Then she herself and her brother Max were being rushed by their mother, in alarming secrecy, away from everything they knew – home and schoolmates and well-loved toys – right out of Germany…

The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the 'Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the 'Law'.

The last volume of the fabulously popular A Series of Unfortunate Events series, in which the history of the Baudelaire orphans is brought to its end.

You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so the end does not finish you. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket.

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is an 1883 novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. This book presents a series of episodes in the story of the English outlaw, Robin Hood, and his band of Merry Men. The novel compiles traditional material into a coherent narrative using a colorful, invented "old English" idiom that preserves the flavor of the ballads and adapts it for children.

Pyle's work is notable for taking the subject of Robin Hood in a new direction. It influenced later writers, artists, and filmmakers through the next century. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was the first novel Pyle attempted, adapting Middle Age ballads into a cohesive story, and altering them for the tastes of his child audience.

The novel portrays Robin Hood as a heroic outlaw who robs the rich to feed the poor. This portrayal contrasts with earlier ballads, where Robin Hood's crimes are motivated by personal gain rather than a desire to help others. Pyle's book helped solidify the image of a heroic Robin Hood, which had begun in earlier works such as Walter Scott's Ivanhoe.

Pyle's novel was first published by Scribner's in 1883, meeting with immediate success. It ushered in a new era of Robin Hood stories and helped increase the popularity of the Robin Hood legend in the United States. The novel also had a significant impact on children's literature, moving the Robin Hood legend into the realm of respected children's books.
