$26.99
This collection of stories from the Brothers Grimm includes old favorites and hidden treasures to be discovered. They are the stories of characters we’ve known since childhood: Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella.

They’re darker and don’t always end happily—but they’re often far more interesting. This elegant edition of Brothers Grimm: 101 Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites—“Sleeping Beauty,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Little Red Cap,” and many more—in their original versions. Brothers Grimm: 101 Fairy Tales is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers. Many of these stories begin with the familiar refrain of “once upon a time”—but they end with something unexpected and fascinating! Featuring colorful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, this collection of stories from the Brothers Grimm is a stylish addition to your bookshelf.

Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.

$29.99
Far From the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never, the day after,' and lastly, of the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a fearful sense of exposure,' when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba. The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great English novels.

Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on death, morality and the very status of human beings make him 'the first modern man'. Countless stage productions and numerous adaptations for the cinema and television have demonstrated the continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound and engrossing drama.
