The first great fantasy novel ever written. J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis are but successors to William Morris. Tale of quest, adventure, magic and war set in an invented age and in the invented world of the author's own imagination. Lots of very old-fashioned archaic English.
Sequel to "Jerry of the Islands". Lots of unnecessary racism but one of the best animal adventures.
Delightful parody on Dumas's knightly adventures. Very funny.

The story of a British frigate traveling through the Caribbean sea and their encounter with the pirate ship known as The Slapping Sal.
Short historical story. Slightly naive but very amusing interpretation of the ancient history .
