Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë are the world's most famous literary siblings. They were very close and during childhood developed their imaginations first through oral storytelling and play set in an intricate imaginary world, and then through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories set therein. Their work has grown in popularity over the almost two centuries since they were written.This edition collects their great novels: Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë), Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë), andThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Anne Brontë).

Much Ado About Nothing, with its sparkling wordplay, spirited heroine, battle of the sexes, and of course eventual romance, all mixed with a good dose of burlesque, is one of Shakespeare's most performed and studied comedies. Benedick summarizes the plot: "Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably."

"The Three Musketeers" is a swashbuckling classic. D'Artagnan, a poor young nobleman, leaves home to enter the elite Musketeers of the Guard. He joins the three most formidable musketeers of the age. They pit their valour and swordsmanship against the Machiavellian Cardinal Richelieu and the unscrupulous seductress Milady de Winter.

Othello is one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies. With its varied and enduring themes of love, jealousy, betrayal, racism, sexism, revenge and repentance, Othello is perhaps Shakespeare's most accessible tragedy. It is frequently performed in professional and community theatre, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Over a hundred years ago James Allen discovered that one's thoughts profoundly affect one's character, physical health, achievement and even circumstances, and penned this classic to help others discover this themselves. Since then, his insight, a cornerstone of New Age thought, has been rediscovered many times.

J. C. Ryle observed that private prayer is both the most important and the most neglected of the Christian disciplines, so he delivers this passionate and reasoned call to private prayer. As ever Ryle is clear, direct, practical, soul-searching but warm and encouraging-never sentimental.

Charles Williams always makes you stop and think deeply.Charles Williams was a writer of unusual genius. He had an ability to make theological matters not merely interesting to the lay person; but to make them appear, what they in fact are, matters of Life and Death. His position is clear: The history of the church began an Pentecost and is the story of "the operation of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, on humanity." Williams reviews church history in terms of the action of the Holy Spirit, rather than the actions of humanity. The Descent of the Dove is a much needed supplement to traditional church histories.Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886 -1945) was a British poet, novelist, playwright, theologian and literary critic. He was a member of the Inklings and a reader for Oxford University Press.
