McCutcheon, American newspaperman and novelist begins The Daughter of Anderson Crow: He was imposing, even in his pensiveness. There was no denying the fact that he was an important personage in Tinkletown, and to the residents of Tinkletown that meant a great deal, for was not their village a perpetual monument to the American Revolution? Even the most generalizing of historians were compelled to devote at least a paragraph to the battle of Tinkletown, while some of the more enlightened gave a whole page and a picture of the conflict that brought glory to the sleepy inhabitants whose ancestors were enterprising enough to annihilate a whole company of British redcoats, once on a time.

The American newspaperman and novelist begins The Sherrods: Through the soft summer night came the sounds of the silence that is heard only when nature sleeps, imperceptible except as one feels it behind the breath he draws or perhaps realizes it in the touch of an unexpected branch or flower. The stillness of a silence that is not silent; a stillness so dead that the croaking of frogs, the chirping of crickets, the barking of dogs, the hooting of owls, the rustling of leaves are not heard, although the air is heavy with those voices of the night-the stillness of a night in the country. All human activity apparently at an end, all sign of life lost in somber shadows. The ceaseless croaking, the chirping, the hooting, the rustling themselves make up this unspeakable silence-this sweet, unconscious solitude.

Brewster's Millions was originally published in 1902, and has been adapted into numerous plays and movies including the Richard Pryor film from the 1980s. In the novel, also a comedy, Montgomery Brewster inherits a million dollars from his grandfather, but shortly after that, his eccentric uncle passes away. The uncle hated the grandfather, so in his will he stipulates that Montgomery will inherit seven million dollars only if he can spend the million he already inherited within a year. Money went a little further back in 1902, which is why the later adaptations switched it to a month. This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.
