Die Mäusedame Milly ist eine richtige Abenteurerin. Sie lebt in London, in England! Da ihre Vorfahren als Schiffsmäuse über die sieben Weltmeere schipperten, hat auch Milly das Seefahrergen in sich. Und so passiert es, dass sie eines Tages aus Versehen mit einem Schiff ablegt! Als sie endlich an Land ankommt, gerät sie in einen tiefen Wald - und lernt dort den Bären Billy kennen, der ihr, der Großstadtmaus, hilft, sich zurechtzufinden. Bald sind die beiden dicke Freunde. Und Milly fühlt sich eigentlich mäusewohl bei Billy - wenn da nicht ihre Sehnsucht nach den Weltmeeren wäre... Wofür wird Milly sich entscheiden? Lustige und rührende Geschichten über die Freundschaft.
Revered by all of the town's children and dreaded by all of its mothers, Huckleberry Finn is indisputably the most appealing child-hero in American literature.
Unlike the tall-tale, idyllic world of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn is firmly grounded in early reality. From the abusive drunkard who serves as Huckleberry's father to Huck's first tentative grappling with issues of personal liberty and the unknown, Huckleberry Finn endeavors to delve quite a bit deeper into the complexities-both joyful and tragic of life.
'American Literature began with Huckleberry Finn.' - Ernest Hemingway.
'This required standard of American literature is brought to life for students. A wonderful selection for school libraries.' - School Library Journal

Who could forget the pranks, the adventures, the sheer fun of Tom Sawyer? It's something every child should experience and every child will love. From Tom's sly trickery with the whitewashed fence -- when he cleverly manipulates everyone so they happily do his work for him -- to his and Becky Thatcher's calamities in Bat Cave, the enjoyment just never ends.
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. He grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal. Sam quit school at the age of twelve to become a journeyman printer. This was to be the first of many occupations, including a river boat pilot, an officer in the Confederacy, a silver prospector in Nevada and a journalist. In 1865 his fame as an American humorist was launched with The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. He once wrote of his readers, 'To simply amuse them would have satisfied my dearest ambition.' He died April 21, 1910.
