Frances Hodgson Burnett
Tajemniczy ogród opowiada o niezwykłym spotkaniu dwojga samotnych dzieci, z których każde nosi w sercu swoje krzywdy i troski. Miejscem ich spotkania jest stary, przytłaczający dom, w którym wciąż panuje nastrój nieukojonej żałoby. Dzieci, po przełamaniu pierwszych lodów, zawiązują przyjaźń, i wspólnie przywracają do życia bajkowy, zaniedbany ogród.
Joseph Conrad
Akcja utworu rozgrywa się w Londynie na przełomie XIX i XX wieku. Verloc, tytułowy tajny agent wrogiego mocarstwa, wykorzystując nastroje anarchistyczne, planuje wywrotowy zamach na Królewskie Obserwatorium w Greenwich, aby zatrząść posadami Imperium Brytyjskiego i tradycyjnym porządkiem społecznym. Groteskowa zrazu opowieść przeradza się w rodzinny dramat.
Alexandre Dumas
The novel contains love and betrayal, kindness and vileness. The key point in the book is the capture of the famous Bastille. The book will appeal not only to lovers of historical novels, but also simply to lovers of history. Ange Pitu is an orphan who lives after his mothers death with Aunt Angelica, who is a rather funny example of greed and duplicity. After expelling Abbot Fortier from school, Ange settles on the farm to his good friend Billot, where he falls into the hands of a brochure by Dr. Gilbert. It is she who brings our hero to Paris.

Tales for Fifteen. Or, Imagination and Heart
James Fenimore Cooper
This book is meant to be read by young women at that tender age, when the feelings of their nature begin to act most insidiously on them, and when their minds are least prepared by reason and experience to fight their passions. This is a powerful, beautiful, heartbreaking story. Charlotte is one of the women who can really lead by example.
Robert E. Howard
From Robert E. Howards fertile imagination sprang some of fictions greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howards characters, none embodied his creators brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn. The last king of the Picts, Bran Mak Morn exists in a brutal, savage world set in the same universe as H.P. Lovecrafts Cthulhu Mythos. Unlike most of his race, Morn eschewed violence and actively sought peace among the other tribes of Ancient England. The Picts are savage, bestial, un-united; and Bran Mak Morn desires to bring his nation out of savagery, to bring it back to the civilization of their fathers. The Bran Mak Morn tales are littered with supernatural nasties and plenty of action. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy, historical fiction, and Robert E. Howard.
