Bridge to the Classics
Hello! This is the site of someone who loves literature, and also has a habit of getting in over her head: hence the sometimes messy HTML coding. :) Please forgive the mistakes - my hope for this page is that you will be prompted to pick up and enjoy one of the marvelous books I've listed. J
Below is a list of my some of my favourite titles, click on the links to read reviews of the books and movies. Enjoy!
My favorite books:
Visit my developing site on my Beowulf study guide!
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by Tolkien *** take a look at my 13 yo sisters's review, too!
The Five Children and It by E. Nesbit
The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis
Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orcyzny
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgeson Burnett
Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling
Winnie-the-Pooh Stories by A. A. Milne
Obviously, this list is not very complete! JI'm still messing about with the site, and am beginning to fulfill a dream I've had for the past two years. I would like to have pages dedicate to certain authors, instead of just a list of works. I'm beginning with Jane Austen - my all time favourite author. Clicking on the link with her name will lead you to a site with a biography, a list of her works, and other goodies! I hope to do this with all the authors on this page (and more!), but it will take time. Please let me know what you think of all the changes!
Note**- the midi files on these pages are traditional Irish/English and Scottish tunes.
