Pollyanna Grows Up

(Timeless Classic Books)

By: Eleanor Hodgman Porter,Timeless Books

A reader's review: I love this book!!!! It's just as good as the first one. My sixteen-year-old older sister kept this treasured book in her shelf and urged me constantly to read it. I brushed her off saying that I didn't have time and that it looked boring. One day, I had nothing to do so I picked up the well worn book and began reading. Surprise! I couldn't put it down. Not because it was exciting or suspenseful, but simply because it's one of those feel-good, sweet and uplifting books. On first examination it doesn't seem deep or like it would have something important to teach, but after a closer look you find what a beautiful message it has to share. A girl, who with her kindness and ever cheerful outlook on her surprisingly hard life, make her a role model for anyone. This is a perfect book for anyone who likes a delightful story and a sweet romance. I agree with the other reviewer about Aunt Polly. She is quite exasperating, but the other wonderful characters make up for it and she keeps it interesting. So, get a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle down by a warm fire with this book and be prepared for a wonderful time!

The Complete Golfer

A Must Read about Mr. Golf ! (Timeless Classic Books)

By: Harry Vardon,Timeless Classic Books

Often called "Mr. Golf" or the "Icon of Golf," Harry Vardon was not much interested in golf as a child. His brother Tom loved golf and Harry eventually gave it a try in his late teens in his hometown of Gourville, Jersey on the British Channel Islands. Harry became a super star and was the first golfer to ever wear knickerbockers. With the first one being in 1896, Harry went on to win SIX Open Championships - a record that still stands today. In 1900, he toured the United States as the first international golf celebrity and finished his tour by winning the U.S. Open. The movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played" is about Harry's runner up performance at the 1913 U.S. Open. Harry was also a runner up at the 1920 U.S. Open at the age of 50. Harry struggled for years with tuberculosis but managed to win 62 golf tournaments with a record 14 in a row. When his health grew too poor to continue playing, Harry spent his time coaching and writing golf instruction and inspirational books. Harry Vardon died in 1937 in Totteridge, Hertfordshire, England. After his death, the PGA of America created the Vardon Trophy. It is awarded annually to the player on the PGA Tour with the year's lowest adjusted scoring average. This is an absolute "must read" for any golfer who has not yet had the pleasure!

A Tale of Two Cities

By: Charles Dickens,Timeless Classic Books Staff

Novel by Charles Dickens, published both serially and in book form in 1859. The story is set in the late 18th century against the background of the French Revolution. Although Dickens borrowed from Thomas Carlyle's history, The French Revolution, for his sprawling tale of London and revolutionary Paris, the novel offers more drama than accuracy. The scenes of large-scale mob violence are especially vivid, if superficial in historical understanding. The complex plot involves Sydney Carton's sacrifice of his own life on behalf of his friends Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette. While political events drive the story, Dickens takes a decidedly antipolitical tone, lambasting both aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excess--the latter memorably caricatured in Madame Defarge, who knits beside the guillotine. The book is perhaps best known for its opening lines, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," and for Carton's last speech, in which he says of his replacing Darnay in a prison cell, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

Dracula

By: Bram Stoker,Timeless Classic Books

From Amazon.com reviews Dracula is such an impressive book. I have to be honest that I thought that since it's such an old book, written in the Victorian era, that I might not like it that much and would find it a bit staid. Not so! It is a great read and really holds up to it's contemporary counterparts. For me, it was a real page turner and one of those books that once I picked up and started reading, I had to keep. I won't say too much about the plots because I, for one, hate spoilers. All I can say is that this is a classic and it's a classic for a reason. Read it and see what I mean (Timeless Classic Books)

An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

The Patriot's Edition, Including Five Books and an Extensive Appendix to the Articles (Timeless Classic Books)

By: Adam Smith

The Patriot's Edition Includes Five Books and an Extensive Appendix to the Articles. Adam Smith was born in a small Scottish village in 1723 and was raised by his widowed mother. He was college educated in England and was made Chair of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University in 1752. Twelve years later, Smith decided to leave the world of academia to tutor the young duke of Buccleuch. For the next two years, they traveled throughout Switzerland and France, meeting the likes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Francois Quesnay and Voltaire during their travels. Due to Smith's service to the duke, Smith was granted a life pension and he returned home to his small Scottish village of Kirkcaldy to write The Wealth of Nations. The book was published the same year as the American Declaration of Independence, 1776. Smith's work remains as popular as ever with his explanation of how rational self-interest in a free-market economy leads to economic well-being. Adam Smith became one of the leading expositors of economic thought, with currents of his thoughts seen in works by Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman. (Timeless Classic Books)
