Every mouse wife has a man,but Miss.Gary had one.But then he dead of a mousetrap,the next one dead of a cat,the last one dead of poison! Miss.Gray also had three children and she swore that the trins, the three children, will destroy the famer and the cats.

One day Kevin, an outside mouse,was token into the house,but he got away! The trins then found him and toke him to their home. there he saw Miss.Gray.

So if you want to now what happens nexts read The Terreible Trins.

I like this book from the very first page.Mrs. Gray,a widow has given birth to 20 mice.Wow! That's a lot.From her first husband,Mr. Brown,7 and from the next one,Mr. Black,10 more and her deceased husband,3.The rest of her children have left their home and are out earning their living.Mrs. Gray teaches her three trins(triplets actually),Henry,Richard and Thomas to be the toughest mice in the house.In the house,the mice are divided into 4 tribes,the Attic(which is at the very top of the house),the Ups(just below),the Downs and the Cellarmice.These 4 clans never gather together and unite.The Terrible Trins(that's what Mrs. Gray calls them)learn a lot of stuff from their mother.She teaches them that unity is strength.The Terrible Trins manage to get rid of the two cats in the house and make the farmer,Farmer Budge goes angry with everything he sees.On the contrary his wife likes all living creatures including mice.When the farmer is not around,she will spring the mouse traps and throw away the poison.But that is not enough.A lot of mice still get trapped.Will The Terrible Trins be able to get rid of the poison and mouse traps and show Farmer Budge that mice aren't as bad as he thinks? I really love this book.It is so exciting,enthralling and lovable.I bet you will rate this one of the best animal book in the world.

In this book three little trins (triplets in mice language) were born from the widow, Mrs. Gray. But Mrs. Gray brainwashes them to become the strongest mice around. They try to outwit two cats....Will this be the last of the trins?

Read this book and find out!

The sentence..."The jars were chipped and cracked, but they were neatly shelved, and the picture-writing on them was still cherry and bright after five thousand years."...told us an ancient story. The sentence after...."Only a single jar was in perfect condition.." gave us a large shiver! I think the King of Cats is an excellent book for people who are fans of Sabrina the Teenage Witch or even someone that likes scary stories because this book is scary!

The book The King of cats (Salems Tails) was very interesting. If you like books that you never want to put down this is deffinetly a book for you! This book is about a cat named Salem who lives with three witches and he gets into a bind and bad luck is cursed on his house. So if you think that this would be an interesting book for you and you want to know why the bad luck happens then this is deffinetly a book for you!

Sometimes Salem is too smart for his own good! He had to sneak into the local museum to see a special exhibit on ancient Egypt. And then he had to show how smart he was by reading a riddle on an ancient vase. The riddle that promises bad luck until it is solved. Now he's doomed! Sabrina and her aunts don't believe Salem's having bad luck. But how else can they explain the way everything around him keeps getting broken or ruined? It's getting so bad, the aunts are going to make him an "outside kitty" forever! With a little magic and a quick trip back in time, Salem is determined to find out the answer to the riddle--before it's too late!

Huck Finn, I could take or leave. Conn Yankee is among my favorit e classics. Joan of Arc---better than other interpretations of
warrior women. I recommend this collection and "Damsel in the Rough" by Ann M. Tempesta.

for fans who wish there were another Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer, you will find Mark Twain's 'joan of arc' just as beautifully written as his more famous 'prince an the pauper' and 'connecticut yankee'. for catholics, 'joan of arc' is even more of a must read, a stunning proof how this great saint has captured the hearts of so many, regardless of their skepticism or creed. Library of America editions are beautifully bound, lightweight, and readable. here they contain the two most famous of his non-mississippi writings with a gem most of us never knew existed. a keepsake for the decades.

This collection contains my 2 childhood and all-time Twain favorites - Prince & Pauper, and Connecticut Yankee - and added the magical ingredient of a historical romance I never knew Twain had written - Joan of Arc. Now that I have read this as well, I see that it may be even better than the other two!

The wry sense of humor characteristic of Twain definitely is most in evidence in CT Yankee. All 3 of these works deliver Twain's wide understanding of human nature in different times and sociological conditions, and his admiration of human nobility and greatness of heart in adversity. Joan of Arc unquestionably is the most inspiring of these tales, being the story of the greatest hero (or heroine). The Prince and the Pauper, however, remains a jewel of an adventure story, which any child can identify with, and learn from.

It is a collection to keep forever, and re-read frequently.

This is a cool adventure with an interesting and original storyline. But it is *so* hard - Level 5-8 playes will cop a caning unless you have 10+ players!

Something horrible is happening in the southern moors - many caravans have vanished entirely, and the few lost survivors tell tales of madness, cannibalistic beasts, and worse. What's going on? Well, let's just say not every vampire is human, and your players will never smirk at lizard men ever again... :) This is one of the most difficult, challenging adventures ever made. The cover says levels 5-7, but I've run this wonderful adventure MANY times with veteran players of level 7-8, and every time, my players get a terrifying workout. You won't believe this one...

