the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth, some put a houseboat on the river Styx to be an exclusive men's club.
But their club may not be as stuffy and quiet as the ones found on the mortal plane. No one can stop teasing Shakespear regarding the authorship of his plays. They wonder if Adam ever had a tail. And, of course, no women are allowed.

Innocents Abroad is a travel book which humorously chronicles the trip Twain called his "Great Pleasure Excursion," on board the chartered vessel Quaker City through Europe and the Holy Land in 1867. The excursion was billed as a Holy Land expedition, with numerous stops and side trips along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, such as the train excursion from Marseille to Paris for the 1867 Paris Exhibition during the reign of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire, a journey through the Papal States to Rome, a side trip through the Black Sea to Odessa, and finally culminating in an excursion through the Holy Land. Twain recorded his observations and critiques of the various aspects of culture and society which he encountered on the journey, some more serious than others. Many of his observations draw a contrast between his own experiences and the often grandiose accounts in contemporary travelogues, which were regarded in their own time as indispensable aids for traveling in the region.Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He is best known for his two novels – The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but his satirical stories and travel books are also widely popular. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned him praise from critics and peers. He was lauded as the greatest American humorist of his age. - E-bokEngelska, 2017
