    About this series

    Who says that you can't have it all? Adventure, romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and fine literature? Infinite variety - that is what you find here. Classic Literature has never been presented so approachably. You will savor the chills from Edgar Allan Poe, then smilingly shake your head as a man dupes an entire town.

    You will hear how Sherlock Holmes solves a case for Bohemian nobility, then marvel as a man destroys his life over a piece of string. Whether it be witchdoctors battling each other with lightening, a mad tea party, or a country composed of blind people, each title is guaranteed to bring you closer to the great minds who shaped the world around us with their glorious words.

    Each tale is complete and unabridged. Running time is over 39 hours!
