Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll http://feedbooks.com/book/22 urn:isbn:0785824464 en 1897 Novels Young Readers Fantasy Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre. http://feedbooks.com/book/22.png http://feedbooks.com/book/22.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/22.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/22.mobi The Native Soil Alan Nourse http://feedbooks.com/book/2355 en 1957 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2355.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2355.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2355.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2355.mobi The Link Alan Nourse http://feedbooks.com/book/2004 en 1963 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2004.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2004.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2004.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2004.mobi All Day September Roger Kuykendall http://feedbooks.com/book/2295 en 1959 Short Fiction Science Fiction Some men just haven't got good sense.

P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. It is about a mysterious individual who awakens to find himself completely alone and what happens when he attempts to make contact with others. "The Outsider" combines fantasy and horror into an atmospheric, surrealistic, and nightmarish tale. It is one of Lovecraft's few tales that uses human emotion as an important part of the story.

By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's "Note-books." The story was published in "Collier's" last summer and provoked this startling letter from an anonymous admirer in Cincinnati: "Sir-- I have read the story Benjamin Button in Colliers and I wish to say that as a short story writer you would make a good lunatic I have seen many peices of cheese in my life but of all the peices of cheese I have ever seen you are the biggest peice. I hate to waste a peice of stationary on you but I will."

The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

Written in 1913, roughly a year before the outbreak of World War I, much of it takes place--rather oddly, given that it follows The Lost World, a story set in the jungle--in a room in Challenger's house. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to affect his writing.

The parlor, the dining room, the kitchen were deserted and the lights turned low. She braced herself mentally, and, flushing at the unaccustomed act, rapped timidly upon the door which opened into the office--which by that time she knew was really a saloon. Hawley himself opened the door, and in his eyes bulged at sight of her.
