Charles. Dickens

Gillen D'Arcy Wood

“One of Dickens’s most exciting novels, A Tale of Two Cities is a stirring classic of love, revenge, and resurrection.”

About the story: Charles Dickens plunges the reader into one of history’s most explosive eras-the French Revolution. From the storming of the Bastille to the relentless drop of the guillotine, Dickens vividly captures the terror and upheaval of that tumultuous period. At the center is the novel’s hero, Sydney Carton, a lazy, alcoholic attorney who, inspired by a woman, makes the supreme sacrifice on the bloodstained streets of Paris. 

Markings/annotations in some parts

Presents the classic tale of love, courage, and sacrifice set against the cataclysmic events of the French Revolution.

J. Swift

At once satiric and magical, rich in philosophy and astonishing adventure, Gulliver s Travels transports children into worlds unknown. The entire voyage is seen through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship s surgeon whose amazing account begins with a shipwreck on the high seas and continues as he encounters a race of miniature people known as Lilliputians; giant Brobdingnagians; the foolish Laputians; the very humanoid Yahoos; and finally, the gentle and wise horse-like Houhynhyms--beings far superior to Man. Will Gulliver ever make it home again?

A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight’s account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath’s Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.
