This revised and updated guide to some of the best American children's books of the twentieth century retains many of the features that made the previous editions so successful. Written in the same warm, insightful language as her annotations, Lipson's new introduction notes the inclusion of more biographies, history, science, and books about diverse cultural experiences than the previous editions. Broadened to include emerging classics and favorites from the 1990s, the entries include award winners through 1999. The multiple indexes are here again, grouping books by title, author, illustrator; age appropriateness; read-aloud potential and special interests--from the specific (cats) to the general (family life). The format, too, is similar to that of the previous volumes, with well-reproduced illustrations from selected titles and wide margins that leave room for recording children's reactions to the titles, etc. Finely written and organized, this is a resource no library (or parent) should be without.

ABOUT THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU

Ranked among the classic novels of the English language and the inspiration for several unforgettable movies, this early work of H. G. Wells was greeted in 1896 by howls of protest from reviewers, who found it horrifying and blasphemous. They wanted to know more about the wondrous possibilities of science shown in his first book, The Time Machine, not its potential for misuse and terror. In The Island of Dr. Moreau a shipwrecked gentleman named Edward Prendick, stranded on a Pacific island lorded over by the notorious Dr. Moreau, confronts dark secrets, strange creatures, and a reason to run for his life.

While this riveting tale was intended to be a commentary on evolution, divine creation, and the tension between human nature and culture, modern readers familiar with genetic engineering will marvel at Wells’s prediction of the ethical issues raised by producing “smarter” human beings or bringing back extinct species. These levels of interpretation add a richness to Prendick’s adventures on Dr. Moreau’s island of lost souls without distracting from what is still a rip-roaring good read.

H.G. Wells's science fiction classic, the first novel to explore the possibilities of intelligent life from other planets, it still startling and vivid nearly after a century after its appearance, and a half-century after Orson Wells's infamous 1938 radio adaptation.

The daring portrayal of aliens landing on English soil, with its themes of interplanetary imperialism, technological holocaust and chaos, is central to the career of H.G. Wells, who died at the dawn of the atomic age.

The survival of mankind in the face of "vast and cool and unsympathetic" scientific powers spinning out of control was a crucial theme throughout his work.

Visionary, shocking and chilling, The War Of The Worlds has lost none of its impact since its first publication in 1898.
