HENRY CUYLUR BUNNER (1855-96). _Short Sixes._ Among the best American short stories. JOHN BUNYAN (1628-88). _The Pilgrim’s Progress._ In _Everyman’s Library_ and many other cheap editions. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT. _Little Lord Fauntleroy._ _Editha’s Burglar._ _Sara Crewe._ FRANCES BURNEY (Madame d’Arblay, 1752-1840). _Evelina._ GEORGE WASHINGTON CABLE. _Old Creole Days._ _The Grandissimes._ MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA (1547-1616). _Don Quixote._ [Illustration: COOPER] In Motteux’s translation in two volumes of _Everyman’s Library_, and other popular editions. SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS (“Mark Twain”). _Tom Sawyer._ _The Prince and the Pauper._ _Huckleberry Finn._ _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court._ _Pudd’nhead Wilson._ _Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc._ _The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg._ WILLIAM WILKIE COLLINS (1824-89). _The Woman in White._ _The Moonstone._ JOSEPH CONRAD. _Youth._ _Falk._ _The Children of the Sea._ _Typhoon._ One of the most remarkable of recent writers, a Pole who adopted the English language and has contributed to its beauties. Unsurpassed as a writer of stories of the sea. JAMES FENIMORE COOPER (1789-1851). _The Spy._ _The Pilot._ _The Last of the Mohicans._ _The Prairie._ _The Pathfinder._ _The Deerslayer._ _The Red Rover._ The young reader had better plunge into Cooper before he ceases to be a young reader; not that the adult reader cannot enjoy these virile narratives, which have been read all over the world for nearly a century, they will always remain important records of early American life; but better fiction soon displaces them, growth in literary taste makes evident the defects which Mark Twain sets forth in his witty essay on Cooper; and to have grown beyond Cooper without having met and enjoyed him means a genuine loss. DINAH MARIA CRAIK (Mrs. Mulock, 1826-87). _John Halifax, Gentleman._ FRANCIS MARION CRAWFORD (1854-1909). _Mr. Isaacs._ _Dr. Claudius._ _Saracinesca._ _Sant’ Ilario._ _A Cigarette Maker’s Romance._ Crawford had a vein of real genius which is obscured by the great number of his less meritorious books. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS (1824-92). _Prue and I._ This pleasant, fine-hearted humorist should not be neglected by the rising generation of Americans. GEORGE CUPPLES (1822-91). _The Green Hand._ RICHARD HENRY DANA (1815-82). _Two Years Before the Mast._
