The story of the wooden puppet who learns goodness and becomes a real boy is famous the world over, and has been familiar in English for over a century. From the moment Joseph the carpenter carves a puppet that can walk and talk, this wildly inventive fantasy takes Pinocchio through countless adventures, in the course of which his nose grows whenever he tells a lie, he is turned into a donkey, and is swallowed by a dogfish, before he gains real happiness. This new translation does full justice to the vibrancy and wit of Collodi''s original. Far more sophisticated, funny, and hard-hitting than the many abridged versions (and the sentimentalized film) of the story would suggest, Ann Lawson Lucas''s translation captures the complexity of Collodi''s word-play, slapstick humour, and immediacy of dialogue. An adult reader will recognize social and political satire, and the invaluable introduction and notes illuminate the cultural traditions on which Collodi drew.

Set in 1840s Missouri, Mark Twain''s picaresque novel follows a rambunctious, rebellious rascal whose exploits are the delight of the town boys and the bane of the adults trying to “civilize” them at home, in school, and at church.Tom and his friends, including Huck Finn (the son of the town drunk and star of Twain’s subsequent masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), skip school and run away, play pirates and robbers, go hunting in caves, fake their own deaths, poke around haunted houses, frolic along the river banks, and triumphantly interrupt their own funeral sermons. They believe in magic and superstitions, witness body snatchers and murder, and search for—and find—buried treasure.Twain''s mastery of satire and droll humor, his unparalleled narrative skill in capturing the incomparable fierce joys of childhood, and his piercing attentiveness to the ever-present tension between the freedom of adolescence and the confining expectations of social propriety have made this timeless tale of Americana a revered ...

You will never know the difference between fact and fiction again.'' – Jill Paton Walsh, author of the Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane mysteries.Maud West ran her detective agency in London for more than thirty years, having started sleuthing on behalf of society’s finest in 1905. Her exploits grabbed headlines throughout the world but, beneath the public persona, she was forced to hide vital aspects of her own identity in order to thrive in a class-obsessed and male-dominated world.
