36. In My Youth (Kindle Edition)
by James Baldwin
A decidedly different autobiography, originally published under the pseudonym Robert Dudley, eventually revealed to be James Baldwin. A portrayal of life in rural Indiana in the middle of the 19th century it certainly is, but it is so much more. In the words of Mr. Howland, an editor for the original publisher, 'It is difficult to describe just what there is so remarkable about this book, but it is undeniably wonderful. It is literature. It is a strange combination of autobiography and fiction, and records only the simplest happenings -- the life of people in the Indiana backwoods, the primitive life, the commonplace experiences, the visits between neighbors. To tell about it in this way does not make it sound remarkable, yet it is. The style is simple and clear; there is a quiet humor running through it, and in other places the reading brings tears to the eyes.' Ages 10-12

An outstanding collection of poems that appeal to both boys and girls, compiled by a teacher who believed in the formative power of learning poetry by heart.

They should store up an untold wealth of heroic sentiment; they should acquire the habit of carrying a literary quality in their conversation; they should carry a heart full of the fresh and delightful associations and memories connected with poetry hours to brighten mature years. They should develop their memories while they have memories to develop.' The poems are grouped into six sections (The Budding Moment, The Little Child, The Day's at the Morn, Lad and Lassie, On and On, 'Grow Old Along with Me') to make it easier to locate poems that match a child's maturity.

by William J. Long
"All crows are alike" a wit once said of politicians, but in fact, to find two crows exactly alike one must approach them blindfolded. Every one of Nature's creatures has its uniqueness, ways of being in the world that are peculiar to it, just as a small boy's smile exactly fits his face and no other. In this work, Long introduces readers to the fox, the merganser, the moose, and more, focusing always on those traits of character and action that are individual to (or constitute a kind of "signature" of) the creature under observation. Warning: Reading may induce a strong urge to go outdoors. Ages 9-12

365. The Oxford Book of English Verse, Part 2 (Kindle Edition)
by Arthur Quiller-Couch
This second part of The Oxford Book of English Verse introduces the reader to Shakespeare, his contemporaries, and the writers of the generation that followed. Especially noteworthy are the riches of the Bard himself, the bluff certainties of Ben Jonson, Robert Herrick’s lyricism, and the contrasting devotional poems of John Donne and George Herbert, though golden lines are plentiful throughout this work. Readers may quite possibly discover that this is their favorite period in English poetry, as many others have before them. Ages 12-18

366. The Oxford Book of English Verse, Part 3 (Kindle Edition)
by Arthur Quiller-Couch
The Oxford Book of English Verse in its entirety is a choice collection of over 800 poems spanning the period from 1250-1900, selected and edited by the eminent British literary figure, Arthur Quiller-Couch. This third part roughly covers the period from 1650 to 1800 and as such guides the reader through the poetic work of one of the more tumultuous eras in English history. John Milton with 18 poems included opens the volume and Robert Burns with 14 selections closes it. In between we have 67 other poets represented. Richard Crashaw (7), Richard Lovelace (5), Andrew Marvell (6), and John Dryden (5), along with John Milton, are the poets most prominently featured from the seventeenth century, while Matthew Prior (5) and William Blake (12) join Robert Burns as those representing the eighteenth century to the greatest extent. Quiller-Couch gathered most of the Ballads (26) into the middle of the seventeenth century, where, he says, "they fill a languid interval between two winds of inspiration-the Italian dying down with Milton and the French following at the heels of the restored Royalists." Having set his heart on choosing the best, the compiler consulted existing anthologies, but only after making his own choice. As he says, "The best is the best, though a hundred judges have declared it so." Ages 12-18

368. Indian Fables (Kindle Edition)
by P. V. Ramaswami Raju
An appealing collection of more than a hundred Indian fables that are delightful as well as short, pithy, and ingenious. Each fable has its separate moral in prose or rhyme; these are often epigrams of the shrewdest kind, full of wit and subtlety. Most of these fables are likely to be new to the majority of readers. In the characters of animals the same rules are observed as in Western fables. As the symbol of strength, the lion (or, in one or two instances, the tiger) is king, the fox is the symbol of cunning, the bear of inert power, the wolf of ferocity, the owl of assumed wisdom, and so forth.

As the American colonies fought to wrest themselves from British rule, it became increasingly clear that the Articles of Confederation was a document ill prepared to foster the development of a strong and perpetual union between the states. It became necessary, then, for delegates from each state to work together draft a new constitution to supersede the Articles and serve as supreme law of the land for centuries to come. The Story of Our Constitution tells of the founding of America as it is known today, and presents the reader with the central questions addressed during the drafting of the constitution, as well as the many compromises made for the sake of unity. Here, the reader is also introduced to many of our nation’s preeminent statesmen and given a glimpse of the vigorous debates that occurred amongst them, as together they worked to shape a great and democratic nation.
