The Nine Lives of a Cat. A tale of Wonder

The Nine Lives of a Cat. A tale of Wonder By: Charles H (Henry) Bennett

Uh... this was a free book I got for my kindle, it was formatted to be used as a digital copy by volunteers. I feel they didn't do a very good job. There were a lot of scattered words so the story/ poem was hard to understand. There was a lot of blanket spaces where pictures where suppose to be. Overall not a very good experience.

The Three Bears

The Three Bears By: Anonymous

This is a twist on the old classic. It was a lot different than the story I remember growing up with. First it portrayed Goldilocks as being a mean child. It was definitely an interesting read. As I was searching for this particular version I also came to realize that the story of the three bears has been re-done a lot. Does anyone know who the original story was by?

The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride By: William Goldman,

"The Princess Bride is a true fantasy classic. William Goldman describes it as a "good parts version" of "S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure." Morgenstern's original was filled with details of Florinese history, court etiquette, and Mrs. Morgenstern's mostly complimentary views of the text. Much admired by academics, the "Classic Tale" nonetheless obscured what Mr. Goldman feels is a story that has everything: "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles."

This was a book that I have been wanting to read for awhile. It did not disappoint. It was just what it claimed to be. A great read for any fantasy lover.
