The Lady or the Tiger and Other Stories

Kessinger Publishing, 2005

A fun collection of fantastic imaginative stories.
I regret waiting until I was 31 to read this gem. It appears this book has been well read and well recognized the world over for some reason or other. I never have heard of it until I picked it up in a second hand book store. I sure am glad I did. Stockton wrote in the late 1800s to early 1900s. His works, mostly fiction, tell stories of the oddest occurences and strangest events. ...

Frank Richard Stockton

Dufour Editions, 1965

A kind and magical creature brings life to an old town.
Beautifully written tale of the last griffin who visits a town where his image-a statue- has been part of the old church for hundreds of years. The only person with enough courage to speak with the terrifying Griffin is the Minor Canon. The townsfolk are sure that the Griffin will eat their children. Their selfishness and small-mindedness leads them to a life they couldn't have imagined. ...

The Bee-Man of Orn and Other Fanciful Tales

4 reviews

Neeland Media LLC, 2004

Astoundingly Beautiful Illustrations & Story
Stockton outdid himself with this amazing story of the Bee Man - my all-time favorite picture book character. Exquisitely illustrated by P.J. Lynch, the story comes to life to tell of the Bee Man, aptly named for the swarms of bees he keeps as company. A sorcerer comes to reveal a life-changing secret to him, so he sets out on a journey to confirm its truth, and therefore his own origin. ...

Looking Glass Library; distributed by Random House, 1960

Intro to Pirates
First published in 1898, at a time when pulp-fiction was hitting its stride with wild west stories, Stockton presents us with a series of semi-biographies of pirates from the 18th century and later. He focuses primarily on the buccaneers, but verges over into the Golden Age of Piracy for the last few pirates. The list of pirates chronicled include: Peter the Great (aka Pierre Le Grand), ...

Round-about Rambles in Lands of Fact and Fancy

Enlightened Books, 2007

PREFACE Come along, boys and girls! We are off on our rambles. But please do not ask me where we are going. It would delay us very much if I should postpone our start until I had drawn you a map of the route, with all the stopping-places set down. We have far to go, and a great many things to see, and it may be that some of you will be very tired before we get through. If so, I shall be sorry; but it will be a comfort to think that none of us ...

The Century co, 1898

Wonderful whimsical humor
Frank Stockton was an amazing writer. He wrote about the most outlandish happenings in the most whimsical style, and made them all as humorous as they could be by doing so with a totally straight face. Understatement was his forte. In this, one of his very best novels, two plucky elderly women encounter all kinds of adventures and misfortunes, but face all difficulties with courage and ...
