G.K.Chesterton is the best critic of Dickens, and these introductions to his novels his best work. If you are seeking an answer to why Dickens is so enduring, these short essays will answer you. If you are already a Dickensian, these essays are a delightful condensed expression of everything you already know. A pity that it is out of print. It is THE book I try to give to friends who want an introduction to Dickens.

Clausewitz is notoriously difficult for the novice to master -- some would argue that no one has ever entirely "mastered" Clausewitz. Be that as it may, a legion of frustrated amateur strategists can attest to the difficulty of picking up Clausewitz's "On War" and trying to read it through without a guide. In the "Clausewitz" volume in the Past Masters series, the novice as well as the experienced strategist can gain an introduction to the master's life, experiences, and writings that will make the first reading intelligible and that will serve as a quick review of Clausewitz's main concepts in a format that can easily be read in an evening.

This is a book that should stand next to "On War" in every strategist's library.

This neat book goes beyond the 20 contemporary stories of family cats - to include wonderful photographs of real cats and neat cartoons.

This book was edited by Michael J. Rosen who has a great eye to cat stories that tug at the heart.

The picture of the blue eyed white cat on the cover is almost reason alone for a cat lover to buy this book.

I really enjoyed it!

Hey, everyone! This book is great! It's a complete of all the Olga da Polga adventures. One after another you can read about Olga's crazy capers. Recommended for ages 5 thru 500! Those who can't read will enjoy listening to it.

The author has insightfully spun his very real stories. Everyone can see pieces of themselves and their lives within the tales. Even after reading the stories multiple times, I still found different layers of interpretation within each story. The descriptons the author uses are beautiful! He makes the most mundane, simple things seem so exciting, interesting and beautiful. For anyone who enjoys adventurous, INSIGHTFUL tales that make you wonder about life in a deep way, this collection of short stories is highly recommended. 5 Stars for a creative, insightful new author!

Daphne du Maurier was a favorite of the late great Alfred Hitchcock. Most famous, perhaps, for her psychologically intense novels (e.g., REBECCA), her short stories often rose even more to the level of true masterpiece. This book contains six of these, made ever more atmospheric by Michael Foreman's wonderfully unsettling watercolors. It's a perfect combination. Du Maurier's tales are a kind of literary level Twilight Zone. Included in this collection is the all-time classic "The Birds," though the others (every one) are equally as good. If you've never read the original story, "The Birds" offers an additional treat in that we're able to see both du Maurier's own gift of imagination AND Hitchcock's ability to adapt and change a story in creating a film. This book is a treat on both the verbal and non-verbal levels. And, since all great writing is (ironically) about creating an essentially non-verbal experience, this book is a success. Check it out!
