Abraham Lincoln: A Giant Among Presidents

Copies: 5

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. . . . I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. - Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln grew up with little more than a second-grade education. His father thought school was a waste of time and wanted young Abe to learn carpentry and farming instead. Even so, Lincoln developed a love of reading so great that he would often walk five miles just to borrow a book. In time, his reading would help to shape a sharp mind, a keen sense of humor, and a kind heart.

Published five years after Wilde’s successful novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), this was Wilde’s most successful play and became an instant hit when it opened in London in February, 1895. While some view this play as simply a device to show off Wilde’s clever witticisms and word play, others consider it an insightful social comedy. Whatever your view, it is essential reading for anyone interested in Wilde and his times.

Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper, and Other Stories

This is the classic fairy tale. Cinderella, the evil step sisters, the fairy god mother, the prince, the glass slippers…It’s all here, a classic tale for all times. What’s surprising to the reader returning to the book after many years are the number of true moral lessons contained in the simple tale -- for instance Cinderella and the prince first meet when Cinderella nurses a lame bluebird in the forest; this same bluebird later becomes the fairy godmother. There’s a reason this book had endured through the ages.