Hired by a local noble to combat marauding brigands, adventurers find themselves combatting resurgence of a twisted and powerful empire of lizardmen with daunting powers. Parties must solve riddles, comfort madmen, "hack & slash", and be blessed with good luck to survive a severe test. Dungeon Masters can role-play nobles, dragons, brigands, lizardmen, and various other creatures. DMs will also enjoy the ease of conversion of this "generic" module into any AD&D setting. If you ever see a copy, snap it up post-haste

In "Night Journey," Paul Edgecombe and a couple of his guard buddies take John Coffey from his prison cell for a short time, bringing him to a woman with an inoperable brain tumor, who they hope Coffey can heal. At the beginning of this book, Paul and his buddies also discuss the rape-murder Coffey had been convicted of, but it's not sorted out until the next and final book in this series: "Coffey on the Mile."

As you read this series, you become involved yourself. You love the people Paul loves, as well as hate the ones he hates. You are right there as he and his friends risk their jobs to save a dear friends life by taking an inmate with incredible healing powers out of the Green Mile in the middle of the night. You wonder how John Coffey knew he was going on a ride that night, and how he can heal like he can. You are hoping that when they reach their destination, that he can heal Melinda and that they can pull this off. I could not wait from the very beginning of this series for the next book, and when I complete #6, I will be very sorry to see it end. As only Stephen King can, he guides your imagination into places you did not know existed.

Once again Stephen King took me into his world and, as always, I loved it. I, personally, prefer to have the entire book at once rather than in installments. I don't have a problem reading the end of the story only when I get to the end of the book. Waiting a month for each installment was very difficult for me, so I waited until I had all the books before I read them. Mr. King makes it so easy to see each of his characters and, also, to form the opinion of them that he wants you to form. Do yourself a favor and walk the Green Mile

Fantastic Conan-like action story about a Crusader returning to Europe to seek vengence on his father's killers.The series never was finished,and neither was Falcon's revenge on the killers.
Mark Ramsay is a nom de plume for John Maddox Roberts,author of the SPQR series.John,why don't you finish this series?

This is one of the best series I have read! I wish there was some way to convince the author to write more! Can anyone shed light on who the author is, and why no more in the series when #4 has a teaser for book 5?

I have loved this series since I first read the books back in the early 80s. I wish the author would write more - these books are very similar to Robert E Howard's Conan stuff, pure genius and pure fun! I suspect that Ramsay (he uses another name on his other stuff) doesn't regard these books as his best work, but I honestly believe the Falcon series captures something very special (perhaps unintentionally) and I treasure these stories.

I found this book to be revealing and enlightening about one of my favorite singers. Nat King Cole had a voice like no other before or since. With his calm demeanor you'd never think that he endured so much hell in his life. No wonder he smoked as much as he did. This book is one of the best I've ever read about the life of Nat Cole, but like some of the previous reviewers, I found little errors, too. I also felt that it had a strong sympathetic bent towards Nat's widow Maria, as if she were the heroine of the story. That isn't any wonder; this book was written in full cooperation with the Cole family, so I'm sure Mrs. Cole would have had to come out of it looking good, or she wouldn't have cooperated. Also Epstein says that shortly before Cole died, that he and his wife reconciled after Nat's torrid love affair with a twenty year old chorus girl. According to many other sources, though, they never did reconcile their differences. But this is what Maria Cole wanted people to believe. But still this book is very interesting. It reads like a juicy novel, but it's better, because it's a true story. It's engaging and will definitely hold your attention. You will feel like you knew the man personally. For anyone who loves Nat and his music, this book is a must.

I finally got around to reading Nat King Cole, and like the previous reviewer, I, too, caught a few mistakes such as the one about Elvis. At least Mr. Epstein did have the family's approval to write this book, and to be interviewed by him as well. Like most baby boomers, I grew up listening to NKC's music but never really knew much about the man other than the fact that his wife's name is Maria, his daughter is Natalie Cole & that he died of lung cancer at age 45. This book enlightens us on Nat King Cole not just as a singer and musician but as a man. I really felt for the Cole family when they were subjected to prejudice while moving into their home in Hancock Park. I also felt anger while reading of how a group of radicals attacked NKC while performing onstage in Alabama, planning to kidnap him. Mr. Epstein also periodically mentions the warnings about cigarette smoking throughout the book, as it is heavy smoking(several packs a day)that eventually killed NKC. The book is still highly recommended for all fans of one of the greatest singers of romance, bar none.

