"You don't know about me, without you've read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but that ain’t no matter. The book was made by Mr Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things he stretched, but mainly he told the truth." What began life as a sequel to Tom Sawyer quickly became one of the most important of all American novels. Although Mark Twain’s story of a young hobo and an escaped slave who set off to find freedom on the Mississippi is often exuberant and gently nostalgic, it never loses its satiric edge as it examines the South in the throes of slavery. The world's greatest works of literature are now available in these beautiful keepsake volumes. Bound in real cloth, and featuring gilt edges and ribbon markers, these beautifully produced books are a wonderful way to build a handsome library of classic literature. These are the essential novels that belong in every home. They'll transport readers to imaginary worlds and provide excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment for years to come. All of these novels feature attractive illustrations and have an unequalled period feel that will grace the library, the bedside table or bureau.

I adored this tale of sea monsters and forbidden love. Full of deception, romance, and intrigue, Tangled Tides is a story best savored but impossible to put down.
- PJ Hoover, author of SOLSTICE
Tangled Tides includes a delicious romance that even the most dispassionate soul can t refuse. I absolutely adored Yara and her strength in all things, including love. And Treygan? I seriously want in on that merman action. Blue has never been so sexy. Hooper has created a believable underwater world that will leave readers wishing for a tail instead of legs.
- Elana Johnson, author of POSSESSION
Tangled Tides is a delightful, smartly plotted tale of adventure, family secrets, and sizzling romance. I couldn t put it down!
