A Modern Cinderella. Or, The Little Old Show and Other Stories

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott created some fascinating short stories here. A Modern Cinderella: or The Little Old Shoe And Other Stories contains four short stories by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women: A Modern Cinderella, Debbys Debut, The Brothers, and Nellys Hospital. Like her more famous novels, Alcott tells stories of young women interacting with people and events from the late 1800s. Louisa May Alcott bestows a truly amusing and thoroughly modern retelling of The Brothers Grimms Cinderella. Little Women is certainly Louisa May Alcotts best known book, but dont miss her refreshing version of this classic fairy tale, A Modern Cinderella. Alcott pokes fun throughout, describing a cool blonde as having many cares those happy little housewives never know. What modern gal doesnt appreciate that those old, worn out shoes are dependable and will take you far forget impractical glass slipper or stilettos! A great addition to the Alcott library of stories.

A Modern Utopia

Herbert George Wells

H.G Wells wrote many tales of adventure and exploration, which were fascinating to early twentieth century readers as transportation to faraway lands was so difficult back then. Wells Modern Utopia was first published in 1905. It set the scene for many modern, scientific utopias and dystopias. The story is set on a planet very like earth. The Utopian Planet differs from earth in that the inhabitants have created a perfect society. Two men, the narrator and his colleague (a botanist), visit this parallel planet and argue over its merits and defects. Utopia is a world in which the problems of humanity have been solved. People live healthy, happy lives in cities where all human needs are met. The novel is best known for its idea that the Samurai, a group of nobility, could effectively rule a world. This would redress the sociological issue of progress and political stability