This biography lets us view this gentleman and his music from his early days on the Chicago jazz circuit to mega star status as a pop singer, film and television artist. Daniel Mark Epstein, the author has been thorough in his research. We meet Maria and Natalie and a litany of Nat's friends, JFK, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Bobby Darin Buddy Greco and George Shearing. There is even an item about Marilyn Monroe. Nat's public image was one of poise and elegance. The author captures the hidden side of Nat's personal turmoil and anxiety. Nat died at age forty-five. So young, so talented, and very very unforgettable. I can still almost hear his trio and his smooth vocals crooning "Blue Velvet", "When Sunny Gets Blue" and of course, "Unforgettable". I liked this book. If you get a chance, listen to John Pizzarelli's version of "Straighten Up and Fly Right", a Nat King Cole favorite. It's on John's CD, "Dear Mr Cole." I liked this book and the CD

An interesting & detailed look into the hunting methods & machinations of the notorious corporate raider of the 1980's , Carl Icahn . A shylock-like shady character from Brooklyn ,Icahn comes across as a brilliant Machiavellian Wall Street shark whose humble lower middle class origins seemed to have whetted his appetite for his soon to be corporate preys.Interestingly , like some other legendary investors ( George Soros , Jim Rogers, Benjamin Graham etc) Icahn was drawn to philosophy from an early age and went on to study it at Princeton ______after all Schopenhaur himself was a hard-nosed savvy investor! Also like most legendary investors he grew up poor .This book dissects in detail the anatomy of Icahn's raids on Texaco , TWA and others, along with the doomed(for most investors) but brilliant(for Icahn & his clique) concept of taking control of susceptible companies through leveraged buyouts financed with junk bonds & subsequently selling off the family silver to line his own pocket! He also perfected the art of "greenmail" by blackmailing vulnerable managements and thus enriching himself at the expense of his fellow shareholders . Icahn comes across as a lean,mean, street-smart SOB who had the brains and the chutzpah to take on the most entrenched managements on Wall Street .

This book is fantastic. It is brilliantly written and lets you get right inside Icahn's head as he stalks each prey! You can almost feel the squirming of the CEO's he tortures. The descriptions of his strategic thinking are amazing. This book is a MUST READ for anyone interested in activist investing. My most influential book.

This book was obviously written at the peak of the internet "Boom". The majority of the companies cited as examples of the onslaught of the new economy are no longer in existence. Earnings are barely mentioned. Companies cited as the movers and shakers of tomorrow are now penny stocks. The total lack of balance relative to other sectors is appalling and in retrospect is by itself educational. Everyone bought into the hype including the entire VC industry. This might explain why they all sat on the sideline in 2001 trying to regain their sense of direction. The entertainment value is a 5 and the educational value a 1. It is your choice.

This book is a must read for every entrepreneur and VC. The snippets of information in it are very valuable even after the downfall of the Internet economy-most of the text is more focused on timeless vc/entrepreneur related issues. I would highly recommend this book...

I was very impressed by the knowledge in this book. It has a ton of useful information for everyone from entrepreneurs to investors to other financial professionals. In addition, the content is fresh and much more applicable to the "after the shakedown" landscape than other venture capital oriented books such as eBoys, Confessions of a Venture Capitalist and Done Deals. This is a great book that has a ton of useful information straight from some very accomplised venture capitalists.

This book was pretty good, but I think the stories should have extended longer. The three stories, The Fairy's Mistake, The Princess Test, and Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep, tell about girls back in time when fairies were real. Since I like these sort of things, I loved this book pretty much. The Fairy's Mistake kind of reminded me of Ella Enchanted, which is an excellent book. The Princess Test is a different tale of the Princess and the Pea, with a twist to it. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep also is like another story, Sleeping Beauty, but also has a twist to it. These three stories are some I would recommend to anyone who likes pretty much all of Gail Carson Levine's books!!

Gail Carson Levine is best known for "Ella Enchanted," a smart retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. But she's also penned a series of short novellas, the Princess Tales. Now three of these cute stories are available in a three-for-one paperback, that fans of retold fairy tales will enjoy.

"The Princess Test" is tried on Lorelei when she stumbles onto a castle. There, all the girls who try out are tested as to whether they are "real" princesses, and the girl who is deemed most worthy will marry Prince Nicholas. But Nicholas wants a girl he loves!

"The Fairy's Mistake" is a definite problem. Two girls encounter the fairy Ethelinda, and she gives them what they deserve: Sweet Rosella has jewels and flowers fall from her mouth, while nasty Myrtle has snakes and toads. The mistake? Now Rosella is held captive by a greedy prince, and Myrtle is using her "gift" as blackmail.

"Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep" is a twist on a familiar tale -- spinning wheel, enchanted sleep, fairy gifts and curses. But there are a few elements that weren't there before -- balding sheep, a prince who doesn't work out, and fairies who are getting a little competitive.

These stories don't have the length to develop the depth of "Princesses of Bamarre" or "Ella Enchanted," but they're nice twists on the old fairy-tales. Her heroines are endearingly smart and independant, the love interests are likeable, and the twists on the stories are cute. (Such as the "Fairy's Mistake," where the blessing turns out to be more trouble than the curse)

If you like retold fables or smart heroines, then the three-pack "Princess Tales" are a good light read, especially for those who like a humorous ending.

Gail Carson Levine has taken some of the classic tales of princesses and endowed them with her own magical imagination.
These stories of many generations of princesses of Biddle are
enchanting and delightful. Even though you may recognize the
basic stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince and other tales, you will still enjoy the new twists. The narrator of this audiobook does an aadmirable job with voices and sound effects which add to the listener's enjoyment. These

stories are funny and endearing and are recommended for princesses and fairy tale lovers of all ages.
