- Reviews of 400 books full of perilous adventures, delightful characters, and sound values - Listed by subject and author - Reading Aloud (from the introduction) - Completely revised and expanded 5th Edition My mother kept this list of the books she and Dad read to us. My brother and sisters and I added books that we read ourselves. My family is conservative; many books didn't make it onto this list. We prefer older books, but we enjoy some newer books too. Almost every book listed here is fiction. I have summarized the plot for each book. I hope I didn't give away too much. Book descriptions include time the story takes place, geographic setting of the story, and the publication date of the book. Books are divided ... more

n The Tempest, long considered one of Shakespeare's most lyrical plays, Prospero - a magician on an enchanted island - punishes his enemies, brings happiness to his daughter, and comes to terms with human use of supernatural power. The Tempest embodies both seemingly timeless romance and the historically specific moment in which Europe begins to explore and conquer the New World. Its complexity of thought, its range of characters - from the spirit Ariel and the monster Caliban to the beautiful Miranda and her prince Ferdinand - its poetic beauty, and its exploration of difficult questions that still haunt us today make this play wonderfully compelling.
