Little Wars and Floor Games: The Foundations of Wargaming
by H. G. WellsIronically enough, one of the twentieth century's leading pacifists wrote Little Wars, a book that has entertained and enlightened war buffs for the past hundred years. H. G. Wells, the great science-fiction pioneer, turned his attention from tales of time travel and alien invasions to write the first classic book of war games. His simulations of past battles and hypothetical future clashes allow readers to test their tactical and strategic skills and attempt to rewrite history.The companion piece, Floor Games, offers a more lighthearted look at war games. Based on the playful battles Wells waged with his sons, the narrative describes how creative play with miniature figures can transform an ordinary room into a magical world. The book has since been hailed as an inspiration for the development of a nonverbal psychotherapeutic method employed in the treatment of adults and children. Both Little Wars and Floor Games feature winsome illustrations by J. R. Sinclair that enhance their antique charm.

Little Wizard Stories of Oz
by L. Frank BaumA delightful collection of Oz stories with younger readers in mind. Peter Glassman writes of this book: "Many of the most wonderful attributes of Baum's best characters are allowed to fully shine here in these stories. IN the "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," we get to see once and for all what humbugs these giant felines are. And though the Scarecrow may have sharp brains and the Tin Woodman may be bright (especially when well polished), Baum makes it very clear in their story that it is their friendship and love for each other that makes these two gentlemen so appealing. Humor is also at a high pitch in these fast paced gems. In addition to the delightful turn about of the boasting Lion and Tiger and the slapstick antics of the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, there is the hilarious sight of the ill tempered Nome King running in terror from what he believes to be the ghost of Tiktok a mechanical man who was never alive in the first place and of course the very names of those three nasty imps - Olite, Udent and Ertinent - that the Wizard and Ozma have to contend with in their tale are enough to bring a smile to the face of even the most stoic individual. As in all good collections of fairy tales, and that is the Little Wizard Stories are - there are moments of suspense and danger. The Sawhorse's flight through the forest to escape the angry squirrels, with a headless Jack Pumpkinhead and the two rescued children, is guaranteed to send your hearts racing and when Dorothy breaks all those dishes at crinklink's house, a shiver of fear for her safety is keenly felt by all." This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy. But unlike the darker fairy tales of Grimm and Perraut, in Baum's Oz fairy tales the danger quickly passes and every thing is put to rights. True to his introduction in the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum has avoided any truly "disagreeable incidents' or 'horrible and blood curdling' moments in these stories.
Little Wizard Stories of Oz
by L. Frank BaumThe Little Wizard Stories of Oz contains six thrilling short stories based on characters from the Wizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum had announced to the world that he was done writing Oz books. Inundated with letters from disappointed children Baum decided to write short stories in the hopes that this would mollify his legions of disappointed fans. These stories explore more deeply many of the characters we've come to know and love-- Jack Pumkinhead, The Cowardly Lion, The Hungry Tiger, The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodman, and even the Wizard of Oz himself. This lavishly illustrated edition has more than forty of John R. Neill's whimsical drawings.

Little Women and Werewolves
by Louisa May Alcott Porter GrandA literary landmark--the original, suppressed draft of the classic novel! Little Women is a timeless classic. But Louisa May Alcott's first draft--before her editor sunk his teeth into it--was even better. Now the original text has at last been exhumed. In this uncensored version, the March girls learn some biting lessons, transforming from wild girls into little women--just as their friends and neighbors transform into vicious, bloodthirsty werewolves! Here are tomboy Jo, quiet Beth, ladylike Amy, and good-hearted Meg, plus lovable neighbor Laurie Laurence, now doomed to prowl the night on all fours, maiming and devouring the locals. As the Civil War rages, the girls learn the value of being kind, the merits of patience and grace, and the best way to stab a supernatural creature in the heart and cut off his ugly, slavering head. By turns heartwarming and blood-curdling, this rejuvenated classic will be cherished and treasured by those who love a lesson in virtue almost as much as they enjoy a good old-fashioned dismemberment. Includes the original letter from Alcott's editor, telling her not to even think about it!
