Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ... LIBRARY OF FICTION JOHN HORNER; THE MAN WITH "THE PLUMS." BY DOUGLAS JERROLD, AUTHOR OF "JOB PIPPINS," "THE RENT DAY," &C. Unless the early education of the reader has been culpably neglected, he must have a due knowledge of the extraordinary sagacity, and, withal, self-complacency of John Horner, or, as he is familiarly denominated by his historian, "little Jack Horner," the wise child, who--"Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas pie; He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said--' what a brave boy ami!'" Touched by the intelligence and amiable self-glorification eternized in this simple verse, we have more than twice regretted the silence of history on the after achievements of the hero: if, we have thought, the child be father to the man, what plums must John Horner have picked out--what poeans must he have sounded to his own successful parts! The world before him, one large Christmas pie, he from his little stool in the chimneycorner of his grandam, to his soft-cushioned chair in the old oak-room of his beautiful manor-house, went on, putting in his thumb, and picking out a plum, and crowing shrill-voiced triumph at every new possession. To such a genius it would matter little, we have thought, where the plums were scattered: it. was not necessary to him that they should lie on the surface, to be counted by a blind man--no, were there but a single plum, and that in the pie's centre, the invincible and unerring thumb would dig it forth. How often do we see the thumb of an Apollo grope vainly in a pie full of plums, when the thumb of a John Horner shall pick them out as a hen picks up barley! VOL. II. B Shrewd and happy John Horner! who, shutting his eyes to the vanities of trifling spirits, considered this wide earth as only one...

Excerpt from The Library of Fiction, Vol. 1: Or Family Story-Teller; Consisting of Original Tales, Essays, and Sketches of Characters To the desultory reader, whose leisure or inclination does not suffice for the perusal of more elaborate works, yet who is by no means indisposed to bask occasionally in the sunlight of fancy and invention, this Collection is peculiarly fitted; while, as a companion to the family circle, its careful inculcation (though more by way of induction than direct tutorage) of the purest principles of morality, will abundantly recommend it. It may be remembered that many of the most exquisite, as well as most celebrated efforts of Fiction, both in our own and other languages, have tended, by their dimensions, to realize the adage that "Brevity is the soul of wit." The Novelette has, indeed, from the days of Boccaccio to the present, been the favourite medium with gifted writers of pouring forth the spirit of passion, or striking out the flashes of mirth. Our aim is similar: we seek to reach, through its various points of access, that mysterious agent, the human heart; either to touch it with sympathy or brighten it by amusement. When we reflect on the distinguished names that have already graced our work, and that are pledged to grace its future pages, we cannot doubt of succeeding in this aim.

Susan Orlean’s bestseller and New York Times Notable Book is “a sheer delight…as rich in insight and as varied as the treasures contained on the shelves in any local library” (USA TODAY)—a dazzling love letter to a beloved institution and an investigation into one of its greatest mysteries. “Everybody who loves books should check out The Library Book” (The Washington Post). On the morning of April 28, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The fire was disastrous: it reached two thousand degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed four hundred thousand books and damaged seven hundred thousand more. Investigators descended on the scene, but more than thirty years later, the mystery remains: Did someone purposefully set fire to the library—and if so, who? Weaving her lifelong love of books and reading into an investigation of the fire, award-winning New Yorker reporter and New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean delivers a “delightful…reflection on the past, present, and future of libraries in America” (New York magazine) that manages to tell the broader story of libraries and librarians in a way that has never been done before. In the “exquisitely written, consistently entertaining” (The New York Times) The Library Book, Orlean chronicles the LAPL fire and its aftermath to showcase the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives; delves into the evolution of libraries; brings each department of the library to vivid life; studies arson and attempts to burn a copy of a book herself; and reexamines the case of Harry Peak, the blond-haired actor long suspected of setting fire to the LAPL more than thirty years ago. “A book lover’s dream…an ambitiously researched, elegantly written book that serves as a portal into a place of history, drama, culture, and stories” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), Susan Orlean’s thrilling journey through the stacks reveals how these beloved institutions provide much more than just books—and why they remain an essential part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country.

A funny, playful salute to the power and importance of books from New York Times best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy. When Sunrise Elementary School advertised for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, Miss Lotta Scales knew she was perfect for the job. Who could guard books better than a REAL dragon? Yet when she won't let any of the children take a book from the shelves, the teachers form a delegation. Not even sweet Miss Lemon can convince Miss Lotta Scales that "the library belongs to the children." Fortunately, when nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbles onto a copy of Snuff the Magic Dragon and reads the tale out loud, her storytelling beckons the children back to the library and brings them face to face with the Library Dragon. Can an open book temper the flames of the school's hotheaded librarian? Filled with clever dragon puns, this is an entertaining story, now available in an audio edition, about the power and importance of books for both children and adults.
