Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Elinor and her family gets their fortune taken away when their father dies. You see the struggles that this has put them all in, and you watch Elinor and Marianne battle love and society. Elinor falls in love with Edward, but it becomes apparent that because of her family's situation the proposal may never come. Although on day Ms. Steele comes to town and tells Elinor of her secret engagement to Edward. Swearing Elinor to secrecy keeps her hurting inside, but cannot tell a soul. Marianne falls in love with Willoughby, but her lack of fortune forces him to marry Ms. Gray who inherits 50,000 pounds. This story follows both Marianne and Elinor, in their journey to find a love that can overcome their lack of riches in life. i would recommend this book if you like romance stories, but be warned this story has a very slow start.

Mansfield Park by JANE AUSTEN

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L.Frank Baum

Gr 2-7-Baum's much-loved tale of four unlikely friends and their quest to find the Wizard has been subjected to countless retellings and adaptations, many of them just faint shadows of the original. Here, the entire story is enlivened with luminous watercolors. A combination of full spreads and partial page scenes portrays the group's feats and foibles. As he did so successfully in The Wind in the Willows (Harcourt, 2002), Foreman uses his skillful command of color and light to emphasize the story's sense of adventure and enchantment. Readers many feel a need for sunglasses as they come upon the Emerald City. Subtle humorous details, such as the winged monkeys decked out in Red Baron-style goggles, are sure to elicit chuckles. The expressive fumbling scarecrow is the visual star of the quartet. However, the portrayal of a yellow-haired, nondescript Dorothy is a disappointment. Overall, this is an appealing and accessible alternative to the many cartoon versions of this modern classic.-Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

Madame Bovari by Gustave Flaubert

The bored wife of a bumbling provincial physician, Emma seeks to escape from the tedium of her life with romantic fantasies and adulterous affairs, but is ultimately doomed to disillusionment. Unable to come to terms with reality, Emma is a figure at once noble and banal, tragic and absurd. With her wrenching story, Flaubert forged an unforgettable classic that has remained one of the most admired and influential novels ever written. That peerless twentieth-century stylist, Vladimir Nabokov, put the case memorably: "Without Flaubert there would have been no Marcel Proust in France, no James Joyce in Ireland. Chekhov in Russia would not have been quite Chekhov." This volume features rare archival materials from The New York Public Library, including etchings from a 1905 French limited edition of Madame Bovary and a sampling of Vladimir Nabokov's handwritten lecture notes on Flaubert.
