Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, but now it’s time for youngins everywhere to get right acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mr. Mark Twain! An interesting character, he was...even if he did sometimes get all gussied up in linen suits and even if he did make it rich and live in a house with so many tiers and gazebos that it looked like a weddin’ cake. All that’s a little too proper and hog tied for our narrator, Huckleberry Finn, but no one is more right for the job of telling this picture book biography than Huck himself. (We’re so glad he would oblige.) And, he’ll tell you one thing—that Mr. Twain was a piece a work! Famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly what’s on his mind, a real satirist he was—perhaps America’s greatest. Ever. True to Huck’s voice, this picture book biography is a river boat ride into the life of a real American treasure.

The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation, the first author according to Twain himself to do so.This was also according to Twain an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature although the first sentence of the second paragraph references weather fine, breezy morning. Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time.

Robert Browning's 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' is a timeless classic known for its lyrical storytelling and engaging narrative style.

Browning's use of vivid imagery and poetic language creates a captivating reading experience, making it a beloved piece of children's literature. This book stands out for its fairy tale elements, moral themes, and allegorical undertones, showcasing Browning's skill as a storyteller. The original illustrations add an extra layer of charm to the narrative, immersing readers in the magical world of Hamelin. Robert Browning, a renowned Victorian poet, drew inspiration from various folk tales and legends when creating 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin.' His fascination with human nature and morality is evident throughout the story, as he delves into themes of justice, betrayal, and consequences. Browning's distinctive writing style and narrative prowess shine in this enchanting tale, making it a must-read for both children and adults alike. I highly recommend 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' to readers looking for a classic fairy tale with a moral message.
