When his good friend George Talboys suddenly disappears, Robert is determined to find him, and to unearth the truth.

Alice in Wonderland Everlasting Diary	CRW Publishing
Автор: Carroll Lewis Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2014	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
This everlasting literary diary has been specially commissioned from Rosemary Gray. It has one page per day, and each contains apposite quotes taken from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass and one of Sir John Tenniel's superb illustrations.

Sir John Tenniel was a British illustrator, graphic humourist and political cartoonist whose work was prominent during the second half of the 19th century. He was the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years and was knighted by Queen Victoria for his artistic achievements in 1893.

Aesop's Fables	CRW Publishing
Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2014	PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ 8 Оценка:
This timeless collection brings together three hundred of the most enduringly popular of Aesop fables in a collection that will delight young and old readers alike. Here are all the age-old favourites — the wily fox, the vain peacock, the predatory cat and steady tortoise — just as endearingly vivid and relevant now as they were for their very first audience. While their lifespan over several millennia marks them out as one of the most enduring staples of world literature, they have also been the inspiration for countless other forms of narrative in various languages. For all their entertainment value — this is a world where even a lamp and the moon can speak, and mice taunt bulls — they have also come to be fondly regarded as a playful compendium of secular wisdom.

Barchester Towers	CRW Publishing
Автор: Trollope Anthony Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2013	PDF, 688 страниц, 20.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
Trollope's comic masterpiece of plotting and backstabbing opens as the Bishop of Barchester lies on his deathbed. Soon a pitched battle breaks out over who will take power, involving, among others, the zealous reformer Dr Proudie, his fiendish wife and the unctuous schemer Obadiah Slope, the smooth Archdeacon Grantly and his father-in-law, the saintly Mr Harding. Barchester Towers is one of Trollope's best-loved novels and captures nineteenth-century provincial England with wit, worldly wisdom and an unparalleled gift for characterisation.

Black Beauty	CRW Publishing
Автор: Sewell Anna Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2008	PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ 8 Оценка:
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow, to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman, to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails — in a gentle, nineteenth-century manner — against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.
